Epic Fail Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 (edited) After a few years i'm looking to get back into shooting. Certs were not renewed in 2014 I have not yet put my FAC & SGC application in but was looking for some feedback on Gun cabinets from the community. I am looking for a larger cabinet so that its as future proof as possible, however as always, money is always going to be tight but do want a good balance of security, size & price I'm not really a fan of the types of cabinets that have 2 independent keys, no handle or locking bolts. as most don't look that secure and the hassle of keeping 2 keys - ones like THIS My previous cabinet was an ebay special and was more of a Vault style, it had 1 lock, 1 handle and multiple locking bolts this is pretty much the exact cabinet i used to have https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GDK-5-POINT-VAULT-LOCKING-6-GUN-CABINET-VAULT-LOCKING-SYSTEM-SHOTGUN-RIFLE-AMMO/291572988343 My FEO was previously fine with this cabinet when inspected in 2009 OK, I have been very fascinated by the company Lokaway, their approach to the door mechanism swinging in and being a full face hinge on one and full face slotted into the frame on the other https://www.philipmorrisdirect.co.uk/lokaway-lok3k-high-security-810-gun-safe/product/ http://lokawaysafe.com/products/gun-safes/lok3k-gun-safe.html It seems to meet the requirements set our by the home office of being made of a minimum 2mm steel, have internal hinges etc It also uses industry standard lock mounting points so that locks can be changed if desired to higher quality locks such as la gard digital locks however it does not carry the BS7558 Certification. It has however been tested to some form of EN14450 Does anyone have experience with this Lokaway brand and specifically in south wales?

walshie Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I use Brattonsound RD7+. They are one key, multiple locking point, vault type. No handle though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manthing Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 The easiest way to find out would be to email the fire arms dept with a link and ask them directly. If it's in writing from them it would be hard for any one to disagree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougy Posted May 11, 2019 Report Share Posted May 11, 2019 I think the lockaway give you more room at the door apature, well made and look smart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have gone with another Bratton but the price I paid was allot cheaper than best price I'd seen for the lockaway. It was from Diggle, been in the shop for yonks, they ordered it for someone but got let down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
