Phoenix Lacerta GS8001K - 3 Gun Cabinet Reviews

This is a good safe. As I have one I bought this one for my niece for Christmas. It is good value, well made and the locks are slick. We found if we fiddled around and dismantled shotguns it will actually take four. However it is ideal for one or two, plenty of room and good internal support. It was easy to fit, bolted securely and satisfied the FEO's inspection without a problem. It fitted behind a door comfortably and is very unobtrusive. It will take a scoped rifle, two at a push if stored sideways. However I think it is best used as a shotgun cabinet. Excellent product and would buy another.

Neat and tidy design. Looks good and does the job.

incredibly prompt service, delivered the next day and passed firearms officer inspection with flying colours.

thanks

Great little safe. I’d prob just put 2 guns inside to avoid damaging them as cosy. Plastic Rawl plugs come included.....I don’t like plastic plugs so bought steel anchors for a few quid, but that’s just me being very cautious. Top marks though for a great value safe. Great service too.

This is a very solid cabinet, well finished and excellent value for money.

I was able to install it myself using a power drill and driver without any issues at all and the instructions/guide was clear. It is absolutely exactly as described and I have no hesitation in recommending it and safe.co.uk who delivered the safe on time and discreetly packaged. It came with 2 x sets of keys, the locks are robust and have a very positive locking mechanism so you are certain that the cabinet is secure.

This cabinet was bought due to a house move and was approved without hesitation by the Police.

Product is good. Service was excellent.

Excellent piece of kit at a reasonable price

Great safe. Good quality and good price. Would recommend.

A very nice cabinet which has a good quality finish. It comes at a decent price and was delivered exceptionally quickly. The main aim was to keep the local Firearms Officer happy and he confirmed it met all of his expectations! The room inside would be OK for 3 guns, but if you have sights attached then I think you would struggle to get them all in there. Fitting the cabinet was easy - all of the necessary wall anchor bolts etc were provided. All in all a very quick and easy experience. I'd be happy to recommend this company.

I bought this gun safe to store 2 guns which it does very effectively and securely. It passed the police inspection with flying colours and met all requirements. So my only small comment was the top key lock is temperamental, it still locks but you have to fiddle with the key a little before it fits into place to open the safe, similar occurs when trying to remove the key. If it wasn’t for this it would have had 5 stars for quality. Now here is why the storage only gets 4 out of 5. I had to store a friends gun temporarily and whilst it did fit with some jiggery pokery (you have to put this 3rd gun in first as the door prevent you accessing it or putting it in with the other 2 guns in the cabinet. A minor point but hence not 5 stars. Overall a very good cabinet and very much worth the money would definitely recommend.

I looked on line and found the gun cabinet that I was looking for was able to be purchased from your company. I rang your office and had a very helpful lady go through the order procedure. She was very efficient and was able to tell me in detail exactly what I needed to know. She took my details and sent me a conformation email within minutes. The gun cabinet was delivered on time a couple of days later. The gun cabinet is of good quality and fits the space allocated to it. It is perfect for the use it will have. I would certainly recommend the cabinet and your company to others.

The product, the gun safe I ordered has come up to expectations and is now secured to a wall in my office. I originally thought of buying a bigger gun safe to accommodate my target rifle while in it's hard case. This would have made the dimensions too large to fit into it's present location and meant fitting it somewhere I really didn't want to.

Overall I am quite satisfied that it will do the job required of it and would recommend this item even though it would be a 'tight' fit for more than one target rifle. As regards shotguns I can see no problems with the full three as specified.

Value for Money would have been a 5 star, however the bolts supplied were not long enough to go through dot & dab plaster board and into the blockwork.

It is a very sturdy cabinet but I find that having two locks is causing me frustration as having unlocked the top lock you cannot remove the key whilst the lock is in the open position so you have to take the second key off the key ring to open the bottom lock. My lever action carbine fits fine but me percussion shotgun is too wide to fit comfortably. This is probably my fault as, being in my seventies, I was brought up in feet and inches and find it hard to visual figures on metric. I will probably have to buy another but deeper cabinet and keep this one for any blackpowder pistols I may purchase..

Great product

Having recently returned to shooting I acquired a Phoenix Lacerta GS8001K - 3 Gun Cabinet from Safe. I found the service from Safe was quick and efficient, and the Cabinet arrived in good order.

