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!

Despite the delivery company not advising me of its delivery. I was not at home and it was left outside in the rain in the front garden. The Cabinet was not damaged, and was easily fitted to a solid interior wall with the assistance of the detailed instruction's. The securing bolts were just right for the depth of the wall. The interior size is perfect for my use.

Actually ended up buying 2 cabinets - a 5 rifle and a 7 pistol - great value for money, very secure, and equally important - easy to securely fit to a wall and floor. Very happy with the service and the speed of delivery - also kept well informed at all stages of the service - 10/10

This safe is perfect for rifles that have a mounted scope, however I would suggest that it is best for three guns if you do not want them touching in the safe or when you withdraw them. it would be useful if the the foam for supporting the guns was not fitted but rather allow the owner to adjust with a bit of double sided tape.
