Not enough room in the gun safe? Lockdown might have a solution.
The company’s brand-new Vault Doors are user-installable and can turn virtually any room into a vault. Like many of Lockdown’s products, the Vault also monitors the room for temperature, humidity, and tampering, and connects to user’s phones via the Lockdown Logic app.
We caught up with company rep Ronnelle Franklin, who told us about all of Lockdown’s new smart products.
Lockdown is looking to take smart home technology and apply it to the gun storage world. That starts with the Puck. The Puck can monitor any room or compartment for temperature and humidity, and allows users to set safe ranges for both measurements. When the room deviates from that safe range, the Puck will send an alert to the user’s phone through Lockdown’s Logic app.
When users receive an alert, they can activate a dehumidifier or any other device via the Smart Plug. The Smart Plug works between a wall outlet and a device and allows users to turn the device on by sending a message to the Puck through the Logic app.
The Puck also monitors for vibration, so users can know if their safe or In Plain Sight shelf is being tampered with.
The Puck will be available March 1 for $109.99, and the Smart Plug will be available at the end of March for $27.99.

While the Puck and the Smart Plug are tailor-made for securing firearms, these types of smart home devices have been around for several years now. The real attention-getter at the Lockdown booth was the Lockdown Vault Door.
The Vault Door can be installed into an existing door frame (Lockdown plans to release several sizes) and can monitor for the same factors as the Puck. It can tell users when the door is open and communicate with Smart Plugs to turn on dehumidifiers, etc.
But for users who worry about connecting the Vault Door to the app via wireless internet, the door can also be used without any outside connections. Franklin also told us that the app never knows the user’s password, so even if the app is connected to the door, hackers have no way of learning a user’s code.
The steel door sits in a steel frame and is secured via steel bolts that go up and down the length of the door. The door includes a manual open lever on the inside, so users don’t need to worry about being locked in.
The door connects to the house’s main power, but if the power goes out, the door runs via a battery backup. The door will also include a tertiary power supply, but Lockdown engineers are still working on that technology.
Lockdown plans to release the Vault Door sometime this summer. MSRP will be between $1,500 and $1,800, depending on size and fire rating.
