We like to differentiate between cabinets and safes when advising customers on the most appropriate storage solution for them. We view cabinets as exactly that. They are often engineered from sheet steel and feature an appropriate locking mechanism that meet or exceed the minimum requirements for Police approval. Gun safes on the other hand offer a much superior storage solution. They generally offer a higher level of security and come with external accreditations that are more likely to meet the specific ratings required by insurance companies. We would always recommend that you first gain insight into your individual storage requirements. There’s little advantage to spending time searching for a gun cabinet that meets the basic requirements for Police approval when you intend to store a £25,000 shotgun that you intend to have insured. In this case, it would be much wiser to purchase what we would define as a ‘gun safe’. Secondly, we’d recommend always purchasing a cabinet or safe that exceeds your current storage requirements. If you have 3 shotguns, consider purchasing a cabinet that can hold at least 5. This way, you’re ensuring room for future purchases.

Yes. All of our electronic gun cabinets feature robust digital locking keypads that allow you to easily and simply change or update the access code within minutes. Follow the manufactures instructions that come with the cabinet for specific details, but in general, you will usually need the master default code or the door open. Having an issue changing the access code yourself? – Send us a message and one of our safe experts will be in touch shortly.

In order for a cabinet to be ‘Police approved’, it needs to either meet or exceed the requirements of BS 7558. It can sometimes be difficult to ensure when purchasing a cabinet online that the cabinet has been manufactured to the minimum required standards – which is why it is so important to buy from a reputable retailer in the first place. Provided a cabinet has been manufactured to the standards of BS 7558, there’s no reason why it shouldn’t be approved by your local Police force at the time of inspection, provided you have installed it correctly. As the UK’s largest online retailer of gun cabinets, you can be assured that each and every one of our cabinets meet or in most cases exceed the requirements of BS 7558 for Police approval – just take a look at our Police Approved Guarantee.

All electronic gun cabinets will have a secondary bypass mechanism to ensure you can still gain access regardless of your keypad being inoperable due to the batteries draining down. The batteries to your digital keypad can sometimes be accessed from the front with the door closed, whilst others will require you to access the cabinet using the supplied override manual key to change the batteries. Every cabinet is different so it’s important to follow the manufactures instructions.

We sell a number of fireproof gun cabinets to meet the specific requirements of many insurance providers. Where one our cabinets or gun safes is shown to have a fire rating, this will have been independently certified by the manufacture. Fire ratings differ between cabinets, with many commonly offering up to 30 minutes at a specified temperature. For more information, consult the product page for specific details, or contact one of our experts who will be happy to advise further.

It is important that you supply a contact telephone number during the checkout for the courier to use should they require it.
