What is Instant Access IPS?
Storing a weapon for home defense has always been a trade-off between safety and accessibility...until now. With Instant Access IPS (In Plain Sight), you no longer have to choose between securing your weapon and being able to access it quickly in an emergency.

Our security cabinets offer a secure, locked enclosure for you to store your tactical home defense weapons or handguns. They can be accessed quickly with a simple, user programmable, 3-8 digit code. You don't even have to sacrifice your home decor, as our cabinets rest behind a tasteful piece of artwork.
Why are we conducting this campaign?
Launching a new product is never easy. There are startup costs, production minimums, volume pricing agreements, and numerous other barriers to bringing a new product to market. We've been making and selling our tactical weapons "in-wall" cabinet for almost a year and a half.

But a number of our supporters either do not own their own homes or are otherwise not in a position to install one of our in-wall solutions. So we have developed a pistol cabinet that mounts on the wall rather than in the wall. With the Pistol Cabinet, anyone who needs to safely secure their handgun but still have almost immediate access to it has that ability. Whether you are a renter or just don't want to cut into your drywall, the Pistol Cabinet offers a great solution. Using drywall screws and drywall anchors, the Pistol Cabinet installs in just a few minutes.

But in order to make the Pistol Cabinet more affordable, we need to have a large first production run. That's where you come in. Whether you are just donating, buying some of our awesome swag, or pre-purchasing a cabinet (or two or three), you are helping to make our new product a reality. Without your help, this product does not exist.
How they work
The unit uses 8 AA batteries to power a user programmable micro-controller. Press the grey button on the printed circuit board and input your customized 3-8 digit code. One beep confirms that your code has been accepted (two beeps indicates your code is either too long or too short). Now every time you enter your code, the electronic solenoid locks release and the cabinet opens. Type in the wrong code and you will hear two beeps. The electronic solenoid locks are self-retracting, so no need to input the code to close the unit. There is a keyed override should the electronics fail or the batteries run down. Typical battery life is greater than one year under normal usage.

Are there size considerations?
Yes. While the unit has been designed to accommodate most semi-automatic handguns, some are just too long or too wide (think Desert Eagle). Max length is about 8 3/4 inches. Max height is about 9 inches. Max width is 1 9/16 inches. The non-marring pins are adjustable laterally to provide a custom fit for most pistols. [Note: the depth restriction eliminates many revolvers so please measure yours before ordering]

Where are we with our new product?
We have completely designed the pistol cabinet
in 3D CAD software (Solidworks). We are
fully prototyped and have refined the design to its final form. We have numerous manufacturing agreements
already in place. Once we reach our funding goal we will reach out to our
suppliers and execute our volume pricing purchase options and begin assembly. With your help, and ONLY with your help, we
will bring this innovative weapons storage solutions to responsible gun owners
all across the country.
So what?
Instant Access IPS is more than just a product. It's a movement. We want everyone to have the option to protect their homes with an easily accessible home defense weapon...without having to compromise the safety of their loved ones. By backing Instant Access IPS, you're helping to create a world with safer homes and a culture of responsible gun ownership.
