Needing a new safe and going to future proof and do an ecat, came across the plans by police engineering (plan c2191) wondering if anyone has tackled one of these before, any handy tips?
Cheers

Perhaps you could post the police engineering plan c2191 so that we can analyse what they mean. Without them, your question doesn't mean a lot.
BTW, there is no longer an E category. All storage requirements are contained here: https://www.firearmssafetyauthority....e-guidance.pdf
This is the Police pdf of the C291 whatsitAttachment 220489Quote:

The door can be taken off when opened to lose a little weight when moving it - it's on farm gate pin hinges but has a full length retainer inside when closed
If I did it again I'd make it bigger (duh) and just the one internal compartment - ammo is now kept in a separate lockable area
Keep in mind that you will get to 250kg plus pretty quickly
Can recommend lining with felt or carpet and installing a goldenrod heater or oven light in a cage at the bottom to keep it warm and drive away condensation cos steel boxes sweat like a rapist
