30-06hunter Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Oooh good find! I didn't know of any brand besides buffalo river or sentry who were doing these and they were over £500ish as I recall. That digital sealey that meets BS7558 for £250 inc vat looks like a great option for me. Thanks very much for the link! no probs.. i can honestly not recommend one more.. you might be able to find it cheaper some were else but at £250.. bargain.

Archie-fox Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 (edited) You have to be extra careful with digital safes. There is a lad in Burnley who can literally kick the door in. Was on holiday when the door thread rolled out...managed to find it this morning...fantastic is all I can say...still laughing. " bravo".

AlistairB Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 This is an interesting thread, as Beds Police are positively encouraging licence holders to fit the 'keymaster' type key locks indoors to secure their keys. Seems a bit of an odd thing to do when you consider the last person i know of that they told to do this has a brand new house where you can’t get any grip on the thermablocks behind the plasterboard, so essentially, the key safe is secured to plaster board and nothing else!

HDAV Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 I like the look of this one http://www.littlehomeandgarden.co.uk/rottner-guntronic-5.html but that sealey does seem good value Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might have missed it, bug I looked on that shop and also the manufacturer website and I didn't see either mention BS7558. So anyone planning to get one would need to check that first.

Al69ec Posted July 11, 2013 Report Share Posted July 11, 2013 Hi. Newbie around here. Got sgl but no cabinet/gun yet. I fancied a sentry safe or buffalo river digital cabinet as I don't like the idea of having keys that can be copied lost or stolen. However they are VERY expensive and only the top (large) models have digital. So I'm considering getting a 'normal' key operated bratton sound and then keeping the key in a smaller digital ammo safe adjacent to the gun safe. Would this 'pass muster' with the feo and 'common sense'? I know some people have key cabinets or safes and just 'look after' their key. I don't want it on my keyring so will putting it in another 'bs' approved safe be sensible? Seems ok to me but wanted to put it to you guys too. Cheers how you managed to get sgc without having a cabinet already fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fieldwanderer Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 Going anywhere near my guns would be a very bad idea, I'm not known for being the forgiving type. Seriously though, you can only do your best and to my mind that includes defending your guns by any means, better to shoot some scumbag than let him take your guns onto the streets. My keys are hidden when I'm at home but, being a lorry driver, they're not at home much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 (edited) how you managed to get sgc without having a cabinet already fitted?A cabinet is not a requirement to hold SGC you just apply as everyone does...... Until you intend to keep a gun at home no need for a cabinet! Some people don't intend to keep guns at home. Not unusual for a foreign manufacturer to not state compliance with a BS standard. Is has multi point locking and 2mm steel construction which are the main parts, I am sure the manufacturer can supply more detail for those interested. http://www.rottner-security.co.uk/great-britain/products-old/weapon-cabinets/guntronic.html Edited July 13, 2013 by HDAV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted July 13, 2013 Report Share Posted July 13, 2013 My FEO said THis was not unusual - for instance a chauffeur who transported his employers guns required a SGC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Animal Mother Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Lol I meant the key safes that are designed for a wall outside a house , supra, or 4 wheel combos etc. If your 'key safe' is a proper safe providing iv got the pick / decoder for that lock, ill take your money for 60 Mins . Your going to tell me you got a manifold combo now aren't you plus you could be into almost any safe in 60 mins as a bad guy, 12 inch disk grinder and a good dust mask lol I may possibly have a Manifoil MkIV. I couldn't possibly comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnlewis Posted July 14, 2013 Report Share Posted July 14, 2013 Keep my gun cab keys on me along with safe key(heavy 2" thick steel walls and 4" door) also ammo box key, spare safe key in ammo box and gun cab keys in safe, then spare ammo box key hidden in house. If you found ammo box key you still got to find it as thats tucked away as is the safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bostonmick Posted July 15, 2013 Report Share Posted July 15, 2013 I have a bratton cabinet and the key goes with me everywhere,i have four cabinets in total and the keys for the other three are in the main one I have a spare that is stored away from my home,the bratton cabinets are in my opinion the better ones I have a couple of buffalo river while they are good they have two keys so load up your pockets.

rogcal Posted July 16, 2013 Report Share Posted July 16, 2013 (edited) My spare keys are held by a trusted friend who is also a FAC and SGC holder and I do likewise for him. This takes care of the two problems that could easily befall us older chaps. 1. Forgetting where we've left our primary set of keys. 2. Dropping dead and relatives not knowing where the keys are. OK, so we both might be killed at the same time but what are the odds on that Edited July 16, 2013 by rogcal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pastiebap Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 I can live with that! Could you live with revocation and prosecution? As that is what may well happen if your licensing department found out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CharlieT Posted July 17, 2013 Report Share Posted July 17, 2013 People do seem to go to an awful lot of bother and seem to get their knickers in a twist over hiding a couple of keys. Mine are so safe even I can't find them !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
