Portable Firearm Storage Units are Made in America
Shakopee, MN (May 22, 2023 ) Steelhead Outdoors is proud to announce its American-Made, large HD Lockbox. Weighing in at over 11 pounds, it measures 8.5” wide x 11” long x 3” tall. Formed and welded from heavy duty 12-gauge steel makes the HD Lockbox 75-160% thicker than most competitors who manufacture overseas using 16–20-gauge steel. The HD Lockbox features a high-end key lock with a unique multi-sidebar arrangement that makes picking with traditional tools all but impossible. The lock has 6 billion key combinations and features a hardened drill-resistant body. This lock style is more secure and pick resistant than tubular and traditional wafer locks that are found on almost all other lockboxes. Steelhead engineers incorporated a double shear lock mechanism to provide increased pry support. Two keys are included.
Massive ¼”” hinges are staked, welded and feature an integrated pin guard to prevent punch attacks. Steelhead’s hinges are twice as thick as most hinges. The HD Lockbox comes in a durable black textured powder coat finish with a charcoal grey handle. The lockbox bottom features two layers of 3/8” foam to fine tune the gun fitment, while the top includes thick, compressible convoluted foam to hold firearms firmly in place. The large size will accommodate a large handgun or two compact handguns.
The lockbox base features four holes to allow for anchoring. A cable accessory can be used to secure the lock box within a vehicle or other settings. The optional Steelhead 3’ security cable accessory is American-made featuring a heavy duty ¼” 7×9 galvanized cable coated in nylon to 5/16” thick and rated to 6,000 lbs. The Steelhead cable is thicker than competitor cables and helps deter thieves. To provide universal attachment the cable has a loop on one end and a stopper button on the other end which attaches to the lockbox. Steelhead HD Lockbox retails for $190 with free shipping and the optional cable accessory retails for $25. Contact Steelhead for quantity pricing.

Formed and welded from 14-gauge steel with a 10-gauge door, the Steelhead handgun locker features a premium key lock with a unique multi-side bars design that makes picking with traditional tools all but impossible. The lock has 6 billion key combinations and features a drill-resistant body. This lock style is more secure and pick resistant than tubular and traditional wafer locks that are found on almost all other lockboxes. A double shear lock mechanism provides increased pry-resistance. It’s available in a durable black textured powder coat finish with a charcoal grey key surround. The base features a layer of 3/8” foam to protect stowed firearms. The large size locker will fit 1-2 handguns and can accommodate large pistols with attachments and can be configured to create storage banks dependent upon an agency’s current and anticipated needs.

“We listened to our agency partners and designed our oversized Steelhead pistol lockers to help them update their sallyports to allow for stowing new duty guns with optics and lights,” explained Steelhead Outdoors Co-Founder Corey Meyer. “Our pistol lockers are nestable to create a customizable storage option. We’re also happy to work on customized weapon storage units to accommodate departments’ unique requirements.”
Upgrading pistol lockers helps protect officers and the public from unauthorized access to firearms. Outdated pistol lockers may be easily breached, allowing unauthorized individuals to access firearms. A well-designed, larger pistol locker can help prevent accidental discharges and other firearms-related injuries. Response time and overall efficiency can be improved with a larger modern pistol locker that makes it easier for officers to access firearms when needed. Newer pistol lockers may also help departments comply with state and federal regulations and avoid fines or other penalties. Reducing a law enforcement agency’s liability risk and enhancing its public image are other compelling reasons to upgrade pistol lockers.

About Steelhead Outdoors:
Founded in 2016, Steelhead Outdoors is an innovative safe company offering the only American-made, modular, fire-insulated gun safe available currently on the market.

Since they couldn’t buy it, they decided to build it. Steelhead Outdoors was created with the goal of building a safe that customers could, and would want to, take with them from one home to the next, or pass down from one generation to the next. Four years of research and development went into the flagship Nomad Series, to create a durable, lasting and innovative modular gun safe.
