Sorry for the slow response. It was nice and easy to do, took 10mins to change both locks with a sockett set. Thanks again for all the advice!

Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it! I've rang up Brattonsound and ordered some new locks which should be here the beginning of next week. So once they've arrived I shall let you all know how I get on fitting them. I bet the chances are once they're fitted the old keys will turn up lol. Cheers!

Thanks, just went and checked behind the plate again and they're cross head bolts, but think I might be able to hold the head in place with a nail file. Cheers, I shall give them a bell Monday and see what they say.

Thanks for the info, I've got a Brattonsound 3 gun cabinet. I've attached a picture below of one of the locks. I've got a feeing as I try to undo the nut the bolt is just going to spin with it. I can get my finger in behind the plate but doubt I'll be able to apply enough pressure to stop the bolt from spinning as well.

Hello, I've recently moved house and in the move I have lost one of my sets of gun cabinet keys, I still have the spare set on me. Now I haven't fixed my cabinet to the well yet in my new house (my gun is currently in storage at the local gunshop) but the question is do I need to buy a new cabinet as I've now lost a set of keys to my cabinet? Only a handfull of my family know that I own a gun and where I live (yes you all know on here now but you don't know where I live). I think I have lost the keys in my new house although I've had a good look but can't seem to find them. If I have lost them outside of the house and someone else finds them I highly doubt they'll know what the keys are for and where I live ect... But I suppose there's always the "what if" possibility but extremely unlikely. So I would like to know your thoughts on this, should I buy a new cabinet to cover my **** in the "what if" scenario? I have thought about changing the locks on the cabinet but by the looks of the way they are mounted I don't think they can be changed. Many Thanks Elliot.
