Hey all,
I'm looking for a fairly "cost-effective" safe that will satisfy the Police's new engineering report requirements for C/E. I already have a B cat safe for my pistols but that's too small for C/E.
Thoughts on where I should shop? The only solution at Gun City is $2700, which is steep (but no doubt a quality product).
Appreciate people's thoughts...
Outdoor supplies have an E cat one although it's a little small and you would have to confirm it fits the ever changing definition of E cat safe.
Buffalo River, Secugard and Sentrysafe Gun Safes - Hunting and Outdoor Supplies
Baronet Safes:
Baronet – TSL and Select Engineering
They should meet the criteria. There's one in the corner opposite my local Arms Officer's desk where they keep the station Bushmasters and Glocks in.
One here in Christchurch:
Endorsed Weapons Safe (A/B/C/E Category) | Trade Me
Thanks guys - some good options here. I've sent out some emails!
I've got one of those Buffalo River 10 gun E-cat safes, very good! they come with the Australian locks, not the Chinese ones... would recommend them.
This. I also have one.Quote:

Just because it's expensive that doesn't mean it's good.Quote:

$2300 for a 12 rifle cabinet not bad the ones my dad built we could match that, I could find any pictures of the safe thou.Quote:

Im (reluctantly) in the UK, and am in the process of clearing out storage we're paying dead money for... This includes my e cat safe...
It started life as an ATM safe... so this doesnt sit upright, it sits longways along the floor - this may not suit, but the checking officer was more than happy to label it as a safe, rather than a locking cabinet.
I have modified it, to stretch 1.5 m long, and fitted some lined pine 4x2 s for holding the rifles in place..
PM me if need be and can discuss...
Ill be in Auckland from 15th Feb for 12 days - it needs a new home!!!!
Otherwise I'll have to list it on TM - I hate to sell it as it suited me what I need, but no one has space to store it for me... esp with E cat requirements :(
Ill dig out some photos if I can find any...

I built a two gun E cat safe out of RSJ. It had a 5 lever mortice dead lock welded into the top on a plate, that locked it and at the bottom end a plate was welded to it, with long bolts that could be bolted through a floor joist or set into a concrete floor. a small hole for a wall fitted bolt completed the securing of it.
From memory it was 6 mil thick. Thats the minimum ( then ) Firearms had to be lowered into it from the top so it was a bit of a pain. But it cost me FA to make and passed vetting.
how about re-using a big oxy cylinder? they are certainly tall enough and bloody thick ! be a bit of a mission with hinges and a lock but i have seen ones that fail pressure testing being dumped before
Don't fuck about with hinges. Just use a lift out door, cut out of the side, that has a lip holding it at the sides and bottom and the bolt of the lock holding it at the top.Quote:

I am sure if asked he would make more, or I could help him out to get them done, dress them out nicely skin the inside so you don't see the workings.Quote:

as per photos, at the moment, its on its end, though normally sits longways... not ideal but ex ATM security, and the proper twin dial Chubb locks, cant complain...
