Yes, That California Certified Our Lock
We know what you’re thinking: “California?”
Say those syllables in a room full of gun owners and you’ll get eye rolls, head shakes, and maybe even a sarcastic “What did they ban this time?”
Fair. California doesn’t exactly have a reputation for embracing firearm freedom. But when it comes to testing the physical security of gun safety devices, they do one thing well:
They make it hard to pass.
And that’s precisely why we put the B.O.S. Lock to the test and earned CA DOJ certification.
What Makes California’s DOJ Certification a Big Deal?
The California Department of Justice puts firearm safety devices through some of the toughest tests in the country. These aren’t just box-checking exercises. These are hands-on, tool-in-hand, full-send attempts to break into or destroy the device.
To earn their certification, the B.O.S. Lock had to survive a whole gauntlet of abuse:
- Picking and prying
- Hammer strikes and blunt force trauma
- Saw blades on our hardened alloy
- Shock tests and drop tests
- Tensile strength attempts to pull it apart
We didn’t just survive it, we passed with flying colors.
Old-School Gun Storage = Choose Your Compromise
Before now, if you wanted CA DOJ-certified strength, your options looked something like:
- A 300-lb safe anchored to the garage floor
- A lockbox hidden in the back of a closet
- A keypad safe that turns into a Rubik’s Cube when you’re under stress
Sure, those solutions are tough. But they’re also slow, stationary, and built for a world where your most significant threat is time, not trauma.
That’s the compromise we refused to accept.
Certified Tough, Built Fast: The B.O.S. Lock Advantage
With the B.O.S. Lock, you get the same certified strength on your firearm. No need to bolt anything to the wall. No code to remember. No key to fumble.
- CA DOJ certified
- Biometric access with your fingerprint—no key, no combo
- Biometric Slide Lock design means it goes where you go
- Immediate access, even under pressure
A New Standard for Gun Safety
We built the B.O.S. Lock to be more than a checkbox. More than a product that “meets the minimum.”
We built it to be the best of both worlds:
- Certified strength tested by some of the strictest standards in the U.S.
- Every day speed and accessibility, no matter the situation
The Massachusetts Attorney General, another strict state about product vetting, also recommends it to sweeten the deal.
A Lock You Can Trust (Even If You Don’t Trust California)
Look, we get it. California’s not exactly winning over the 2A crowd with its laws. But their DOJ certification process is no joke. It’s the kind of high-stakes stress testing we were proud to pass.
