Nice looking gun cabinets

[Rake Aboot]

Anyone got one ?
A gun cabinet that’s more furniture than steel grey box ?
Planning ahead and looking at loosing a cupboard so having a good looking gun cabinet might be better than finding somewhere else to hide the massive safe I have at present .

There is an odd guy or two who makes them ( they aint cheap). Always something i have thought of building one ( I have made quite a few steel safes and gunrooms in the past), however the first rule in security is storing in a place hidden from casual observers ( so what is the point in a nice safe that's hidden away ?)

 

[Rake Aboot]

The point is it doesn’t look like a gun safe

I just built a cupboard around my gunsafe. Just looks like a wardrobe.

There’s the Rolls Royce option:

The Bespoke Gun Cabinet Company - Custom Gun Rooms

We are the UK's leading manufacturer of Bespoke Gun Cabinets & Gun Rooms. We have created a huge range of cabinets to suit the interior of any home.

www.thebespokeguncabinetcompany.co.uk

Although their stuff is more about showing guns off rather than hiding them away, they do have a few discrete options (eg the Bench Seat model). Worth having a look at the “Stock Items” page as they’re often offered at a bit of discount relative to having one made to your spec.

A more wallet friendly option would be having something made by these guys who were at the Game Fair last year: Unit Eight Bespoke Joinery | Workshop between Bristol & Bath

They effectively build wardrobes / cupboards that incorporate standard Brattonsound-type safes that are then hidden away behind wooden doors etc.

Their website doesn’t seem to have any pictures but, if you’re on Instagram, worth a look at their “Shows” highlights reel and clicking through until you get to the right place (about 3/4 of the way through).

I solved it by buying a bigger house so now I have one cabinet in the hunting gear room and one in the target shooting room in between I have the laundry room what I dont use so much so if I like I could rebuild it to a third hobby room.

Are any of them nice looking gun safes ?

Bought one secondhand off SD and have taken it apart to relive the insides, tidy up the woodwork and to potentially paint it (think Farrow and Ball) so it’s a better match for the rest of the house. That was to be a "Summer" project and just have not got around to it but I intend to as its a good 7 rifle plus cabinet with a second lockable compartment.

My mate has one. £6k new, got it second hand for about £750 a few years back. Decent bit of kit can't remember the maker, secure and looked nice. Had glass front. Worth £750 but not £6k would be my view

I’ve just painted mine white. Does that count?

That wouldn’t be too hard to make actually

Looks nice that, not over the top either.

i have a beautiful 100% cedar gun cabinet. i had to buy it from a custom cabinet maker which taught me take your drawing of what you want to a custom cabinet maker, select your wood and you will be happy with the results versus trying to find a completed work

 

[Rare Breed]

i paid $750 US

Anthony and his team do some amazing work, they are not cheap but are beautiful pieces of furniture to last a lifetime. Cannot recommend highly enough if you want something that’s both very secure and good looking.
