Brattonsound SB2 Sentinel Breakdown Plus 2 Gun Cabinet (with installation) Reviews

Having been let down by a local gunsmith, who after ten weeks was still unable to deliver a gun safe, I contacted Safe Co.

The two gun ( broken-down ) cabinet was delivered the same week and I installed the unit without any difficulty using resin anchor bolts into the wall and supplementary screw fixings into the base.

The local firearms officer arrived the following week and approved the installation.

The unit is easily accessible and can actually be used as a small value safe whilst holding two shotguns.

On the basis of the aforementioned, I have no hesitation in recommending Safe Co and Brattonsound for the quality of their products and service.

My webley 700 fits nicely with enough room for the soon to be added Westley Richards. I've given 4 out of 5 for security simply as the locks do not look as heavy as I imagined they would be (but this was merely my expectation and therefore personal opinion). It passed my police check with no problems at all. Overall the safe is excellent, esp if space is a little short. The team at Safe.co.uk were excellent and comms was first class. Overall excellent product and service. Have recommended both to friends and family already.

It is easy to install and a good size, fits well when you don't have alot of spare storage space.

Product as expected good.

The availability to have a left hand opening cabinet was hellpful

Sturdy and well made. Its heavy, and fitting it on a wall on your own is hard work. Get some help lifting it...and this is the small one!

very good cabinet, easy to mount

does the job, there's better but cost more and too big

solidity. locks very metal-on-metal stiff on arrival. will grease.

safe secure and does what it says

Really pleased with both the product which was exactly as described, is strong and secure and is perfect for two guns in a confined space. And the fitting service worked really well. Kept me informed of their ETA, fitted it quickly and with no mess. I would definately recommend both cabinet and fitting service.

Had to buy a replacement safe after moving home to a new build. Easy to install and due to its size very discreet in the back of a wardrobe. Arrived damaged but company offered partial refund quickly and easily

Very compact to fit in a tight corner which is exactly what I needed. Easy to install and allows two guns with ease. Two locks adds to the security and the build quality is strong.

Overall a well made safe for the price. The keys can be a bit fiddly and the locks needed some light grease applied to make the action smooth. My biggest gripe is that the safe is very tight for 32" barrels so much so that I will probably buy another safe (now I have had this one fitted) and just use this one for ammunition.

Delighted with this cabinet - my first purchase of a breakdown unit. Due to the new house I've bought not having space for my full size one it's been necessary to split the guns - barrels etc in the original in my garage and the stock/action and bolt in this breakdown cabinet. Excellent product and with gun storage which more than meets the Firearms Officer's security requirement.

The main thing is - the police liked it! It fits perfectly in the limited space I have to store the gun, hence the broken gun safe selection. It is very sturdy and there are fixing holes on the back and the bottom, we used both. The FAO gave it a very good tug and it didn’t move at all. The instructions came in handy too - suggesting fitting the opening against a left hand wall, we hadn’t thought of that…

Altogether a great buy. Recommended.

Great if you lack space for a full size safe. I work on the principle that I have to clean and break the gun after each use so storage broken is not a problem. Sleeve bolts provided by company of low quality buy your own anchor bolts instead. Other than that good product.

Overall, great little cabinet. I chose this breakdown cabinet so I could get a cabinet in a smaller space, well out of the way. It officially holds two guns, but you could get three in if you remove the foam holders inside. It is my second Brattonsound and as usual, they are good quality cabinets at a lower price point, perfect if you do not have very expensive guns.

Brattonsound products are renowned for their build quality and these are no exception. They could think about making it slightly bigger to get a 32” barrel in with extended choke installed-would make it easier to get certain semi-automatics in. Nice to talk to UK company personnel for any pre of after sales.

The SB2 is an excellent cabinet for fitting into a restricted place where a normal full size cabinet will not go. The fixing holes in the rear of the cabinet are generous in that they allow a bit of wriggle room to fit the bolts if you’re drilling into an old stone wall or similar and can’t get the holes millimetre perfect. The build is good and meets the standard required; it’s good quality steel. The door fit and the quality of the locks isn’t quite as snug as some other safes, but it would take a really determined attack to get it open. A good safe for the occasional shooter with one or two average value guns. If I owned a £5k plus gun I’d want a better safe, but this is fine for me and my sub-£1k gun. Overall excellent value for money and hard to better at the price.
