SentrySafe G1459E 14-Gun Electronic Lock Safe Review

SentrySafe G1459E

SentrySafe G1459E 14-Gun Electronic Lock Safe

The SentrySafe G1459E is a high-end long gun safe designed for keeping rifles, shotguns and other long weapons secure and organized. It is more than the basic gun cabinet as it offers thicker walls, a large interior and an easy to program electronic lock.

Because of its ample space and shelving you could also use it to lock away any number of different valuables such as jewelry or electronic equipment.

It has a sleek and stylish design and is also built with quality security in mind due to its hardened steel protective plates and 3-bolt locking system. However, with all its excellent features this long gun safe is not fireproof or waterproof. This is something for you to consider before choosing what you store away.

Let’s see what else this gun safe has to offer.

Who Will Benefit From This Safe?

This gun safe will be a very useful item for those who have a collection of large guns and need one place to keep them all organized and secure. It will provide peace of mind knowing that whether you are in your home or away, your guns will be safe. If you need your guns for hunting, recreational shooting or home defense keeping them in one place would be beneficial.

SentrySafe G1459E Long Gun Safe

With an interior of 58.7 x 20.7 x 12.9 inches this will allow you to not only store away guns but also other large items such as swords, martial arts weapons or a compound bow and arrow. The SentrySafe G1459E doesn’t have to be limited to only gun storage.

Of course long gun storage is its main purpose and it can hold up to 14 rifles or shotguns. This will depend on the size of each individual gun. The full capacity of 14 long guns may seem overstated for some of you if you have most or all of your rifles fitted with scopes.

In these circumstances I would maybe lower the capacity to 8 or 9 but that is still a good number to store away. If you have 14 long rifles all with some kind of optics attached then you may find that they won’t all fit. Scoped guns can be turned to the side so they rest on the rail. Alternatively, you could get scope rails installed.

The SentrySafe G1459E offers quick access to your guns while also keeping them secure  from intruders. IF you hate fiddling around with combination locks then you should find the electronic locking system a breeze. It uses a simple code that just needs to be punched into the keypad to unlock the door in seconds.

If your primary objective is to keep your children from having access to your firearms then you will find that this long gun safe will do just that. Unless your child has a heavy metal cutter handy then I seriously doubt they have any chance of getting in this thing.

One more important note before we look at the build of the safe. As mentioned above, this is not a fireproof or waterproof safe. It wasn’t designed for this purpose. If you require a long gun safe that has fireproofing and waterproofing then you will have to pay a fair bit extra. However, as with all safes, it will be an investment that will actually save you money if a fire does break out. Something to think about especially for those with more permanent addresses.

Construction And Design

Unlike some safes on the market today this presents itself to be more high-end and exquisite. It has quite a nice exterior design with its basic but smart furnishings and bright chrome and satin color combination. You could have this long gun safe tucked away in your living room and it wouldn’t stand out as much as you would think.

It is nicely constructed; however some of you may find that the walls are thinner than expected. I don’t see this as a major flaw especially if you decide to hide the safe away and also bolt it to the floor. All this helps add that little extra security to an already strong unit.

It will keep the kids out and give a potential burglar a difficult task of trying to break in while the police are on their way. You will find that thicker walls come with the fireproofed versions because they have to allow for the padding. As mentioned above, these will cost more.

The SentrySafe G1459E is quite heavy at just under 200lbs. This is actually a good thing because it will prevent burglars from tipping it over or carrying it away.  The solid steel door has concealed hinges making it pry-resistant regardless of what tools are used. Inside the door there is an additional hardened steel plate that will protect against any drill attacks to the lock.

The interior has been professionally carpeted and has very little chance of peeling. The carpeting will protect your rifles from being scratched which is very useful especially if your guns are worth a lot of money or if they are collector’s items.

If you have smaller items such as handguns, ammo or other items, you can place them on the adjustable top shelf. There should be ample room up there.

Locking Mechanism And Security

For a strong locking system this gun safe has heavy duty 3 dead bolts and 3 steel live locking bolts at the top, center and bottom of the door.

For any thief planning on drilling their way into the safe they will come across the drill-resistant solidified steel plate that will no doubt stop them in their paths. A nice little touch I thought. The lock is digital or electronic, and has a keypad on the door above the handle.

Four AA batteries will have to be placed into the keypad allowing you two ways to program the 5 digit code. A back up key is provided in case you forget the code and the instructions are included so it really is not a difficult process at all.

Conclusion

This is the safe for you if you are not too concerned with fireproofing or waterproofing. You are mainly looking for a secure safe to keep your rifles or shotguns locked up in.

The construction of this Sentry Safe G1459E is sound and if bolted to a wall it couldn’t be any more secure. It will provide a place for you to line up your guns safely and even has room on the shelf for other items.

This really is a great gun safe for anyone with a lot of guns looking to keep them in one organized place.

  • The digital system allows fast access to get to your guns in an emergency.
  • Very stylish looking for a safe.
  • Can be used to store other items other than guns.
CONS
  • There is sufficient room for another shelf. If another shelf was needed I am sure another could be fitted with basic D.I.Y.
