    So all these a cat approved cabinets like hot water cylinder cupboards that can be opened with a foot are more sturdy than an aluminium safe?

    Haven't seen one like that. But by the sounds of it no they are not.
    My concern is you go to all the effort only to have it rejected.
    Dad use to have a safe built into the floor boards with 2x4's and it past back in the day.
    Different house now and different safe.
    If your unsure and the information isn't readily available, I'd contact an AO and ask.
    But like someone already mentioned ali would most likely need to be Alot thicker and that would negate the weight savings.
    I worked in sheet metal for 4 years and cutting into ducting with a chisel was very easy, once a hole was open would move onto using tin snips.
    It would be noisy but wouldnt take long to make a hole large enough to remove your rifles.
