There are around 13 million Stack-On® gun boxes in America
That’s 13 million gun cabinets that do not properly store modern rifles and shotguns. The challenge with traditional firearms storage solutions is they do not take into account the size and form factor of modern sporting rifles or traditional rifles with scopes.
SecureIt® Conversion Kits Solve the Problem
Here we have a typical Stack-On® gun cabinet. In this example, the cabinet has an advertised capacity of 14 rifles. As you can see there is no way you will come close to fitting 14 modern sporting rifles in this cabinet.
The plastic barrel holder does not provide the proper standoff for AR platform firearms or traditional rifles with scopes. The guns end up leaning against each other and the risk of damage is greatly increased.
Upgrading Your Stack-On Cabinet
Below, we are using the SecureIt® Retrofit 6 conversion kit.
Retrofit 6 Gun Safe Conversion Kit
SecureIt’s patented gun safe conversion kits feature CradleGrid™ technology, allowing you to upgrade your existing gun cabinet or gun safe to properly store modern sporting and tactical rifles, as well as traditional rifles and shotguns. Each conversion kit features an assortment of adjustable firearm storage components and is designed to address a wide variety of applications at affordable price points.
SecureIt Retrofit Kit 6 installed in-cabinet
The louvered grid panels are installed on the back of the Stack-On cabinet
In this installation, we used peel and stick Velcro®. It works really well and is fast and easy to install. The Velcro strips are placed horizontally since this install will only hold the rifle cradles and support little additional weight. There is not much vertical load on the grids in this configuration so, there is not much need for a lot of Velcro. If you are going to use a lot of bins to store accessories and gear, run three strips of Velcro vertically, the length of each grid. This will provide maximum shear strength and allow you store in excess of 50 lbs of rifles, accessories, and gear on the grids, using the movable components of the CradleGrid system.
Proper storage for modern firearms
Here we see how to properly store modern and traditional firearms together in one cabinet. The SecureIt Tactical CradleGrid system provides the proper standoff from the back of the cabinet. It provides proper spacing for storing all modern sporting rifles (AR15, AR10, AK47, etc.) and rifles with scopes, and is quickly adjustable to accommodate the widely varying lengths of firearms today.
Stack-On gun cabinet upgrade, using a SecureIt Retrofit Kit 6 which leverages CradleGrid technology.
Here we are properly storing:
- Remington 700 308 bull barrel
- AR10 SuperSASS with Leupold Mk IV Scope
- Colt Comp AR15
- FN SCAR with Acog
- S&W AR15 with Eotech
- RPD machine gun
I Like the Retro fit kits. I have this old gun cabinet it measures 37.5″ horizontally interior. I happen to have a Secureit Rapid 2 Kit. The buttplate cradle measures 5.75″ across simple math tells me that 7 kits would almost fill the hole. But it would be much simpler if there were a exact fit. say a 14 rifle kit. It would require some minor trimming to inlet some molding either way. I also will need some extra backing to come down from the top Back down to the existing barrel shelf. A few pistol pins and a couple of right and left pistol display pins. I do not want to destroy the old cabinet, incase my son would like to restore it someday. The current cabinet hold 10 long guns, with the upgrade it should hold 14 a lot more securely. Pistol pins what is there max weight on the pins. Would one hold a 7 pound pistol? Are the pins coated in any way to protect the barrels? The Rapid 2 Kit sit right inside a closet door next to my bed, but I have to reach across a dog crate (Long Arms) no one would suspect there is any thing there. There is Also an scorpion evo3 s1 enclosed in the headboard. only slightly prepared, just have not enough room for ammo. hesitate to store much in the garage zero sometimes below in the winter and somewhere north of 120 in the summer. Garage is not insulated yet. Another project for spring. Gun cabinet would be a good cold weather project.
