Homak is a company that's been around for 57 years, well known for their tools and tool organizational products. What they're also famous for is their gun storage equipment, as well as gun safety accessories, like trigger locks. Homak gun safes are a very cheap alternative for gun storage. Although the majority of their long gun units are actually gun cabinets, not safes, they're still a reasonable option for keeping guns out of the hands of children, and less-than-motivated thieves.
What you can expect out of a standalone Homak gun cabinet is a storage unit with a capacity of anywhere from 6 to 12 rifles and shotguns, locked through keyed entry, surrounded by glorified sheet metal (even though they're oddly advertised at 7/8" inch steel), with a few shelves and plastic bins included. They're almost 60 inches tall, and anywhere from 70 to 110 lbs empty. That said, a seasoned burglar would have no trouble cutting, prying, drilling, or lifting one of these things. You children, however, would have quite a time trying to break in. Homak offers their standalone cabinets in a corner safe option as well.
Homak also sells wall gun safes. They're keyed entry, and they don't come available in biometric or keypad design, so you may want to reconsider if ultra-quick access is at the top of your priorities. Other than that though, they're decent wall safes. They fit in between your studs, have a gun capacity of three long guns, and weigh around 50 lbs, all for just a little over 0.
The final type of Homak gun safes is their line of pistol boxes. Homak offers very inexpensive personal pistol safes for as low as on sale. Unlike their gun cabinets and wall safes, Homak makes these keyless entry, but almost to a fault. There isn't a backup key included, so if there's a mechanical issue, you may just have to pry it open. Nevertheless, they're incredibly cheap relative to the competition, and you shouldn't have any problems keeping your firearms away from the casual passerby.
As long as you know what to expect, Homak makes a very fine product. They're inexpensive, they serve the purpose as advertised by the manufacturer, and they're a great starter storage unit. Just be weary of false advertising - Homak gun safes will not stand up to a serious break in attempt. For better protection, you'll just have to spend a little more money.
