8.5ft Cable Gun Locks Keyed Alike CA DOJ Approved - Pack of 12

In this review of the 8.5' Cable Gun Locks keyed alike pack, the bottom line is simple: it is a practical, no-frills solution for basic firearm and gear safety when you need many locks that use one key. The reviewer found these locks especially useful for organizing a range of firearms and storage points while minimizing key clutter, because the product is sold as a set of 12 and comes keyed alike so one key opens them all. They aim primarily at hunters, shooting ranges, small shops and households that want a DOJ approved physical deterrent.

Key Features

• All Keyed Alike: Having one key for all 12 locks reduces the chance of lost keys and makes daily access simpler for single users or teams.
• CA DOJ Approved: Certification gives confidence that the locks meet state safety standards for firearm storage and handling.
• High-strength construction: The quenched steel ball and sleeve resist sawing and add durability for repeated field or range use.
• Versatile uses: The 8.5' cable length and design work not only for pistols and rifles but also for luggage, safes, doors and bikes when simple cable locking is needed.
• Manufacture quality guaranteed: The maker positions the locks as reliable for routine storage and transport of firearms and gear.

Who It's For

These locks suit hunters, shooting-club members, gun owners who keep multiple firearms in a home or safe, and small businesses that need several identical locks for inventory and storage. The keyed-alike feature is especially useful for anyone responsible for multiple weapons or equipment who wants to carry a single key.

Those who need an ultra-high-security locking system, electronic access control, or certified tamper-proof locks for long-term unattended storage should consider stronger specialized safes or hardened cable systems instead. This product is intended as a safety and compliance device rather than a theft-proof security system.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Cons

• Not a replacement for a heavy-duty safe; it is a deterrent and safety device rather than maximum physical security.

Specifications
