The SecureIt Agile Pro 52.

Maybe you’re not a gun nut and only have a few rifles. Or, maybe you are a collector and are tired of rummaging through a huge safe to find your favorites. Whatever the case, the Agile Pro 52 from SecureIt is perfectly sized to hold six rifles without taking up too much floor space. The patented CradleGrid Technology also allows you to set up your safe’s interior in the way you need it most.

Constructed of heavy-duty 16-gauge steel on the door, back wall, top, and bottom, and 17-gauge steel on the sidewalls, the Agile Pro 52 confidently prevents unauthorized access. Additionally, to prevent your safe from walking away, the bottom and back wall include pre-drilled holes. This allows you to mount the safe to the floor or wall for an additional layer of security.

The pre-drilled holes also accommodate a mounting hardware kit, allowing you to upgrade to the Agile Stack or Agile Quad Kit. These modular kits come in a stackable design, allowing you to increase capacity to 12 or 24 rifles (respectively).

Based on 22 years of building military armories, SecureIt included three locking lugs on the door’s top, bottom, and side to prevent prying attacks. Likewise, the hinge design runs the entire length of the door to prevent sawing. Correspondingly, there are three entry methods: a keypad, biometric, and mechanical key.

The keypad features oversized, backlit number pads for easy operation and offers user-programmable codes for a manager and two users. However, the biometric pad only allows for one set of fingerprints but is fairly easy to program. Finally, the mechanical key is reminiscent of an old skeleton key. It is very long, and features teeth like you would see on a skeleton key.

The keypad has oversized, backlit number pads.

The clandestine keyhole is smartly hidden behind the “Agile” nameplate on the door. To access it, you have to use a Phillips screwdriver to remove the nameplate. I thought this was a very smart idea to help prevent lock-picking. You have to know it’s there to expose it.

Measuring H 52 x W 20.25 x D 15.25 inches, the Agile Pro 52 easily fits anywhere in the home.

I’m a big fan of being able to lay things out as I see fit for my specific needs. Not to mention the ability to make changes to the layout as my needs change. So, I really liked the patented CradleGrid Technology backwall of the Agile Pro 52.

The back wall consists of a 22-row, 6-column louvered grid panel to accept an array of CradleGrid accessories. This includes barrel cradles, a rifle/gear shelf, various accessory bins, storage trays, and more. Each CradleGrid accessory can be placed anywhere on the grid to create the layout that suits you best.

Speaking of CradleGrid accessories, I really like the barrel cradles coupled with the stock bases. The stock bases sit on the safe floor and securely hold the stock of two rifles each. When coupled with the barrel cradles, your rifles stand straight up and down and are easily accessible. Not to mention, the barrel cradles hold the rifle far enough away from the back wall to accommodate a scope.

I have the Burris Eliminator 6 scope on my 6.5 Grendel AR, and it is a big scope. However, it comes nowhere near touching the back wall. I love that.

The stock bases help keep your rifles straight and separated.

Also included with the Agile Pro 52 is a door organizer. The organizer features six mesh pouches, two pistol pouches, and three rows of Molle webbing. It is held in place via hook-and-loop panels as well as eight bolts. Fortunately, it is easy to remove because the battery compartment for the keypad is behind the organizer.

Finally, the safe comes with a rechargeable light bar. Due to its magnetic installation, the light bar can be placed anywhere in the safe and is easy to move. It features a switchable red and white light, motion sensing mode, and adjustable brightness.

The Agile Pro 52 showed up in three boxes: one large box with the safe and two smaller boxes with accessories and additional parts. Although it included a 10mm wrench for assembly, do yourself a favor and use a ratchet with 10mm socket. The included wrench is serviceable but is very small, thin, and will take you a lot longer.

The SecureIt Agile Pro 52 comes in multiple boxes and requires assembly.

Assembly was very easy, and everything basically just snapped together. All of the bolts are pre-installed on the top and bottom panels. So, just slide the back wall onto the bolts on the bottom panel, hand-tighten a nut onto it, and move on to the next piece. Continue this with the two sides.

Building the SecureIt Agile Pro 52 is very easy and everything goes together easily.

Finally, you add the door in the same way. SecureIt suggests you use two people for this due to the door’s weight. However, not everyone has a helper, so I decided to see if I could do it myself. I had no issues at all. It slid right onto the bolts and was easy to hold in place while I tightened the nuts. Then, I slid the top of the safe into place and hand-tightened the nuts to secure everything.

With everything in place, the patented Slide-Lok Technology lets you lock everything together with just a few bolts. Just slide the Lock Rails in place in all four corners, and everything locks together. Finally, go around with your 10mm socket and tighten everything. That’s it.

All that is left is to install the door organizer and configure the back wall how you want it.

From start to finish, I think I had about three hours into it, including taking photos. It felt like cleanup and breaking down the boxes took almost as long. Ok, that might be an exaggeration. But not much.

Overall, I am quite impressed with the SecureIt Agile Pro 52. There was a lot of innovation that went into this safe, from design and assembly to configuration. Not to mention, the smaller profile easily fits just about anywhere in the home and provides easy access to your favorite firearms.

However, I personally would have liked to have seen a door organizer option that allowed for more pistols. Granted, there is an area of Molle webbing, and I can add some pouches. But that incurs an additional expense and would still only provide room for a few pistols. I would like to see a door organizer that is dominated by pistol pouches.

Other than that small, easily rectifiable detail, the Agile 52 makes very good use of the room provided.

If you are looking for a safe that provides easy configuration the way you want it, the SecureIt Agile 52 is worth a look. With an MSRP of $999.00, it is a good balance of cost vs. peace of mind.
