Organizing a Gunroom: My Lockdown Wishlist

Last month, I shared my plan of attack for organizing my gunroom. So far I’ve purchased the bins, thrown out a lot of trash and decided which firearms are going into each safe. Now is the fun part. It’s time for me to create my Lockdown wishlist and do some online shopping.

I began searching through Lockdown’s website in the order I plan on organizing my room. The following rendition is my “if I could have the perfect gunroom” list. 

Gun Vaults

As I mentioned above, the firearms are now in two separate safes. However, I crammed them inside there any-which-way just to get them off the floor and secured. Now, I want to organize them in a way that I may easily find what I am looking for without having to remove half of them first.

Handgun /AR Upper Hanger

Adding a Lockdown Handgun/AR Upper Hanger to the door is a great way to take advantage of the unused space on the door. (Who needs all those patches? I can easily find somewhere else to display them.) Plus, by putting my pistols on the door, it will free up some space on the floor. 

MSRP: $39.99

Lockdown Vault Drawer

Another way to make more space on the safe’s floor or to store other valuables is with Lockdown’s Vault Drawer. It easily mounts right underneath a vault shelf. I might even use it to store some important paperwork. 

MSRP: $27.99

cordless 75 LED vault light

Cordless 75 Led Vault Light

Adding lighting is another way to make it easier to search inside my gun safes. Lockdown’s Cordless 75 Led Vault Light has a 95-total-lumens output. I like that I have the choice of mounting it, using the light’s built-in magnet or with screws. 

MSRP: $24.99

Lockdown Cordless LED Vault Light

Automatic Cordless 25 LED Light

I’m also drawn to this cool accessory: the Automatic Cordless 25 LED Lights. These lights come in packs of two and have motion sensors that automatically turn on as soon as the door is opened and off when closed (or we think it turns off, but we’ll never know). 

MSRP: $47.99

The Work Area

Once I move a few pieces of furniture around, I know I will have more wall space. Although my plan is to get most things put away in cupboards and drawers, I would like to have some items and tools readily available. 

Lockdown secure walls

SecureWall Panel 

I’m excited to have the ability to organize the walls and workbench area with SecureWall Panels. Since I am creating a brand new work area for myself, I know I may want to change locations of items along the way. By using these panels, I will always have the ability to change things up. 

Standard MSRP: $39.99 – $55.99

Heavy Duty MSRP: $49.99 – $69.99

SecureWall Accouterments

Lockdown offers numerous products to use on SecureWall Panels. Baskets, shelfs, hooks, and hangers are some of the items I may want. See all the SecureWall products here

Magnum Magnet

Magnum Magnet

For a firearm I want to keep out of the safe (whether temporary or permanently), a Magnum Magnet is a great way to keep it off the floor. I’m thinking I can place it on the outside a gun safe. 

MSRP: $34.99

barrel rest

Magnetic Barrel Rest

A Magnetic Barrel Rest is a great way to keep long guns from falling when they are out of the safe. Since my cabinets are metal, they offer numerous places for this piece of gear. 

MSRP: $21.99

Moisture Control

Exposing firearms to moisture may lead to rust, which might cause parts to stick together, work improperly and possibly misfire. Basically, moisture is bad, bad, bad for firearms. Thankfully, Lockdown has a few products to help monitor and control moisture. 

automatic Lockdown dehumidifier

Dehumidifiers

Lockdown offers numerous types of dehumidifiers to choose from, depending on the location and amount space available. You can bet these handy accessories will be on the must-have order list soon.

MSRP: $24.99 – $119.99

silica gel

Silica Gel

There’s no need for outlets or batteries with silica gel packets. When placed inside a safe, a packet goes to work, absorbing moisture from the air. Once fully saturated, just place it in the oven to recharge it for use again. Where are these directions? What temperature?

MSRP: $7.99 – $24.99

Security

Puck

As for security of the room, as well as monitoring moisture and temperature, I plan on setting up my Lockdown Puck

MSRP: $119.99

Now I just have to order the products for my gun safes and I get those organized. Then I can check another step off my list.