I installed the Cabinet myself, choosing to upgrade the hardware supplied to that of a more substantial quality. It is fair to point out that I'm not the proficient DIY'er however the unit was straightforward to install (affixing it to both the floor and two external walls).

The Firearms officers inspection of the Cabinet (in-situ) went well, and he was happy to approve my application on the basis that the Cabinet was well installed, and was by its construction, fit for purpose.

Therefore based on my own experience, I am more that happy to refer Safe to other gun owners.

Bought a gun safe, good value for money. I had a slight problem with one of the locks and customer services went out of their way to resolve the problem. The measure of a good company is how they handle problems and I can't fault safe.co.uk, and would recommend them to anyone.

Absolutely brilliant value for money! As it’s my first gun safe it’s perfectly practical. I will be purchasing another to expand my collection

Product is excellent and is provided with high-quality wall/floor fixings. However, while it might comfortably hold three shotguns, it won't take more than two rifles with scopes fitted - actually a bit of a fiddle to get two in. If I were to buy again I'd go a size or two up to meet my needs. But it's a very good quality piece of kit.

This is a nice small safe but it will be a tight squeeze to fit in 3 guns but it is possible. It was very easy to mount to the wall or floor. Security is also good and if you have a key in the lock and you don’t lock it all the way than you can’t remove the key so it’s impossible to forget to lock it all the way.

I bought this for my son for Christmas. It arrived promptly and does what it is built for. Strong, good safe locks, does need a bit of clarification on which screws do what, but it’s installed and my son is very happy.

The product is great, but the service is even better. Totally recommend it, look no further this is a great bit of kit. The fitting service is geat value for money, with solid advice on where to ( and where not to) fit the cabinet ( even making a second call free of charge as I needed to make a few internal adjustments)

100% recommend !!

Good value product.

Great product and outstanding customer service.

Great product, price and service.

This is an Excellent product and is very well built and perfect for the job in hand. It was very easy to instal and also very easy to use. It is very secure. This was a three gus cabinet that i purchased and there is plenty of room for three guns. The delivery was quick and the cabinet was securely packaged and arrived on time. The overall process of purchasing and receiveing the product was simple and hassle free. Having received the cabinet it was well worth the money. I would have no issues recommending any to buy this product.

Arrived promptly, very simple to secure to the wall. It is harder to get a gun in the slot nearest to the hinge though.

Great safe that came with fast delivery and friendly driver, keys could be coloured to match top /bottom locks other than that it’s a high quality safe that got a thumbs up from the FEO, highly recommend.

The selection on the web site was very good and the web site itself was very clear and easy to use, from browsing for information through to purchase. The product is very good quality and it and its contents were exactly as described. This also meant that installation was very straight forward. The service from Safe was also very good. The safe was well protected by its packaging so had no marks in spite of a significant dent to the packaging during transit. The delivery was also as committed to by Safe, which made being present for it easy.

Exellellt for the price

Good - although the key action is a bit "fiddly" at times

Excellent value for money, delivered on time and easy to fit. Exactly as required. Thank you!

Relatively easy to fit in upright position on garage wall , with bolts provided - firearms officer could not shift it when he tried to rip it off the wall.

3 gun cabinet accommodates a blunderbuss and a flintlock cavalry pistol with a very bulky snaphaunce lock, but doubt if it could fit in a third

Good solid cabinet with decent locks at top and bottom. As it was the 3 gun cabinet it is a little cramped to get your hands in there to Fix it in position. I took the door off to fix it and there was no problem at all. Great price as well.

Bought as a 3 gun cabinet but can only fit 2 rifles with scopes in the cabinet

Otherwise excellent product !!

Excellent product. Really good quality finish on the outside. The gun safe feels very sturdy. We have mounted it into custom built cupboards and it really does look the part.

I would say that I would probably have gone for the slightly larger one as this one is listed as a three gun cabinet but that doesnt take into account if your rifles are scoped. Perfect for 1 or 2 if you also have scopes, go for a larger one if you are unsure.

Two good chunky locks, order process straightforward, turned up on the expected day with no damage.

I would recommend this safe and also safe.co.uk

Good budget safe but would only recommend it be purchased for shotgun storage, it will accommodate 3 shotguns but is not deep enough to store a scoped rifle.

