Gardall GS-2522-G-C Gun & Pistol Safe

UL Group II combination lock: anti-theft pistol storage, bolted-down

Built for handgun owners who want serious theft protection without a tall gun-safe footprint, the Gardall GS-2522-G-C is an American-made anti-theft pistol safe. A 1/8-inch steel body, a recessed pry-resistant door, and a UL-listed Group II combination lock with three active bolts make it a focused burglary deterrent rather than a fire box.

At 25 inches high by 22 inches wide by 16.75 inches deep and 182 pounds, this floor-standing safe offers about 3.9 cubic feet of interior space. The 24.5 by 21.5 by 13-inch interior holds several handguns plus accessories, cleaning supplies, and small valuables on a single adjustable shelf above a carpeted base.

Engineering & Security

• ✓UL Group II combination lock: The UL-listed Group II dial lock offers roughly one million combinations and needs no batteries or power, with an electronic lock available as a factory option.
• ✓Three active locking bolts: Chrome-plated round bolts throw 1-1/4 inches behind a 1/4-inch door jamb that runs continuously around the body frame to resist prying.
• ✓1/8-inch steel body: Plate-steel body with a recessed pry-resistant door and 1/4-inch reinforcement around the collar concentrates strength at the attack points.
• ✓Dual relocking devices: One relocker sits in the lock and a second independent external relocker freezes the bolts in place if either is struck or punched.
• ✓Hardplate and shear-pin handle: A drill-resistant hardplate shields the lock, while a shear-pin handle snaps off flush if forced, leaving the bolts locked.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This GS-series model is a burglary-focused pistol safe and carries no fire rating; choose a Gardall BGF Firelined safe if fire protection matters.

Quick Access & Daily Use

• ✓Four floor-anchor holes: Pre-drilled anchor holes in the base let you bolt the safe to the floor, the single most effective deterrent against carry-off theft.
• ✓Full-length hinge-side dead bar: A continuous locking bar on the hinge side keeps the door captured even if the external hinges are attacked.
• ✓Adjustable shelf and carpeted base: One adjustable shelf organizes handguns and gear over a carpeted floor that helps prevent scratches to firearms and finishes.
• ✓Pre-drilled electrical port: A pre-drilled hole in the back routes a cord for a dehumidifier rod or interior light to keep contents dry and visible.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The GS-2522-G-C suits handgun owners and small-business owners who want a dedicated, anchorable theft deterrent for pistols and valuables rather than a fire safe. At 25 by 22 by 16.75 inches and 182 pounds with about 3.9 cubic feet inside, it bolts down discreetly in a closet, office, or home.

If you need less safe, the compact Gardall PS96-B-E handgun safe is a far smaller step down. If you want larger capacity with fire-lined construction, step up to the Gardall BGF-6024-B-C or BGF-6030-B-C Firelined gun safes.
