V8landy Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 It's amazing what lots of swearing and a 3lb lump hammer can do! Thats what I thought you might say. Do you think it would survive a sutained attack with angle grinders, crow-bars and possibly a hi-lift farm jack (not that I am speaking from experince in anyway on the skills required to remove a gun cabinet that one might have lost the keys to.)

Imperfection Posted October 27, 2008 Report Share Posted October 27, 2008 I ended up borrowing a 14mm masonry drill bit from work-then realised the chuck in my cordless wasnt big enough so used my neighbours Makita drill.I can with all honestly say that should my house ever suffer from subsidence-im betting the damn cabinet will be left standing...

Fuji Shooter Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 I could have stuck mine on the wall with sellotape for all of the testing the FAO did - he opened the door and said looks like you can get three in that and left it.

reedbradshaw Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 same here, the FAO just put one hand on it gave it a slight tug...and said "thats going no where, ill put you down for 3 " FYI it is securely fixed to my ext wall through first skin of BW by 6.no bolts and in to the joists by 2.no Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
