Here is the scenario: Either you or someone in your house has a shotgun or a rifle.
Questions:
What if my kid or his/her friend over – the one I don't like – gets hold of that gun?
What if a thief breaks in and takes that gun?
I am definitely not buying a gun vault but what if something happens?
I have to do something!!!
Sample Set-up
Hiding your shotgun…
in your closet…
safe in a gun lock.
Have a new rifle or shotgun? Release internal set screw and move gun lock up or down on crossbar to a new position.
One-way screw keeps crossbar safely in place.
Butt-stock is safe in butt plate secured to the floor.
You may use either vertical or horizontal setup attached to a solid wall or frame element behind the wall.
CROSSBAR is bolted with 2 One-Way screws into a minimum 2" x 4" stud behind the wall.
Two LARGE WASHERS provide the necessary clearance between the wall and CROSSBAR so gun lock can slide up and down to a suitable height to block weapon removal.
GUN LOCK height on CROSSBAR is adjusted by setting/releasing an internal set screw with a 5/32"(4 mm) ALLEN KEY that positions GUN LOCK at a height you select on FLAT BAR.
BUTT PLATE is bolted to the floor with 2 or 3 screws for the butt stock of the weapon.
Preferred location for the setup is in a corner of the closet where limited space also prevents anybody to apply enough force to brake the whole setup from the stud/wall.
Your setup is as strong as the surface you are using for the mount.
