Thread: Rules of installing a gun safe/rack

Hi
All the guideline are on the police website , basicly must be bolted to concrete floor by 2x6mm Rawl bolts and bolted to wall by 2 x 6mm bolts . They are guide lines as to what is acceptable .

Secure storage guidance for firearms is the name of the document Quote: "The cabinet should be fixed to the building on two surfaces with at least 6 mm fasteners and
fastened to a rigid surface or support such as concrete, brick or through plaster board to a stud or dwang. Fasteners of 6mm x 75mm long will ensure at least 50mm of thread is engaged in the rigid support. Use heavy gauge ‘coach’ screws anchored by at least 50mm and a large washer placed under each coach screw head into the framing. If secured into concrete, use similar gauge chemical or expanding bolts. Floor fixing to a wooden floor to be completely through the floor. The bolts should have a stout backing plate or sufficiently large washers to prevent them from being pulled through the floor"
