Description
A low chest for cased guns, 70cm high so it sits under a window or against a wall without dominating the room. Four or six cased guns, laid flat in fitted compartments rather than stood on a rack. 3mm mild steel throughout, folded steel doors whose folded return passes behind the frame on the hinge side, 8-lever safe locks to EN 1300 Class A rated VdS Class 1 with each bay secured independently, and a separate lockable ammunition compartment with its own lock. Racks are cut to your gun list. Available in oak, character oak, pippy oak, walnut, mahogany or painted. Character oak adds about 8% and pippy oak about 12%; every price is published on the range pages. Prices include VAT. Delivery and fitting by our own team is included in the price. Responsibility for meeting the security condition on your certificate rests with you as the certificate holder. Adequacy at a given address is a matter for your local firearms licensing department. Full sizes, capacities and every price are on the Brett page, alongside the rest of the standard range.Questions we are asked
What is the cabinet made from?
A folded and continuously welded 3 mm mild steel container, with 3 mm in every panel: top, base, both sides, back and every door. There is no thinner panel anywhere in the enclosure. The timber case is built around it and does no security work.
What lock does it use?
A Lowe & Fletcher 3012 eight-lever safe lock, VdS Class 1, with 80,000 differs and anti-pick levers. The bolts throw vertically into lugs set beyond the folded frame, so no part of the locking is in the shut line. Full-height doors commonly take a three-point security lock.
Is the ammunition kept separately?
Yes. Ammunition has its own compartment with its own lock, independent of the firearms compartment and built to the same standard.
How is it fixed?
Into masonry or structural timber at not fewer than four points, never into plasterboard alone, and never into a stud partition without additional anchorage. We deliver and install every cabinet ourselves and record the fixings on the handover sheet.
Is it police approved, or made to BS 7558?
There is no police approval scheme for gun cabinets in the United Kingdom, and BS 7558 is no longer a maintained standard, so we claim neither. We state what we build in figures and put the drawn specification to your firearms enquiry officer before anything is made.
Secure storage is a condition of your certificate. Your local firearms licensing department is the authority on your own position, and the conditions on your certificate take precedence over anything written here.
