Frequently Asked Questions
Why does Door Gunner store your firearm behind the door?
Every homeowner has to decide for themselves what they would do if a threat approaches or enters their home. Multiple studies have shown that 64% of the people surveyed would choose to barricade in place and call 911. The other 36% would choose to leave their bedroom and investigate. In either scenario, you must get to the door, to either lock and wait or to go through and investigate. For these reasons, storing your firearm behind the door seems to make sense.
You will also find that the doorway can always be identified even in the darkest conditions. Therefore, if you can get to the doorway and get one hand on the door handle, you can easily find the firearm with the other hand. Storing the firearm behind the door gives you the best of both worlds, it is visually out of sight most of the time, but easily and reliably found even in the dark when you need it in a hurry.
What if you have small children in your home?
Finding the right balance of rapid firearm access in case of an emergency situation and access control to your firearm is a very personal decision. Door Gunner was created to give you multiple options that are easily changeable as your situation changes. Door Gunner is both easily installed and not permanent. At any time, you can remove it or change it when your situation changes either permanently or just temporarily.
Door Gunner utilizes the ability to install on any hinge on your door to provide you with vertical reach limitations for basic access control. From there you can select a rubber coated magnet to get the most rapid access, all the way to an security code required locked metal vault to get the highest level of access control. Door Gunner has several options in between those two to help you find your specific solution.
No one can tell you what firearm storage solution is right for you, but with Door Gunner, we give you options to make your own customizable solution that is right for you today and in the future.
Can’t someone just pull the hinge pin and steal the firearm?
Yes, that is correct. When choosing to have a firearm for home protection, you must balance the possibility of theft with the benefit of rapid access to a firearm left out of secure locked storage.
Most firearm owners have multiple firearms strategically placed around the house as a method of home protection. This method exposes all of the firearms to the possibility of theft in the event of a break in. With Door Gunner’s patented Quick Click Docking Station, you can have multiple docking stations around the house instead of multiple firearms. Your Door Gunner can easily and quickly move with you around your house throughout the day, wherever you are in your home, your Door Gunner goes with you and stores your firearm with a consistent location behind the door in any room in your house. In a crisis situation, you don’t have to think about where your firearm is, it’s in the same reliable place in every location.
So now there is no longer a need to have multiple unsecured firearms around your house, all of the others can all be safely locked up to prevent theft. You can even take your one firearm in your Door Gunner with you as your concealed carry and not have any firearms exposed to possible theft.
