Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe Review

Tracker Safe is relatively new to the safe industry only being around since 2008. They have many online partnerships through Home Depot, Tractor Supply, Wal-Mart and other online retailers. Not uncommon with most manufacturers these days, they don’t actually manufacture anything at all but import all of their product from AIPU safe in China. With that said, they use a high quality SecuRam Basic UL approved high security electronic lock and thick steel construction in their safes. In this Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe Review, I will help you understand why its a very secure product and an excellent choice for the price.

Lock – Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe

First and always most important for any safe is its lock. Included in the price of the Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe is the SecuRam UL Rated BackLit high security electronic lock. SecuRam is a long standing and very reliable brand and one of the three major lock companies I recommend with the other two being NL and S&G. The BackLit keypad is a huge upgrade from the TopLit used on the USA and Centurion models because it is full stainless steel construction compared to the ABS plastic. This makes the keypad significantly more durable and long lasting.

They also vastly improved the way the 9 volt battery goes in and out by utilizing an interlocking plastic tray. Now you don’t have to slide the entire keypad up to change the battery, it’s a way better design. This lock features a 6 digit electronic code that is easy to program to your own custom combination. The lock opens 10,000+ times on just one battery.

Hard Plate and Re-Locker

The lock is also protected by both a hard plate and internal spring-loaded re-locker. The Hard plate is a piece of hardened steel that absolutely destroys drill bits. In addition, the internal re-locker fires if the lock is punched through securing the bolts in place. Both of these are essential security features and included on this safe.

Security – Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe

The Tracker TS22 Gun Safe is built to standard gun safe construction with one layer of steel and multiple layers of gypsum fire board. It features a 12 gauge steel door and body. This is substantially thicker and better than the 14 gauge options in this price range. In addition, they include 4-way bolt work with 1″ solid steel locking bolts. Most options in this price range only feature 2-way locking bolts so this safe is both constructed with thick steel and offers excellent pry-resistance with the bolt work covering all four sides.

It exceeds the CA DOJ Gun Safe requirements and overall is significantly more secure than entry level safes.

Fire Rating – Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe

The Tracker TS22 22-Gun Fire-Resistant Electronic Lock Gun Safe comes with a 30 minute fire rating at 1200 degrees. They also use an Intumescent Fire seal. This seal expands to 7 times their size during a fire to keep smoke and heat out.

Keep in mind, this is a factory test and not certified by an independent testing agency like ETL.

Style and Function

The Tracker TS22 Gun Safe comes in a textured gray powder coat finish. Hardware includes a chrome L-Shaped Drop Down Handle and chrome keypad. This model does not come with a door panel organizer or electrical outlet included.

Finally, the interior includes a gun rack with adjustable or removable shelf, all upholstered in a high quality gray carpeting.

Warranty

Tracker Gun Safes come with a lifetime warranty on fire, break-in and attempted break-in. In addition, they cover the cost of all freight to and from the factory as well. They also provide a 1 year parts and labor warranty on all components of the safe where they will pay for the locksmith or safe technician to come to the safes location and repair on site. All in all, this is an excellent warranty and Tracker is a reliable and trustworthy company to work with.

The Bottom Line

Would I buy this Tracker Gun Safe for my firearms and valuables. Yes, I definitely would as it is a good quality safe at an excellent price. With the 12 gauge steel door and body and UL rated high security lock, this entry level gun safe blows away the competition at this price point.
