The mirror gun safe is not as effective as the hidden gun safe because most of the gun safes with mirror are too thick for a regular mirror so you can notice that there is a hidden storage behind the glass. That is why most mirror gun safes come with the lock and the key and they do act like a gun safe and not gun cabinet which is a story with the hidden gun safes & cabinets.
The good think about gun safe mirrors is that there are models that give you the opportunity to build them in-the-wall. The bad side is that you have to hire a contractor for that, but the good thing is that you will only have a mirror on the wall and the entire gun safe will be in the wall. That means it would be hard to notice that the mirror is not just an ordinary mirror.
That doesn’t mean you can’t use a mirror gun safe to safely store your firearms in plain sight, it just means that a gun safe with a mirror has 2 purposes. The first, the main purpose is to keep your belongings in a form of long guns and handguns safe and the second purpose is to provide you a mirror. Although they aren’t as safe as the regular gun safe, they provide a level of security for your firearms so you don’t have to worry about someone breaking into your home and stealing them.
If a mirror wall gun safe is made from good quality materials it will provide you all the security you need and it will look good in your home or your office. So, if you are looking for a hidden gun safe and you want it to be the one with the mirror, read my reviews below and find which one suits you best.
Top 3 Mirror Gun Safes
In-Wall Hidden Mirror Gun Safe
The first mirror gun safe I want to share with you is the in-wall gun cabinet that has two options for installation. You can hang it on the wall and you can install it inside of the wall. That means you can choose one of those two options and act accordingly to your decision. When you look at the interior of the safe you can see that it can fit a 2-3 single barrel rifles but they can’t have scopes. There is one shelf at the top of the safe but you can remove it if you want to put longer guns in the safe.
The mirror gun safe uses the traditional lock and key method to keep your firearms secure. That method you can use if you decided to hang the safe on the wall, but if you decided to install it in the wall you will have to install a magnetic lock because the keyhole is on the side of the safe. This concealment wall mirror is the best option for rifles.
