Sun Welding has been building gun safes in Bakersfield, California since 1972, making them one of the longest-running American gun safe manufacturers in business. Their safes are built with heavy-gauge American steel, California-compliant locking mechanisms, and fire protection ratings that stand up to independent testing. For buyers who want American manufacturing at the premium tier without paying for a commercial vault they don't need, Sun Welding is one of the best options in the market.
Sun Welding offers customization options that most brands don't: custom exterior colors, interior configurations, and sizing options that let you build a safe around your collection rather than fitting your collection into a standard box.