This cabinet is perfect for my needs. The construction and configuration, particularly the door opening is ideal because I have limited space to accommodate the cabinet.

The cabinet is very strongly built and with the accompanying bolts produces a secure fitting. My disappointment is that it is not suitable for guns with a telescopic sight and is a very tight fit for three guns.

My only comment is that the storage capacity is as advertised, but because of the way the door opens, the access size isn't great. Maybe all gun safes are similar. I should probably purchased a larger safe, but it will do fine now that it is installed.

Fast and efficient delivery by very freindly driver. Installed the cabinet with the fixings provided. Security is excellent with two locks with high security keys. Just a small point but thought it was a very good feature. You can't take the keys out of the lock if it is not locked. Hence the security is better still. No taking your gun out and forgetting to lock up. You HAVE to lock the door or the keys won't come out. I only have one shot gun but if I had two or three I can imagine this being an issue. Overall I am very happy with my cabinet. Well made, secure and totally unobtrusive.

We are very pleased with this product, which is really well made and very good value for money.

The fit is a little snug if holding three shotguns, although the grips hold them in place well.

The Gun Cabinet is excellent quality, build and ease of use. As I have three different styles of shotgun, an over and under, side by side and automatic they are a bit trickier to fit in the cabinet, it would be perfect for three over and under. To be honest it's no biggie I just have to juggle them. The delivery was a bit of a challenge as we live on a new estate and the address wasn't showing up. Also the carrier damaged it, it was badly scratched and twisted slightly but once I contacted SAFE they were brilliant and offered me a refund, an exchange or money off. I can't say fairer than that. I would highly recommend SAFE and this cabinet.

Slightly awkward to fit all 3 guns in but well made, easy to mount, and delivered fast. Does the job but if you're considering 3 large guns I would get the next size up to be safe. Police were more than content with it for security so we'll worth the price

Good product

Slim and compact. Ideal for small places. Passed with flying colours on inspection. Very pleased.

Good product very secure

Straight forward and easy to install gun safe that met the requirements of UK shotgun storage laws. Delivery on time and website was easy to use. Marked down due to it being pricey in my opinion and the supplied bolts were also not suitable and therefore I opted to install this safe using much stronger anchor bolts. Overall would recommend.

First class product, very well made and very secure and for a very good price. It was very easy to install.

Product does what us expected, easy to use and fit to a solid wall with good coach bolt fixings. This clearly meets UK police requirements as they inspect it all. Safe and solid and good safe space saving product fir holding a few guns only. Only minor small issue is one key seems to operate both locks where as the other key doesn't. I just colour key to remind which one opens which lock, no real issue and locks work great.

No worries at all, good product, very good communication and delivery. Many thanks

Great product. Installation was straight forward and price point was excellent

Product and supplier recommended.

The safe is great, albeit the fixings are not the greatest from a security standpoint. I ended up resin bolting it into the ground with much larger washers. There is little in the way of protection for the guns with just a bit of rubber/foam. Plan on adding some extra padding around or covering your guns. I don't have 3 guns to test with but I imagine it would be very tight.

Nice finish and great quality

Quick delivery and priced well

Cabinet states 3 gun but as the two locks on the inside of the door are so big when the door is closed I would say it's OK for one gun only maybe 3 if your very careful?

Sorry for the negative review but I never used it and sold it

(thought potential purchasers needed to know)

I bought another where the door can be lifted off like the one I had in the 80's

A very good basic Gun Cabinet . Good value for money.

Just got my shotgun licence and the firearms officer was happy with the safe, so thumbs up from me!

A good robust cabinet, that has enough storage for my needs.

Delivery was efficient and fitting it was easy

Had it inspected by the police and got the thumbs up 👍.

If I ever need to make another purchase, I’ll be back.

I will be happy to recommend this company to my friends.

Thank you.

I brought this to store a shotgun, it fits comfortably within the safe with plenty of room another one. This cabinet was easy to install. Delivery was fast and efficient, didn’t have to wait long from payment to arrival, got to select a date which suited. I would recommend this safe

Easy to order, arrived on schedule - most importantly it passed the police inspection with flying colours!

Product arrived on day stated for delivery , very robust and sturdy cabinet , had a problem with one of the locks that was very quickly sorted over the phone by a member of your staff , the issue was one of the locks had moved during transit.

Overall very please with the product and the service highly reomended.

