Introduction
If you own firearms, secure storage is more than just a legal requirement—it’s a life-saving responsibility. At Lock Champions Locksmith, we help homeowners and gun owners throughout Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the Twin Cities metro secure their firearms with proper gun safes, locks, and expert advice. Whether you’re buying your first safe or need help opening a jammed one, here’s what you should know.


🔒 Why Every Gun Owner Needs a Proper Gun Safe
Firearms should never be accessible to children, visitors, or burglars. A UL-rated gun safe provides peace of mind, legal protection, and better control over your weapons.


✅ What to Look for in a Gun Safe

  • Fire rating: Choose a safe with at least 30 minutes of fire protection.
  • Steel thickness: 10–12 gauge is ideal.
  • Lock type: Mechanical or digital keypad? We can help you decide.
  • Interior storage: Shelving and compartments for ammo and handguns.
  • Size matters: Always get a bigger safe than you think you need.
