This forum doesn't get the traffic it used to, so here is a decent video on the largest Snapsafe Titan XXL.

I have looked at these for a long time. I would like to get my second safe into a closet with a small door. I noticed they sell these at lowes and homedepot, I wonder if you can get the 10% off through them.

$3,700 for weak 9 gauge steel seems like a rip off, and you have to assemble it yourself.
I personally feel like a lot of these gun cabinet and gun safe companies rip off gun owners. A lot gun cabinets (not safes, but cabinets) run between 2-3k, the same size "office cabinet" with the same steel thickness and lock mechanisms run around $500 on Amazon. The only difference is shelving instead of slots for guns. I had Gallow Tech give me an estimate for a cabinet, they quoted $3,800 for a 14 gauge steel cabinet, a cabinet that's not even a gun safe. I found a similar sized cabinet with the same mechanism on Amazon for $500 Anyway, just an observation. |

Could be handy to store mags, ammo, gear in. Do agree that there is some markup with cabinets & "safes" when you add the word gun or tactical to it. |

It may not have all the rifle slots inside, but at $500, you could probably piece together your own system. Spending $3,700 to just have a weak steel cabinet is just crazy. This would be the same amount of "security" at a fraction of the price. https://www.gladiatorgarageworks.com/products/ready-to-assemble-extra-large-gearbox?variant=39514508722264cy=USD&utm_medium=product_sync&utm_source=google&utm_content=sag_organic&utm_campaign=sag_organic&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIrpTX1aKi-AIV1x-tBh2giw9xEAQYESABEgIanfD_BwE |

The doors on that thing could probably be pried open with a moderately size flathead screwdriver. |

They won't stop anyone with an eagerness to pry. It's just good for keeping kids out at best. Here's a similar example for $260 It has the same 3 point type locking mechanism as the Gallow Tech cabinet: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09HBQ1LGH/ref=cm_sw_r_api_i_57JJPM386XDT1GP9RXW6_4?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&dplnkId=6ebd6257-9362-4c92-ac2a-3889d4da074f&nodl=1 |

They wobble like crazy and can easily be opened with a screw driver at the seams. I have Durham 12 gauge cabinet, it weighs a ton, is a nightmare to move around, and it is durable as hell. I paid about $900 for it 6 years ago. $3,000 plus is insane for 14 gauge, but then again it is custom. I actually like the snapsafe and will probably grab the xxl double door, but that is because I need to get it up narrow stairs and into a closet. I had a nice tl-15, but we moved into a 2 story with a basement so that beast had to go. |

The XXL is probably going to be in my future. Thanks for starting this thread.
ETA. I thought it was bigger. I’ve been studying this one for a while and in all their info, it looked wider and taller. With him standing beside it, it looks small. |

I don’t think that the snap safe is a true 9 gauge steel body.
Last time I checked, it was 2 layers of thinner steel. I don’t think that is a strong. |

"2 ply 9 gauge steel" implies 2x layers of 14 gauge, which is why the previous poster mentioned 14 gauge. ETA- Zanotti armor advertises 1/8", so between 10 and 11 gauge, but a solid sheet I believe. So the question becomes, thinner solid sheet or thicker double layer? |

Thanks for the video. I will probably be getting the Titan XL. I really like double door setup and the fact that I can easily move it and put it anywhere in the house.

Ill probably try to reach out and find out, because if the seams and edges aren't the same double layer, they could be significantly weak. |
