About Granite Security Products/Winchester Safes

Granite Security Products/Winchester Safes has been a prominent figure in the U.S. gun safe industry for 34 years. Founded in January 1990 by Vietnam veteran Kyle Walters, who serves as the President and Owner, the company boasts a rich history steeped in expertise and dedication. Before establishing Granite, Walters held the esteemed position of President at American Security Products in California for a decade, accumulating invaluable experience within the safe industry. In December 1990, Granite achieved a significant milestone by securing the first prestigious UL Listing of RSC (Residential Security Container) for a gun safe. In 1999, Walters acquired the gun safe product line and Winchester License from Meilink Safe Company in New Albany, IN. By integrating the iconic Winchester brand with our extensive gun safe line, Winchester Safes experienced exponential growth, firmly establishing itself as a leader in the industry. Today, Winchester Safes operates with a remarkable unit capacity of over 600,000 safes per year, demonstrating its dedication to meeting the evolving needs of customers nationwide. Strategically located in Texas, our centralized position offers customers a significant freight cost advantage to any shipping point across the United States.
