Built for Fast Access, Designed for Serious Security
Looking for a secure way to store firearms or valuables without sacrificing space or speed? The Steelhead Undercover 48X is built for people who want reliability above all else. Instead of electronics or batteries, this under-bed safe uses a Simplex mechanical push-button lock for quick, repeatable access every time. Whether you're protecting your home, your apartment, or your vehicle, the 48X delivers professional-grade protection with no electronics to fail.
Crafted in the USA from solid 12-gauge American Steel, the 48X is built to take abuse. The Simplex lock features a gear-driven 7-point locking system and an anti-pry drawer design that work together to resist attacks and forced entry.
It's a low-profile build that slides cleanly under most beds, inside closets, or into vehicles. Need flexible installation? With anchor holes on the top and bottom plus cable slots on both sides, you can bolt it down, mount it vertically, stack units, or secure it with Steelhead's optional 3-foot or 6-foot high-security cables.
Q: Will this safe fit under my bed?
A: The Undercover 48X is just 6" tall and designed to fit under most standard beds. Be sure to measure your clearance to confirm!
Q: Can I bolt it down or secure it with a cable?
A: Yes! It comes with four anchor holes on both the top and bottom, as well as cable slots on both sides for flexible or double cable mounting.
Q: Does the Simplex lock require batteries?
A: No. Simplex locks are fully mechanical. They don't use batteries or electronics.
Q: Can this be used in a vehicle?
A: Absolutely. Its low profile and multiple mounting options make it a great solution for SUVs, RVs, and other vehicles. Just confirm measurements before purchase.
Q: Is this a good alternative to a large gun safe?
A: Definitely. If you’re in a smaller space or need decentralized storage, the Undercover 48X provides serious security without the bulk.
