Deerthug Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I have been looking to get either a biometric lock or a clamshell type push keypad lock for my two shotguns for easy access for home defense. Right now I have cable trigger locks on both and I'm always worried about losing the keys and fumbling to unlock it in the middle of the night during an emergency. I've scoured the internet and I've found some homemade DIY type biometric battery operated locks but they do not seem too secure. I've also seen ones made from converted police vehicle mounts. I don't want to spend too much on the locks but I want something secure and one that gives me ease of access in case of emergency. If anyone has any experience with something like this please PM me. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fehyd643 Posted February 19, 2014 Share Posted February 19, 2014 I know this isnt what you are looking for, but my wife and I came up with a much cheaper solution. We have the key to our home defense shotgun on a keychain with one of those small keychain LED lights. This key is hidden but reachable at night near our bed, and pocketed during the day.

Deerthug Posted February 19, 2014 Author Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Fehyd643 I thought about doing that but the only problem is I have two SG in different locations in my house. So I would have to hide two different keychains in different locations and then pocket them during the day. It still does not solve the problem of fumbling at night even with a small LED light. I would rather have the ability to press only a couple of buttons or stick my thumb on a biometric lock and have it pop open without having to worry about losing keys.

Fehyd643 Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 Gotcha. My house is small enough that I just need one in my bedroom. You are in a totally different scenario! lol.

Nomad Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Not what your looking for,but this safe is made to hold a shotgun ready for use,and is fast opening .but you'd need two....and it would be pretty much out in the open. Just thought I'd pass it on. http://www.amazon.com/Sentry-HDC11E-Defense-Center-Cubic/dp/B0075JO1AO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
