I guess the better question is.. are DOJ approved safes/locks/etc just what they recommend you buy? Are you required legally to only use DOJ approved items when it comes to home storage?
DOJ certified storage/safety device requirements relate directly to FFL sales/transfers. http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...5.&lawCode=PEN

23635.
(a) Any firearm sold or transferred in this state by a licensed firearms dealer, including a private transfer through a dealer, and any firearm manufactured in this state, shall include or be accompanied by a firearm safety device that is listed on the Department of Justice’s roster of approved firearm safety devices and that is identified as appropriate for that firearm by reference to either the manufacturer and model of the firearm, or to the physical characteristics of the firearm that match those listed on the roster for use with the device
Access to unauthorized persons is spelled out in PEN 25135. Arguably, if you take actions to preclude other prohibited residents (if present) from having access to the gun, you will be in reasonably good shape should someone not prohibited reside there or if someone illegally enters your residence.: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/f...ctionNum=25135.
Quote:
25135.
(a) A person who is 18 years of age or older, and who is the owner, lessee, renter, or other legal occupant of a residence, who owns a firearm and who knows or has reason to know that another person also residing therein is prohibited by state or federal law from possessing, receiving, owning, or purchasing a firearm shall not keep in that residence any firearm that he or she owns unless one of the following applies:
(1) The firearm is maintained within a locked container.
(2) The firearm is disabled by a firearm safety device.
(3) The firearm is maintained within a locked gun safe.
(4) The firearm is maintained within a locked trunk.
(5) The firearm is locked with a locking device as described in Section 16860, which has rendered the firearm inoperable.
(6) The firearm is carried on the person or within close enough proximity thereto that the individual can readily retrieve and use the firearm as if carried on the person.
(b) A violation of this section is a misdemeanor.
(c) The provisions of this section are cumulative, and do not restrict the application of any other law. However, an act or omission punishable in different ways by different provisions of law shall not be punished under more than one provision.

16860. As used in Sections 16850, 25105, and 25205, “locking device” means a device that is designed to prevent a firearm from functioning and, when applied to the firearm, renders the firearm inoperable. (http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/fa...0.&lawCode=PEN)
It’s up to you to decide what level of comfort you need when managing the risk of storing your guns. But, guns which can’t be seen are less likely to disappear. And guns locked inside a secure container can’t easily walk away.
