So I couldn't see anything on here (or anywhere, really) regarding DirtyPro tools safes in particular, so thought I'd post my experience with my recent purchase. Perhaps this may be of some use to any other newbies out there who are looking to purchase a gun safe for relatively cheap, and were looking for something new.
I settled for their 6 gun safe with the 'vault' style door, and paid £199.99 delivered. I'd initially found this one for sale through B&Q's website, but opted to purchase directly through DirtyPro tools as it was marginally cheaper, and still free delivery. DirtyPro Tools 6 Gun Cabinet Delux Model. They do a 'wood effect' version which is £10 cheaper if that floats your boat.
This one has the integrated ammunition safe in the top with a separate lock, and is listed as built to BS7558/92 so will hopefully satisfy an FEO.
Dealing with DirtyPro Tools themselves is not fantastic. I tried contacting them between purchase & delivery to ask about the delivery, and received no response. The number listed via their website rings out, and is never answered, and the same for their email address. There does seem to be another set of contact information that's available if you look through their TrustPilot reviews which may illicit a response, but in my experience, I didn't get anything back here either. They do require you to select a suitable delivery day, and you are emailed by the courier to confirm this through a booking portal. Here again, there is a messaging service where you can contact the courier, but this doesn't seem to work. There is also no contact number provided here, and the company name listed for the courier leads to dead end - the courier listed is no longer in business. It was at this stage I'd wondered if I'd fallen for some elaborate scam....
Thankfully, that was not the case, and the safe was delivered on the day I had selected, and I was messaged on the day with a delivery window to confirm when this would be. It just boiled down to their communication being a bit sub-par.
The safe itself seems good quality for £200. It comes with 4 concrete anchors, has 4 holes in the rear, and 4 in the floor of the safe.
Generally I'd say the safe is a good size, though might be a bit of a squeeze to get 6 rifles in here with scopes attached. The foam divider can be moved around freely, and is only held in place by friction. Due to the door being the vault style, it does take up additional space inside the safe, which I've found means I needed to be a touch creative when putting guns in there. I only have my air rifle at the moment, a Gamo GX-250, which seems to be quite large from the bottom of the butt of the stock to the top of the scope, so it's a bit of a squeeze.
That's about it really. Is this an excessive write up for a £200 safe? Yes, but it's always nice to find a write up on products, as it's typically what I'd look for when buying new kit. If anyone is looking to purchase one of these, or wants measurements that haven't been provided on their website, feel free to ask.
Mods - apologies if this isn't the right place, I couldn't see where else might be suitable to post.
