Are there acceptible gun safes

Hi All

Would anyone know if these are any good for storing guns? Will they scrape by or are they actually good? Hard to tell from the advert. Link below

TIA

It certainly appears to be OK for A category provided it was bolted down (2 surfaces)

There's one for sale here if it hasn't already gone.

I have the smaller 5 gun version of this safe and it’s decent. Wouldn’t call it super heavy duty but I would be very surprised if someone said it wasn’t up to scratch. Have it bolted to wall and floor and it’s rock solid. Would be happy to recommend

I've just made a plywood cabinet as per their guide and it passed no worries( it was for a mate who isn't planning on getting any firearms but needed a cabinet for the licensing part)

The steel gun safes for sale in the shops have all been individually Police approved for the categories advertised (ie: 6mm steel for cats B, C, P).

Tip:

whenever you see a shop on trademe, google if you can find their online shop.

trademe are a bunch of ***** that charge ridiculous fees and often online shop prices will be cheaper. If not, at least you have not given $ to tm...

how does the lock work? I.e. can you open those saves when there are no batteries in it? I hate stuff that relies on electricity...

They have a key also. I like the keypad though cos I can never find my keys in a hurry...

I keep my single shot in my safe with a trigger lock as there is no bolt to be removed and stored, just me being pedantic I guess
