3.5/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
My pick for rifles plus papers: a 14-gauge Rhino Metals safe that claims 42 long guns, has a door organizer with pockets and is a California DOJ firearm safety device; its 30 minutes at 1400°F is Rhino's own rating.

Who it's for
- Best for long guns and documents in Best Safe for Guns and Documents – 5 Picks Sized for Both: For a homeowner with long guns who wants the papers in the same locked steel; the fire rating names no lab, Rhino publishes no interior size, and at 333 lb it belongs on a ground floor or slab.
- Best gun safe for a large collection in Best Fire Rated Gun Safe – 4 Picks and Who Certified Each Rating: For a homeowner with a big long gun collection who wants a California DOJ listed safe with some fire protection; the 30-minute rating is Rhino's own, the steel is thinner than the Steelwater's, and some owners of Kodiak safes report lock and service trouble.
What we like
- Room for a long gun collection plus a shelf of documents
- Door organizer with handgun holders and pockets
- California DOJ firearm safety device, pre-drilled to bolt to the floor
- Largest body here: 56 x 29 x 22 in outside with a 42 long gun claim
- UL Listed electronic lock, heat-expanding intumescent door seal, pre-drilled to bolt to the floor

What to know first

- Owners report lock and service problems on Kodiak models, and a musty smell when a dehumidifier was not recharged
- 30 minutes at 1400°F is Rhino's own rating, and 14-gauge steel is thinner than the Steelwater's 12-gauge
- Kodiak owners on Reddit and Northwest Firearms report lock failures, musty smells when a dehumidifier is neglected, and slow customer service
