Mesa MGL24E Gun Safe | 24 Gun Capacity | 30 Minute Fire Rating

The Mesa MGL24E is a 24-gun capacity rifle safe built for hunters, collectors, and security-conscious homeowners who need organized, secure long-gun storage with the convenience of electronic lock access. Constructed entirely from 12-gauge solid steel with no plastic components in the body or door, the MGL24E is engineered to withstand both physical attack and fire. At 506 lbs and 16.5 cubic feet of interior space, it is a serious full-size installation well suited for a dedicated safe room, garage, or reinforced closet. Its narrower width relative to its height makes it a practical fit in spaces where a wider safe would not clear. The body and door are built from high-strength unitized 12-gauge steel, and the lock mechanism is shielded by a drill-resistant hard plate with a spring-loaded relocker to prevent attack on both the lock and handle. Six 3/4" diameter chrome-plated solid steel locking bolts resist pry attacks on the door, and heavy-duty solid steel hinges provide smooth operation while maintaining structural integrity. The safe carries a 30-minute fire rating tested at temperatures up to 1,200°F, with a heat-activated door seal that expands on contact to block smoke and gases. A factory drop test from 2 stories confirms the door does not open on impact, which matters if the safe were to fall through a floor during a fire emergency. Inside, the fully carpeted interior accommodates up to 24 rifles in the standard Universal Gun Racks configuration, with a pocket door organizer for handguns, accessories, and smaller items. An interior power outlet strip with 3 electrical sockets and 2 USB ports is built in with the power cord included. The battery-operated electronic lock offers a key override system for backup access, making it easy to get in if the batteries run low. Four pre-drilled anchor holes allow for secure floor mounting. The MGL24E is also available in an All Shelves configuration for those who need adjustable shelf storage rather than dedicated long-gun racks. Features Construction & Build Quality 12-gauge all-steel construction: High-strength unitized steel body and door with no plastic components anywhere in the safe. Six 3/4" chrome-plated solid steel locking bolts: Resist pry attacks and keep the door tightly secured during a forced entry attempt. Drill-resistant hard plate with spring-loaded relocker: Protects the lock and handle area from direct drilling and impact attacks.

Pre-drilled anchor holes: Four anchor holes are factory-drilled into the base for secure floor mounting; anchor kit (5" x 5/8") included. Bolt detent: Prevents damage to the safe body and bolt-work caused by accidental door closure with bolts extended. 2-story impact rating: Factory tested by dropping the safe from 2 stories to confirm the door does not open on impact, simulating a fall through floors during a fire. Fire Protection 30-minute fire rating: Factory tested at exterior temperatures up to 1,200°F to protect contents during a fire emergency. Heat-activated door seal: Expands on contact with heat to seal the door gap and block smoke and gases from entering the interior.

Storage & Usability 24-rifle capacity: Standard Universal Gun Racks configuration securely stores up to 24 long guns including rifles, shotguns, and similar firearms.
