Quick Answer: The Tracker Safe TS24 is the best overall pick in the TS-series — 24 long guns, 12-gauge (2.5mm) steel, a 30-minute/1,200°F fire rating, and a choice of mechanical dial, digital, or biometric lock. Tracker Safe is a genuine family-owned manufacturer based in Vancouver, Washington (founded 2008), not a big-box private label — but the exact same TS24-GRY dial-lock model has listed for $1,199 at one retailer and $1,685 at another, so checking the price across two or three stores before buying matters more with this brand than with a nationally price-matched one like Liberty.
“Tracker safe” draws roughly 720 monthly searches, mostly from shoppers who’ve spotted the brand at Home Depot, Lowe’s, or Tractor Supply and want to know if it’s a real company before buying. According to Tracker Safe’s own product listings and multiple authorized dealers, the TS-series spans seven capacity tiers from 8 to 64 long guns, all built on the same 12-gauge steel body and 30-minute/1,200°F fire rating regardless of size. We pulled specs from Tracker Safe’s authorized dealer network and cross-checked pricing against Home Depot, Tractor Supply, and Walmart’s own current listings.

Tracker Safe TS24
- 425 lbs, with a 4.25"-thick composite steel door and a heat-activated door seal that expands under fire conditions — the same core construction across every lock option.
- Only model in the line offered with a biometric fingerprint lock (up to 15 fingerprints) in addition to the standard dial and digital options, for roughly $350 more than the dial/digital versions.
- The exact same TS24-GRY dial-lock SKU has listed for $1,199-$1,203 at Home Depot and a tactical-gear retailer, but $1,599-$1,685 at Tractor Supply and an independent dealer — confirm the current price at more than one store before buying.

Tracker Safe TS45
- The most expensive model in the TS-series, but still well under the price of a comparable 45-gun safe from Browning ProSteel or AMSEC.
- Same fire rating as every other TS model — the jump in price buys capacity and steel, not better fire protection, which is worth knowing before assuming "more expensive" means "safer."
Tracker Safe TS08
- Smallest capacity in the line, but priced closer to the mid-tier TS14 than to a true budget cabinet — Tracker Safe doesn't chase the sub-$500 tier the way Stack-On or Union Safe Company do.
- Same 12-gauge steel and fire rating as the rest of the lineup, so you're paying for brand and build quality at this size, not cutting corners to hit a low price.
The honesty check: a real manufacturer, but a wide retail price spread
Tracker Safe LLC is a family-owned, independent safe manufacturer based in Vancouver, Washington, founded in 2008 — a genuinely different story from several brands covered elsewhere on this site. Union Safe Company (Harbor Freight), Gettysburg (Rural King), and Redfield (Academy) are all private-label house names built for one retailer by an overseas contract manufacturer. Tracker Safe sells direct through its own site and wholesales the identical TS-series models to Home Depot, Lowe’s, Tractor Supply, and Walmart — it’s a real company with its own track record, not a store’s in-house label wearing a brand-sounding name.
That independence has a tradeoff, though: without a large retailer enforcing consistent pricing or an active price-match program, the same exact SKU can vary enormously by store. The TS24-GRY dial-lock model has listed for as little as $1,199-$1,203 at Home Depot and a tactical-gear retailer, and as much as $1,599-$1,685 at Tractor Supply and an independent safe dealer — a roughly 35-40% spread for the identical safe. Compare that to Liberty or Fort Knox, where heavier retailer competition and MAP pricing keep the spread much tighter. If you’re shopping Tracker Safe, check the exact model number (not just “Tracker Safe TS24”) across two or three retailers before buying.
One thing in Tracker Safe’s favor: we found no CPSC recall on record for the brand as of this writing. That’s a cleaner safety history than several brands covered on this site — Awesafe’s 2024 biometric-lock recall (~60,000 units), Harbor Freight’s 2018 Union Safe Company recall (~25,000 units), Academy’s 2024 Redfield recall (~6,100 units), and a 2023 recall covering Fortress, Cabela’s, and Gettysburg biometric safes (~61,000 units, one reported death) all have documented CPSC actions that Tracker Safe doesn’t share.
Which Tracker Safe model fits you
Buy the TS24 if you want the line’s sweet spot of capacity, price, and lock flexibility — it’s the only model with a biometric option. Step up to the TS45 if 24 guns isn’t enough room and you’re comfortable paying roughly double for the extra capacity at the same fire rating. Start with the TS08 if you’re protecting a small handful of long guns and don’t need room to grow. Whichever model you pick, get the current price from at least two retailers first — Tracker Safe’s retail spread is wide enough that the “deal” at one store can be the worst price available elsewhere.

The bottom line
Tracker Safe is a real, independent manufacturer — not a retailer’s house label — and the TS-series delivers consistent 12-gauge steel and a 30-minute fire rating across every capacity tier. The catch is price consistency, not build quality: the same TS24 model can cost 35-40% more at one store than another, so compare the exact SKU across retailers before you buy. For most buyers, the TS24 is the right starting point, with the lock-type choice (dial, digital, or biometric) mattering more to day-to-day use than which retailer you order from.
