The legal bits and pieces will be drilled into me by our gun club and local police (fixing place, instructions, lock types etc).
I was just wondering if all the makes of safes are similar. Best not to post any specific details though. I have often wondered about the keys, no doubt I'll find out.
Yes all of the makes are simmilar they all assure police acceptance and i am confident they wold all get it there would be no point in producing a cabinet that wouldnt meet the standards the police require
No, actually they are not. Rifle safes are deeper than shotgun safes (because of the scope).
I would recommend one with an internal, lockable ammo box (not for ammo as they are generally too small), but to store the rifle bolts as they have to be kept seperate from the weapons.
Mine have single locks, but have two one inch stainless bolts through each end and side of the door (like a safe).

I disagree. It goes against the spirit of the law to have a lockable ammo box within the gunsafe. Any berk breaking in will have the box free in seconds with a jemmy, and then he gets away with guns, plus either bolts or ammo. They should be in different rooms.
