Hornady Security Lock Boxes: Serious Steel, Sized for Anywhere

Not every valuable needs a full-size safe — but it still needs real protection. Hornady® Security's Lock Box line delivers heavy-duty security in a footprint small enough for a nightstand, glovebox, or carry-on, without cutting corners on construction. While competing lock boxes lean on thinner 20-gauge steel, Hornady builds its lineup around 16-gauge steel housing designed to withstand prying and tampering.

The Lock Box Large and Lock Box XL anchor the line as go-anywhere options for a single handgun or a handful of valuables. Both are built on durable 16-gauge steel housings, a smooth-operating steel barrel lock, and two included keys, and both ship with a 4-foot steel security cable rated to withstand up to 1,500 pounds of force, secured through a patented, space-saving cable receiver that keeps the box anchored without eating into usable storage. Inside, premium foam interior cradles and protects contents, with the Large sized for most 4-inch-barrel pistols and some 4-inch revolvers, and the XL stepping up to fit 1911-size pistols and 4-inch revolvers.

For travelers, the TrekLite® Lock Box XXL trades steel for advanced, impact-resistant polycarbonate wrapped in a durable, non-slip rubber over-mold built to survive being checked, thrown in a trunk, or tossed in a pack without adding unnecessary weight. A dual 4-digit TSA lock with 10,000 programmable code combinations keeps access under the owner's control, and the box still ships with a 1,500-lb. rated security cable and patented connector. Inside, there's room for up to two full-sized 1911 handguns, or documents sized up to 8.5" x 11" for anyone who needs to secure paperwork as well as a firearm.

Rounding out the lineup, the Alpha Elite® Lock Box, Dual-Lid Lock Box, Digital Ammo Cabinet, and TrekLite® Lock Box with TSA Combination Lock give owners even more ways to match the box to the job, whether that's a digital keypad for faster access, a dual-lid design for organizing multiple items, or dedicated ammo storage separate from a firearm.

The Hornady Lock Box Large is also California DOJ-approved as a firearm safety device, supporting Project ChildSafe® initiatives for secure, responsible storage.
