Gun Room Security Doors

If you’re converting a room in your home to a gun room or currently have a Gun Room, security must be your primary concern.

This shouldn’t just be a case of installing a locked gun cabinet. For one thing, many of the most popular cabinets are glass-fronted to keep your guns – often a much-loved investment – on display. While these cabinets should still be lockable, they’re a last line of security only.

The purpose of having a gun room is to increase the security of your Shotguns, Fire Arms and Ammo, which means that it’s important to make sure the room itself is secure.  Guns can be very expensive, have sentimental value and of course very dangerous in the wrong hands.   As a Gun License Holder you are responsible for the Security of your guns.  You may also benefit from reduced insurance premiums from these added precautions – check your policy.

‘Under the Firearms Rules 1998, a prescribed safekeeping condition is attached to all firearm and shotgun certificates. It is an offence not to comply with these conditions. The maximum penalty for this offence can be up to 6 months in prison, or a fine, or both. The safekeeping condition attached to firearms or shotgun certificates requires that the guns and section 1 ammunition must be stored securely to prevent, so far as is reasonably practicable, unauthorised people taking or using them. Any other person who does not hold a firearm or shotgun certificate is included in the term ‘unauthorised’. When a gun or section 1 ammunition is being used or the holder has the gun with him for some purpose connected with its use, transfer or sale, reasonable precautions must be taken for the safe custody of the gun(s) and section 1 ammunition. The condition does not apply to the ammunition for a shotgun. However, as a matter of common sense, you should take reasonable precautions for its safe custody.’
