Golden Gate Elite Car gun safe

Yes. Every US passenger vehicle built since model year 2003 has the steel child-seat anchors it clips to. It’s federal law. Driving something older, or want it where there are no anchors? Our Universal Anchor Adapter gives it the same steel latch points.

No tools, no drilling, no mods. It clicks into the same anchors a child seat uses. About fifteen seconds in, about fifteen seconds out.

The release is inside the safe. To take it out of the car you have to unlock it and open it first. No key, code or fingerprint, no removal.

Maybe. A safe doesn’t stop a rock. What it does is turn a sixty-second payday into a broken window and nothing to show for it. Glass is a few hundred dollars. A pistol, a laptop or a passport the week of your trip is a different kind of day.

They can know exactly what it is. It’s still steel, locked to welded steel, and it opens from the inside. Knowing where the bank vault is has never been the hard part.

Open it, press the release inside, lift it out. About fifteen seconds. It clicks into your next car the same way, and it’s light enough to carry in one hand.

Not on the BoostedSafe or the Golden Gate. Those only look like booster seats. The Mini is built as a real booster with a locked compartment inside, and its certification is in progress.

Then we replace it, free. That’s the break-in guarantee. Power tools and a lot of time beat every safe ever made, which is why we cover it instead of pretending.

It’s a lot for a box on a cable. It’s cheap for the only one locked to the car, and you can split it. It also costs less than the laptop, the pistol, or the passport the week of your trip.

Do that when you can. This is for the courthouse, the stadium, the gym, the trailhead, the school, the flight: everywhere the sign on the door says no and the trunk release is a button on the dash.

Then you have a stolen car, and that’s what insurance is for. Your safe is still locked, still latched to a car with a plate number, and still covered by the break-in replacement.

That’s a toolbox, ten minutes and a lot of noise in a parking lot. Smash-and-grabs last under a minute. And they’d still be carrying a locked steel box.

Fifteen seconds and it’s in the trunk. If your back seat is full every single day, this isn’t your safe, and we’d rather tell you now.

Good. Keep doing that. This is for the places you legally can’t: federal buildings, schools, stadiums, some employers. One customer told us he carries more often now, because he always has somewhere legal to put it.

The safe itself isn’t a signal blocker. The Faraday bag that comes free with the Elite is. Drop your fob in it and relay thieves get nothing.

No, and we won’t pretend. It’s a theft safe. Don’t leave batteries or anything heat-sensitive in a closed car in August, safe or no safe.

It’s a locked steel container attached to the vehicle, which is what most state transport laws ask for. The Golden Gate Elite is California DOJ certified. Store firearms unloaded and check your own state’s rules.

Yes. They’re verified buyers on Loox, we reply to nearly every one, and the ad comments on this page are copied word for word. One commenter got accused of being a bot, so he posted a photo of his safe and his NRA instructor credentials.

We’re at gun shows and in select safe dealers. Easier: buy it, put it in your car for 30 days, and send it back if you don’t love it.

You can. We did. Do not recommend. Video coming.

Yes. Golden Gate Elite meets California's firearm storage requirements.

It's built from 12-gauge steel instead of 16-gauge, about twice the weight, and it carries California DOJ certification. The cover, the anchors and the three ways to open it stay the same.

Yes, if the new vehicle has compatible anchors. Check fit first — it weighs about twice as much as the standard Elite.
