Excellent safe, lots of storage for guns. Easily takes long, scoped rifles.
Lockable internal box has limited room for ammunition, fine if all your guns are in the same caliber, but if you want to keep lots of various ammo + shotgun shells think about investing in a separate safe.
Very good product. I would highly recommnend.
Only a slight annoyance.. it would be nice to have some sort of a handle on the front door, as once it is unlocked it is a bit hard to get the door to swing open.. you basically just pull on the key to swing the very heavy door open.
great gun safe, well built and solid. when firearms inspector came around to check for licence application he told me of a case where the safe was broken in to. the criminals had using a crow bar and hammer sheared the pins that secure the door , the pins on that safe had been cast metal and explained this safe had steel pins and he was much happier with this safe. even though the other safe does meet the standards for guns this one is much more secure. i did not know this when i bought the safe i was delighted in my puchase . the safe shop have been helpful in any assistance i needed as well.
This is a great safe, but as others have pointed out its a bit small to really think of it as a 5 rifle safe, but it was perfect for my needs. The lockable compartment at the top is also quie small and you have to take the key out to be able to swing the door open enough to get decent access.
It feels a very sturdy safe, and my firearms officer recognised the brand and was very happy with it.
The ordering process, wait times and delivery were all top notch.
This is a really well made rifle safe. Deep enough to take scoped rifles. I am sure if would take 5 rifles, though care would be needed getting them in and out. Integral ammunition safe is useful, a little on the small side but perfectly adequate for my purposes. Pleny of room for 600 rounds of 22LR with space left for bolts. If you store a lot of ammunition or shoot larger calibres additional ammunition storage would probably be needed.
Excellent security when bolted to secure wall and / or floor.
No problems when inspected by the local firearms licensing officer - "pretty much perfect security", as he put it.
A word of warning - the door is very heavy and there is no way to open it other than pulling on the key, therefore it must be installed vertically, it would not be suitable for installation horizontally.
Would wholeheartedly recommend.
This safe is a great product!
In addition to its great build quality, it has great features including the lock top and vault style door. I much prefer this to the traditional double lock and it feel as if it’s more secure. After bolting to the wall there is no movement or flex in the safe.
Installation of the top bolts was a bit fiddly in the small space of the lock box but all in all I couldn’t be happier!
I initially bought this to store shotguns rather than rifles and my local firearms officer said that I can store up to 6 guns despite its 5 gun rating. This will depend on your constabulary.
All in all it’s tops notch!!
When it comes to gun security, Brattonsound are one of the most respected names in the business, with police FEO approval assured when installed appropriately.
I had looked long and hard for a deep digital rifle safe to sit alongside our existing Brattonsound safe housing shotguns owned by my myself and partner, particularly as my partner does not have a sect.1 license and forever hiding keys from her would have been unsound and quite ridiculous.
In the end however, I purchased two small 'sold-secure' digital safes (with motorised bolts for greatest security), securing the keys to separate gun and ammo safes, and went with another trusted Brattonsound safe for the rifle. Not only does this mean that keys can be taken away (such as when on business or vacation), further frustrating a possible fruitless attack on the digital safes, but it also means wider choice of reduced-cost security (and deeper cabinets for large scopes) which Brattonsound serves so admirably well. I'm glad I made this choice, as the large modular rifle with Kahles 624i scope uses almost the full depth of this cabinet.
Perfect high security storage for my rifles. I now have two identical cabinets and purchased the second recently because I was so pleased with the first one. The build quality is second to none and on inspection by the firearms officer he was completely satisfied that it was more than fit for purpose. The depth of the cabinet allows for scope mounts and it is only the addition of night scope mounts with battery and infra red light attachments that necessitated extra storage space as I could not fit all my rifles in one safe. I have just decided to purchase yet another rifle and as such will need a third! The internal lockable minisafe is ideal for storing extra magazines and other small components that could me mislaid.
Service and build is great but given that the great bulk of the build cost is in the door/manipulating the metal, I don't think the proportionate increase in flat metal to bulk up the overall dimensions would add much to either labour or material cost but adds drmamtically to the appeal of the product. I have both 4/5 and 6/7 cabinets and would, in terms of convenience, rank them as 3 and 5 rifle capacities respectively.
A tight squeeze to get the quoted number of rifles in. Top box access very tight. Fitting kit only of use in perfect walls/floor.
I bought this to house my scoped air rifle collection. Though this cabinet is designed for 5 guns this doesn't account for for the wider stature of my PCP rifles. I have had to introduce an additional foam separator lower down to accommodate the partitions for bullpup length. I took this into consideration when ordering and I must admit this has worked out perfectly for my requirements. With scopes attached I have to ensure my guns are more upright(flat on butt plate) to prevent door interference when closing. Once you have catered for these parameters,with careful removal and placement you have a totally secure and usable cabinet. The final touch is to use a large magnet over the key hole which I slide up to access,then use as a handle. Good secure cabinet thx
