Overview
Dalmbox's compact steel lock box holds a single handgun in a padded 9.2 x 6.1 x 1.6 inch interior and closes with a resettable combination. At 2.73 pounds it is light enough to move between a car, a bag and a nightstand, with a steel cable to anchor it wherever it lands.
This is priced and sized as a basic in-car lockbox rather than a home safe, and several buyers use it exactly that way, keeping one in each vehicle to satisfy state laws requiring a locked container for a stored firearm. It is a combination lock, not biometric or app based, which keeps the price down but means access takes a few extra seconds compared with the electronic safes in this lineup.
- 9.4 x 6.4 x 1.8 inch steel case, 2.73 lb
- Combination lock, no batteries needed
- Foam-padded interior
- Steel cable with notch anchor point
Who it's for
Fits someone who needs a low-cost way to lock up one handgun in a car, hotel room or drawer rather than a dedicated home gun safe. Less suited to anyone wanting a heavier, harder-to-defeat box, since the thin steel shell can be pried open with basic tools.
Pros and cons
- Meets state laws for locked in-car firearm storage
- Cheap enough to buy one per vehicle
- Steel security cable included for anchoring
- Thin steel can be pried open with basic tools
- Tight fit with bulky holsters
- Internal latch hardware can work loose over time
