ShotLock AR Solo-Vault
2.6/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
A 13 lb, 14-gauge steel wall vault (model S-ARSV200M) that covers the action of one AR-15 and opens with a mechanical push-button lock. Northwest Safe lists it among its top apartment safes for ARs, and a USCCA member keeps one bolted to closet studs in an apartment. I picked it for a single rifle hidden behind the clothes.

Who it's for
- Best wall-mounted AR safe in Best Gun Safe for Apartment Renters – 5 Picks and How to Anchor Them: For a renter with one AR-15 who can put two lag screws into closet studs; most of the rifle stays outside the box, so it keeps kids off the action rather than stopping a thief, and rifles with variable optics or vertical grips may not fit.
What we like
- Light 13 lb unit that mounts to studs with small holes that patch at move-out
- Mechanical push-button lock with no batteries; Recoil opened it in two or three seconds
- Nine back holes for vertical or horizontal mounting on a wall or floor
What to know first
- Partial enclosure in 14-gauge steel: not burglary resistant, and a USCCA member noted a skilled lock picker could beat it
- Recoil could not fit any of its variable optics; vertical grips and short stocks can interfere
