Gun lockers (programming.dev)

I wanted a long gun locker. Why is it that I can only find 2 categories in the market:

  • flimsy cabinets that you could open without tools;
  • mega safes that will stand as a testament to humanity in 1000 years.

Where's my middle option?

I'd say the middle option are gun lockers that are secure from theft, but not necessarily fireproof. Not a true gun "safe".

  1. POS that's a glorified file cabinet.
  2. Secure but not fireproof.
  3. Fireproof gun safe.

That's what I'm looking for, but failing to find.

First one on this page looks pretty slick:

It has a bluetooth biometric key. You can use a thumbprint to remotely unlock and open it from across the room(!)

I've never seen something like that.

Being a tech guy that knows how the sausage is made, I'd rather have a mechanical lock, as a rule. #4 looks pretty interesting, thank you!
