Gun cabinet requirements UK

No law says you need to own a gun cabinet specifically, but the rules on firearm storage in the UK are crystal clear: failure to secure your weapon properly when it’s not in use can be met with penalties including fines, the confiscation of your weapons, and even time in prison.

If you’re on the hunt for a gun cabinet to keep your weapons out of sight and out of mind, here are a few things to know:

• The Firearms Act 1968 requires all gun owners to store their weapons as securely as possible, so keeping them in a cupboard or shed simply won’t cut it.

• Gun cabinets and safes are widely considered the gold standard in civilian firearm storage.

• Speaking of ‘standards’, it’s highly advised for your gun cabinet to meet British Standards (BS7558), which include recommendations for locking mechanisms, material thickness, welding, and more – you’ll find plenty of those here at eSafes.

• Gun cabinets must be securely fixed to a hard surface to prevent theft. 

• Keys need to be kept by the certificate holder only – passing them onto anyone else is a criminal offence.

Why are gun cabinets so effective?

• Robust builds - Materials like galvanised steel make breaking into a gun safe highly difficult. 

• Ultra-strong construction - Because these materials are welded or bent, there are fewer seams - or “weak points” - for thieves to take advantage of.

• Anti-theft locking mechanisms - By housing the locking mechanisms within the safe itself, they’re less prone to attack.

• Protected hinges - The same is true for hinges which, on traditional cabinets, could be manipulated. This isn’t the case with the most reliable gun cabinets.

• Storage options - With internal options for racking rifles and similar arms, the chances of your weapons falling within the cabinet are greatly reduced.

• Other features - Advancements like fire and water resistance and alarm integration are available on select models.
