This is a very sturdy and solidly built cabinet. I nearly went for a smaller one but am pleased I didn't. Perfect for my requirements although at the moment I only have two rifles (with scopes) stored in it. I am pleased I also added the optional fixing kit as the bolts provided are exactly right for the job and a typical DIYer like myself probably wouldnt have anything suitable already as I didnt.

It would be quite handy if a stiff paper template accompanied the cabinet with the fixing holes already marked. Most people wouldnt have a piece of paper big enough to make their own template.This would be minimal cost to the manufacturer but would be a real bonus to the purchaser/fitter.

Because it is a heavy cabinet and in my case I had to fix to the wall - well above the floor, it requires two strong people to lift into position to get a couple of the bolts in. In my house there arent two strong people so this was very difficult! It would be handy therefore to have some advice on how you might fasten it to the wall once the holes have been drilled.

The product is of solid construction and comes with two locks that need separate keys. It meets BS 7558, the relevant British standard for this type of equipment, and comes with a three-year on-site warranty. It passed a police inspection a couple of weeks after installation. The gunsafe is easy to put up and comes equipped with the appropriate fixtures and fittings. The item arrived at the promised date and time at an agreed address which, for convenience, was different from where it was due to be sited. The packaging used for transportation was extremely sturdy which ensured that the purchase arrived in mint condition. The safe will undoubtedly accommodate five shotguns and/or rifles providing there are no attachments. If rifles have attachments, for example bipods and telescopic sights, these will need to be removed if the billed capacity is to be achieved

Good safe. Never in a million years will you fit 5 rifles in the cabinet.

Well built and accurate dimensions. Beware that if you order the door to be left hand opening they will just turn the door upside down, not really a major problem but the door was designed to be opened right handed so the bottom internal hinge which is chamfered to prevent damage to your gunstocks is now at the top leaving the top unchamfered now at the bottom to scratch your rifle stock. Trying to explain this to their complaints department was impossible and I gave up. Guys at the gun club said I should have not paid the extra fee for changing the door opening but just turn the whole cabinet upside down.

The product is fine and does what it is designed to do ie keep guns safe. Only criticism however is that this is a 5 rifle cabinet, it is supposed to be designed to take rifles. These nowadays by and large have scopes attached and more often than not bi pods too. There is not width in these cabinets for 5 fully equipped rifles unless you like bashing your guns together, scratching everything just to get them inside the case. If you don't, this cabinet becomes a 3 rife cabinet which then reduces its value for money!

The brattonsound RD5 that I purchased is a very solid, heavily built safe, with high gauge steel. It projects a very solid, secure method of storing firearms.

Due to the build type of my property, the safe is mounted horizontally on the floor, and secured to the joists. This type of deployment makes it tricky to get the door open, as there is no handle and the door is very heavy. The key is the only way to pull the door up and open.

This method of mounting therefore is not ideal, however modern buildings do not lend themselves very well to wall mounting. I have lined my safe with carpet tiles, glued in with carpet adhesive. This gives the weapons greater protection against knocks, and also helps to reduce condensation within the enclosure.

The safe shop honoured a pricematch and also knocked off double the difference, which made the purchase of this safe from them a total no brainer. The website is easy to navigate and communication with the team there is quick and efficient.

The gun cabinet is brilliant very strong and fantastic quality, lots of space inside and was easy to install. Hinge is concealed well for extra security and also has two very secure locks fitted which are smooth to unlock and lock. So a great product allround and bargain price too. Very happy. Keith.

It’s a good entry level safe. Easy to install and does the job well. It’s not too big but has a decent amount of capacity.

If anything does go wrong it has a decent warranty from a manufacturer that will actually try and fix issues plus safe.co.uk customer service is first rate.

Great security for money but would be hard to store 5 Guns however it dose the Job well for the price.

Good solid safe, easy to install, my FAO was happy with both the locking system of the safe and how it was installed
