Best in class innovation

Wireless phone charger and USB ports

Simply drop, charge and go. Yes, it is that easy to wirelessly charge your phone with the Vaultek Smart Station. No other gun safe on the market today has this incredibly innovative feature.

If your phone does not have the ability to charge wirelessly, simply plug it into one of the USB/USB-C charging ports on the back of the safe and you are good to go!

The Smart Station is built to center around your life and we love the charging station functionality. Instead of your gun safe being relegated to the back of a closet somewhere, the Smart Station can not only sit out in the open, but it comes with these types of additional functions that make it useful way beyond just safely storing your firearms.