Great Safe, delivered early, great service and quality.

Good product ...quality but struggle to get three guns in it if they are scoped rifles.

If you're looking to get a safe that does the job at a great price then this is it. However, there are compromises, such as a 32 inch gun can't have extended multi chokes in, the edges of the safe are not rubberised to protect the gun when moving in and out of the safe and the rubber insert can be easily displaced...but for the money those are understandable. Also I had the safe fitted and that service is excellent and easy to use, the safe people were very helpful on the phone and made a real effort to sort eveything for me as I was out of the usual time period to book installation.

This is my first gun cabinet that I’ve bought, so cannot compare to any others.

First thing I noticed is that it was heavier than I thought, which is only a good thing in my opinion.

Seems well built and sturdy.

Very easy to install if you only have limited diy experience.

Would definitely recommend.

Brilliant product, brilliant design, cannot fault it at all! Would highly recommend and delivery was great

sturdy cabinet, easy to mount and easy to use. just the right space for 3 guns not to big either. 5 * value

The cabinet is great quality and great value for money. It came packaged and delivered quickly and Safe was in regular contact about delivery and also when the fitter would be coming!! It was fitted extremely quickly bought longer bolts as the ones supplied are not long enough to securely fit to the wall

It is ideal for what I needed. Delivered when they said it would.

Everything was great about this safe, however. The bolts and Rawplugs are not great so get yourself better ones.

Also the size of the keys are massive so having difficulty in getting a key safe that they can all fit in.

Apart from these 2 things would defo recommend to get especially as I am only looking to hold 1 piece.

Very good quality as I expected, fast delivery, easy installation and signed off by local constabulary, no issues.

Great safe, easy to install, great value. I wanted to use concrete anchors to hold base to floor so I bought those extra and used the coach bolts supplied to hold back to wall. As I said, great value and build quality. Great for 2 guns but a little tight for 3. I only wanted it for 2 guns, so fine for me.

I’ve held back reviewing until I had the police check. Passed with no issues.

There are .pdf to download on the specs of the cabinet, this also helps during the police check.

From selecting, purchasing, to delivery, all made easy.

No issues with the delivery, we’ll package up.

2 sets of keys, for both top and bottom locks.

I’m new to safes, but very happy to recommend this based on easy to buy, quick delivery, easy to install, and details as downloadable .pdf’s. All in all, very happy and no hesitation to give 5 star review

Excellent price and delivery service.

The locks intrude too far into the cabinet, reducing useable space.

You cannot remove the keys from the locks when opened, only removable when locked.

The locks operate in a "clunky" way.

Overall, disappointed. I should have bought another gunbox from my previous supplier!

not brilliant if you have an air rifle with a scope

can only fit 1 gun in it just!

Fits two shotguns comfortably and certainly appears to have enough spare space for a third.

Bought way before my FEO inspection rightly or wrongly but even paid for installation. Nice and heavy. Easy opening door and no sticking. I'd say I could have installed it easy enough but as I wanted to make sure it lived up to requirements by Firearms unit I thought best be safe than sorry. It passed and I now have my SG. I'd say adequate for 1 to 2 as quite small but ideal for the casual leisure shooter. Would definitely buy from Safe again!

Good product for the price, delivery was on time and it passed the police inspection with flying colours.

Only 1 of the 4 keys works smoothly in the top lock, which made it a bit of a faff until I marked the keys. Would recommend.

Good value gun safe. Fits 3 shotguns and probably a couple more if you’re not fussy. Definitely entry level but great if you’re just starting out.

Product is compact and seems secure, fits 3 shotguns as advertised. Fixings were good and easy to use. Very happy with product for fitting in a limited space and excellent value

Great cabinet. Does exactly what you want. I had it installed for me too. The installers came the day after it was delivered and it all passed the police check. Perfect!

Good cheap gun safe delivered quickly and exactly as described.

I recently acquired the Phoenix Lacerta GS8001K - 3 Gun Cabinet, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. The safe boasts impressive security features, including a robust locking mechanism and solid steel construction, providing peace of mind for firearm storage. Its spacious interior comfortably accommodates my shotguns, ensuring easy access while maintaining safety. The sleek design also adds a touch of elegance to my storage space. Overall, it's a reliable and well-crafted investment for any shotgun owner seeking top-notch security. Highly recommended!
