Is the SecureIt Agile 52 worth buying?
The Agile 52 solves the problem a 500 lb safe creates: you can't get one up the stairs, and you can't take it with you when the lease ends. This is a 115 lb steel cabinet that assembles in minutes, bolts to the floor or the wall and opens with a fingerprint, a code or a key. SecureIt sells it for $699 on November 13, 2026 (regular price $799), ships it free and takes it back for 90 days. It scores 8.1/10 because the page states no steel gauge, no fire rating and no UL or California DOJ line. It is a lock between your long guns and everyone else in the home. It is not a fire safe, and it doesn't claim to be.
Buy it if
- You rent, live upstairs or move often
- Quick access matters to you, and so does keeping children out
- You own six long guns or fewer and don't plan to double that
Skip it if
- You want fire protection: for $130 more, the Liberty Centurion 24 claims 40 minutes
- You only need one rifle within reach: the SecureIt Fast Box 47D is $399
Is a 115 lb cabinet secure enough?
It depends on what you are securing against. Against a child, a teenager, a guest or a quick walk-through theft, a bolted steel cabinet with a real lock does the job, and it does it in homes where a heavy safe is not an option. Against someone with tools and time, weight and steel thickness are what count, and this cabinet has neither.
That is why it leads no ranking on steel and sits No. 2 of 3 in our gun safe for apartment ranking. Our guide to the difference between a gun cabinet and a gun safe draws the line plainly.
Does "6 long guns" mean six?
For once, yes. SecureIt calls it "true capacity": six long guns up to 48.25 inches, each held by a cradle on the back panel and a base under the stock, with space around the optics. Nothing leans on anything else, and each gun lifts straight out.
Compare that with the usual brochure math, where a "24-gun" safe holds 14 on a good day. If your collection is small and scoped, an honest six can be more useful than a crowded twelve. The interior is 51.87 inches tall, 18.5 wide and 12.25 deep.
How good is the fingerprint lock?
It gives you three ways in, which is the point. The keypad has six buttons and a capacitive fingerprint scanner; it stores up to 30 fingerprints and three codes of 3 to 12 digits. Two override keys cover a dead battery, and a USB-C port takes external power.
Enroll the same finger several times, at different angles: that is common advice for any fingerprint reader. The lock earns the Agile its place in the biometric gun safe ranking. If you want app alerts as well, SecureIt Agile 52 vs Vaultek RS500i shows what they cost.

What's in the box?
SecureIt lists the CradleGrid back panel, six cradles, three stock bases, two override keys and the 10 mm wrench used for assembly. The door can be hung to open left or right. Mounting hardware for the floor or wall is not included.
How do you set it up?
It arrives flat and assembles in minutes with the included wrench, per SecureIt. Pick the door side first. Then anchor it through the pre-drilled holes to the floor or to wall studs; buy the bolts for your surface, since none are supplied. Enroll your fingerprints, set a code, and hide the override keys somewhere other than on top of the cabinet.
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.
What does it really cost?
Few: shipping is free. Buy anchor bolts, batteries and, if you return it, the return shipping, which SecureIt's 90-day guarantee leaves to you. The $699 is a sale price against a regular $799, so check it on the day.
What do we like, and what should you know?
- 115 lb per SecureIt's spec table: it goes up a staircase and into a closet
- Fingerprint scanner (30 prints), keypad (3 codes) and 2 override keys
- Six long guns up to 48.25 in, counted with room around each one
- Free shipping and a 90-day "Buy-It-Back" guarantee
- Lifetime warranty on materials and workmanship; stackable with a second unit
The catch: SecureIt's page gives no steel gauge, no fire rating and no UL or DOJ statement for the Agile 52, so three of our criteria score as unstated. A light cabinet resists a child and a casual thief; it is not built to resist tools or heat, and you must bolt it down or it can simply be carried off. The electronic lock is covered for 2 years, not for life. The weight is printed two ways: 115 lb in the spec table, 105 lb in the description.
