Guest Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I am sure you have to fit first in a suitable place .then he checks it fitted right .at least that is what I did fitted before he came Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 I had the same worries before I fitted mine. I sent my Firearms department an email asking if where I was thinking was suitable. I got a response along the lines of - it's not up to us to tell you where to install the cabinet, as long as the guidelines are followed, out of sight etc, we will check it is securely fastened. I'll see if I still have the email and will copy their full response. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted July 18, 2018 Report Share Posted July 18, 2018 Out of sight is very good advice. Making sure theycannot be seen from outside and in my previous house they sat inside a double wardrobe and were bolted through it to the wall.

Guest Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 Yes they will inspect it in terms of location and how well it is secured to the wall, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dekers Posted July 19, 2018 Report Share Posted July 19, 2018 They can do what they want, commonly they will check at some point. Security is your responsibility, so be sensible and follow the guidelines as best you can. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/firearms-handbook-2005 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackbird Posted July 20, 2018 Report Share Posted July 20, 2018 just be sensible what the police are looking for is the cabinet is placed somewhere that it’s out of sight of visitors ie upstairs or storage room etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
