How to Organize Your Gun Safe with a Gun Magnet
Whether you are looking to better organize a small or big gun safe, gun magnets are always a good place to start. If your handguns have been unceremoniously thrown into a pile in your safe, install gun magnets underneath the safe’s shelves. This allows you to position your guns on the gun magnets, making room on the actual shelf surface for more firearms and equipment. And worried about magnetizing your gun? Won’t happen – click here to learn why.
Install multiple gun magnets to hold both firearms and magazines
You can also attach gun magnets to the door of your gun safe to hold loose handguns. This lets you maximize gun safe space by freeing up shelf space completely.
Like fridge magnets…
This setup can also be applied to bigger guns, allowing you to avoid the clutter of horizontally stacked rifles on shelves.
This can be installed both inside and outside your gun safe
Use a Magnetic Magazine Mount to Mount Multiple Magazines
Since most gun owners have more magazines than guns, spare magazines left lying around often leads to disorganization. A quick and easy way to organize your gun safe is to simply install magnetic magazine mounts inside your safe to secure your magazines, preventing them from being grouped into unorganized piles. Similar to the gun magnet concept, magnetic magazine mounts can either be attached to your gun safe door or below your safe’s shelves.
There’s something satisfying about this…
Handgun Hangers for Organizing Pistols in Your Safe
Handgun hangers are one of the most painless ways to organize your gun safe. Without the need to drill holes or use 3M tape, they’re like clothes hangers for your pistols.
Easy to hang, easy to remove
To use, slip the hanger into the barrel of your firearm and hook them onto the edge of your gun safe’s shelf.
The longer side goes into the barrel of the gun
If you own many handguns, you can use multiple handgun hangers to hang up your pistols and better maximize your gun safe space. With hangers securing your guns beneath the shelf, you can better organize your gun safe by being able to store more on the top portion of the shelf while simultaneously organizing any handguns that had been left lying around.
Quite the array
NOTE: since handgun hangers curve slightly downwards, your firearms will hang lower than if they were secured by a gun magnet. This may reduce space to store other guns below the hangers.
Magazine Hangers: Perfect for Quick Reloading
With magazine hangers, you are able to hang 5-6 magazines on your gun safe shelf per hanger. This accessory serves as a quick and easy gun safe interior modification that greatly aids in organizing your gun safe by cleaning up space previously taken up by spare magazines. It also allows for quick reloading, should a firefight break out inside your home with you pinned behind/near your safe. For tips on how to stay ready for such a situation, find out how to hide a gun in your bedroom here.
Magnetic Barrel Rest: Used Inside and Outside the Gun Safe
In this picture, the magnetic barrel rest is installed outside of the gun safe. However, this setup can be implemented as one of your gun safe interior modifications as well. Simply install the magnetic barrel rest on the inside wall of the safe, and rest your rifles against it. This can also be achieved with gun magnets – securing each rifle to its own magnetic gun mount.
Door Panel Organizer: the Cheap and Expensive Option
If you’ve ever bought a closet door organizer to hold your shoes and clothes, this is the same thing. But for guns.
Depending on the door organizer you choose to use to organize your gun safe, you’ll have numerous pockets for magazines, ammo, handguns, and/or rifles. As this will allow you to take guns off the shelves and hang them on the door, this setup makes more room in your gun safe and offers easy firearm access.
To save money, you can also convert a regular closet door organizer into a firearm door organizer.
Mom! Where did you put my socks?
This isn’t the most elegant or tactical solution, but it certainly helps maximize gun safe space for cheap.
Rifle Rods: the Cheat Code for Organizing Rifles in Your Gun Safe
As you may already know from experience, it’s notoriously difficult to organize rifles. With large stocks and varying lengths, fitting them into your gun safe can be a chore. And when you finally get them somewhat organized, it can also be very difficult to remove them from the safe without messing up the order of the rifles around them. On top of all that, with multiple rifles leaning one on top of another, you end up with a lot of wasted gun safe space.
Rifle rods are great for organizing your gun safe if you find yourself in this situation.
With rifle rods, you first staple a Velcro-like shelf liner to the bottom of your gun safe shelf as seen above. Then, insert the rifle rod (which has hook fabric on the disc area of the rod) into your rifle.
Then, position the rifle where you want to put it in your gun safe, pull up the rifle rod, and secure the hook fabric against the shelf liner.
This method allows you to better organize your gun safe by lining up all your rifles in a neat and orderly fashion.
How to Organize Your Gun Safe with a Handgun Rack
If you have a lot of handguns at home and haven’t tried handgun hangers or gun magnets yet, a handgun rack is another good option.
Lay back, relax…
You can think of this as a dish rack – for your guns. If your handguns are left lying around horizontally on your shelves, your shelf space is not being used efficiently. And if your guns are lying one on top of another, your guns may get scratched as well.
A handgun rack changes that by allowing you to arrange your pistols in an easy to access row, avoiding the clutter of loose pistols left lying around.
Install a pegboard
You may already have a pegboard set up at home to hang up your guns. This same level of organization (and badass display) can also be utilized to organize your gun safe.
Simply install the pegboard on the back section of your safe (or to the door), and you’ll be able to maximize gun safe space by hanging up your guns, equipment, and gun accessories instead of taking up room on the shelves.
