Hi Everyone,

I'd like to get some suggestions regarding gun storage.  Right now my museum has what I would call a metal utility cabinet that houses the rifles/shotguns in our gun collection that is secured with a padlock that has been added on.  This cabinet holds about 40 guns, with the remainder of our handguns (not sure of how many at this point) in a locked storage room.  I do not feel that these provide adequate storage/security as the cabinet is located in a hallway, that is supposed to be limited to staff only, but this isn't always the case.  I'd like to get a more secured storage facility for these artifacts that would be fire proof and would also be able to store some of our valuable jewelry, coins, etc.  I've been looking at gun safes online, but wondered if anybody has a vendor they've worked with, suggestions for types of safes, etc.  

Thanks,
Julie
