SecureIt Fast Box 47D review

The Fast Box 47D does one narrow job well. It is a welded 16-gauge steel drawer, 47 inches long and 6.5 inches tall, that fits under a bed or on a closet floor and holds one long gun up to 44 inches with a handgun beside it. A backlit keypad, a fingerprint scanner and a key override open it. At $399 on November 13, 2026 (regular price $479) it is the cheapest long-gun storage we rank, and it scores 8.9/10 thanks to that price, three ways in, free shipping and SecureIt's 90-day return window. It claims no fire rating and no UL or DOJ approval. Think of it as the locked version of "under the bed", which is a real improvement on the unlocked one.

It is a practical one, on two conditions: the box is locked and it is fixed to something. A drawer you can reach from the mattress is fast for you, and a lock that needs your finger or your code keeps it slow for a child. Both the American Academy of Pediatrics and Project ChildSafe put locked storage at the top of their advice for homes with firearms.

The second condition is the anchor. The Fast Box has pre-drilled holes; use them, into the floor or the bed frame. SecureIt also sold an "Under The Bed Kit" accessory for a few dollars on the day we looked. Without an anchor, a 60 lb box is luggage.

SecureIt gives an interior of 4 by 44.5 by 10 inches and a limit of one long gun up to 44 inches, plus handguns and accessories. That covers most pump shotguns and carbines. Measure yours from muzzle to butt, with whatever is mounted on it; a tall optic is the likely problem in a 4-inch drawer.

It sits No. 2 of 4 in our budget gun safe ranking and No. 1 of 3 in the apartment list. If you need more than one long gun to hand, it is the wrong tool, and the Agile 52 is the next step.

The obvious rival in concept is the Vaultek RS500i, a slim upright safe with app alerts. It holds up to five rifles and costs $1,301 more. The Fast Box hides better, costs a quarter of the price and comes with the longer return window; the Vaultek stores more and tells your phone when someone touches it.

SecureIt Fast Box 47D vs Vaultek RS500i lays the two out. For most people who want one long gun secured near the bed, the cheaper box is enough.

SecureIt lists the welded steel drawer unit with its lock and a foam pad. Anchoring hardware is not in the list. The lock runs on batteries; check which ones before the box arrives, as the page we read did not name them.

Slide it where it will live, check that the drawer opens fully, then anchor it through the pre-drilled holes. Keep it horizontal, as SecureIt instructs. Enroll two fingers from each hand, set a code only the adults know and put the override key somewhere a child will not look. Then practice opening it in the dark a few times.

Storage laws differ from state to state: our guide to California DOJ approved gun safes shows what one state asks for. This is not legal advice.

Almost none: SecureIt's banner promises free shipping on carts over $199 (some exclusions apply), and the sale price was $80 under the regular $479 when we checked. Budget anchor bolts or the under-bed kit, and batteries. A return within 90 days is at your shipping cost.

Each criterion is marked from what SecureIt publishes; a blank gets the lowest mark. Scales and weights are on our methodology page.
