Hell, I'd need about 8-10 of those! I just keep mine in .30 & .50 cal steel ammo cans that are on a pallet on my basement floor. Each can has a few dessicant packs that are changed out as needed. I would like to be able to hide them better though.
I bought one. Added weather stripping to the inside door frame. And two rechargeable dehumidifiers. What surprised me was it as made in Mexico. And it actually seamed heavier duty than their older made in USA models.
Bought them off of Amazon. Bought a light from Harbor Freight that is battery operated and has a magnetic on the back for $4. Stuck it to the top inside. I also cut up some aluminum tape into small pieces to cover some of the holes.
Thats a quick fix. I bought three six foot tall school lockers for my storage problem. They have the same locking set up as stack on's, just not as pretty. I bolted them together and attatched them to the wall high enough to store 50 cal ammo cans underneath.
@@HuskerHunting I don't put ammo cans on the inside because of the weight, just one row underneith. The inside is a blank slate for whatever you want , shelves, hooks.
Well if one has a LOT OF ammo it’s recommended that one purchases a dedicated magazine for safety especially if you reload and keep large quantities of powder on hand. Do not mix powder and primers in the same containers, if anything they must be in separate containers with the primers stored out and away from the house. Also I might add that if your containers are in the basement, you might want to raise the cabinets off of the floor by a few inches. Moisture can be a problem. Invest in some ammo cans and store them in the cabinets. I had a Steelcase office closet I bought used from a surplus dealer and I locked my ammo cans in this cabinet. They were in airtight cans and neatly labeled so I know exactly what in each can.
That would be a handy way to store them on the shelves as well. The cabinets are 21" wide and 16" deep, so you'd be able to store 3 across on the .50 cal (6" wide) and 5 across on the .30 cal (3.75" wide). You would probably fit some more if you turn one sideways up front, or double-stack.
@@HuskerHuntingthx for that. Now I know what I’m asking for at birthday. Ammo can’t be insured so it’s important to do everything possible to keep safe. It’s value is way beyond the gun
The hinge doesn’t concern me. I have a mixture of dial/kepad safes. Exposed and unexposed hinged cabinets. They’re all secured to the floor and wall. There’s still 4 points of contact on the inside. A lock is only a deterrent for the unmotivated. The 18 gun 21 in. x 18 in. x 55 in. cabinets are my personal favorites
I've been doing that for years (I have some .22LR that dates back to 2000) & never thought anything of it until I went to the range a couple months ago & the guy checking me in said he'd never seen anyone date their ammo before. And here I thought everyone with more than a few thousand did it.
Thanks for the info. Ive been looking for a place to store my ammo and something like this would work for my needs. Its a bit more than id like to spend but the layout and function is what im looking for. definitely an option to consider if i find a good deal.
Thank you. It works well for the space and is nice to have a dedicated one for that area. It's a Performax 72"x24" Model M72WB. You can get it at Menards for around $300 (link below). Thanks for watching! www.menards.com/main/tools/tool-storage/workbenches/performax-reg-72-x-24-workbench-with-pegboard/m72wb/p-7919224473547394-c-19492.htm
I use mine as a grab and go cabinet for the family for range trips. Top shelf is rimfire middle is handgun and bottom shelf is rifle/shells and they toss small range bags in the bottom. Keeps them out of my main storage area and lets me inventory easier, this thing can hold a lot of ammo and mags.
I'm assuming you go through this ammo quickly and are not worried about the effects of temperature and humidity. All of my ammo (admittedly not even a fraction of what you have) is stored either in steel ammo cans in my basement (off the floor) or in my gun safe. But my ammo probably has a shelf life easily greater than 10 years because of this.
Some calibers more than others. These cabinets are in a climate controlled building, and I have a Hornady rechargeable dehumidifier in each ammo cabinet as well. I've considered using ammo cans inside the cabinet to help seal them up more and increase longevity. Thanks for watching!

If it’s in your house that’s temperature controlled there isn’t much to worry about. High humidity is a real concern and drastic temp changes can be problematic. I have some ammo that I pulled from my father’s garage a few years ago when he passed that were in bags with receipts from 82 and shot with no issues. This is northern Illinois weather so humidity is only bad a few weeks outta the year but it gets cold in the winter.
Temp not so much, humidity is not good for ammo, get a dehumidifier or silica gel pack to put in ammo cans, Amazon has a good setup with metal tins and the silica gel can be reheated and dried for continuous use.
For me it boiled down to two things. Floor space - I can fit a lot of ammo vertically in these without having to play ammo can Jenga. Visibility - I like to be able to easily see what I’ve got at a glance. If I’m storing a lot of a single caliber it makes sense to stack ammo cans, but with a variety of calibers this is the solution that worked best for me. Thanks for watching!
I can't justify the cost for sheet metal cabinets that have absolutely zero protection against anyone over the age of 12. You could make a wood rack and slap a door on it cheaper that would be larger and just as "secure" for less money. Sure the idea looks cute on video but it's just not practical and offers no real security that a plain screwdriver can't over come. Hell I'll bet some guys could boot stomp that door hard enough to bend it enough to unlock it LOL. With today's tight budgets and high prices these are not sound options for most gun owners.
Many (even in the comments) consider that to be an inadequate supply of ammo 😂. With lots of different calibers and various loads within those calibers it doesn't take long to start piling up.
Hi, my wife tells me a fire department may let your structure burn until ammo has stopped cooking off. Storage in climate control space, basement is probably best.
@@Salty_Balls Her boyfriend the fireman and his buddy the cop tells me that I should only have one extra loaded magazine in the house and the rest should be in my bunker where it’s cool, dry and locked away from children.

Those are nice. I’d like to see how many 50/30cal ammo cans they hold cause I keep mine canned from humidity or possibly tornado damage etc.

I built a platform for mine to get them up off the floor no more getting on my knees to see what's in the bottom.
I agree, that bottom shelf goes back a LONG ways! 😂

I’m not sure why more stores aren’t carrying these on the floor.
Do these have any fire ratings? Im guessing not.
No, they are just a steel storage cabinet.
Is it a basic cabinet or fireproof and insulated
They’re just a basic steel cabinet.
Is temperature something to consider when storing ammo?
Yes, ideally a cool dry place is best. Humidity and condensation would be the main concerns. Great question!
