Thread: Home made safe

IMHO, do make it all of aluminium and then fasten a multi-gun bracket at the back through to the joists. The law is satisfied and you get to keep your aluminium safe (if only as a high-spec dust cover).

I agree that it would be hard to break into, and that if someone really desperately want in they will get in - steel or no steel - but it is a matter of ticking the right legal requirements.

Agree, no doubt this cabinet will be a lot better than a wooden safe or a locked wardrobe. I would just hate to put all the time and effort into building this and have to Police decide all safes must be steel.
