Gun Safes and Ammunition Safes

Gun Safe Supplier and Installer

Lincoln Security supplies and installs secure gun cabinets and ammunition safes for domestic, sporting and professional environments.

Our range includes secure cabinets for shotguns, rifles and other lawfully held firearms, together with dedicated ammunition storage and larger-capacity solutions.

Whether you require storage for a single sporting firearm or a larger collection, we can help you select an appropriate cabinet, capacity and locking arrangement before installing it securely in a suitable location.

Secure Storage for Firearms and Ammunition

Firearms and shotguns held on certificate must be stored securely to prevent, so far as reasonably practicable, access by unauthorised people. The most appropriate security arrangements can vary according to the firearms being stored, their quantity and the individual premises.

Our gun safes provide purpose-built secure storage, with a choice of sizes, internal configurations and locking options.

From compact cabinets for individual sporting guns through to higher-capacity storage for multiple firearms, we can recommend a solution suited to both your requirements and the available installation space.

What Can Be Stored in a Gun Safe?

Gun cabinets can be used for a wide variety of legally held firearms and shooting equipment. The appropriate cabinet will depend on what is being stored, its dimensions and the level of security required.

Licensing requirements differ depending on the firearm and where in the UK it is held. For example, England and Wales have different rules for some air weapons than Scotland, and Northern Ireland has its own firearms licensing system.

They may be suitable for:

Shotguns
Sporting rifles
Target rifles
Rimfire rifles
Centre-fire rifles
Air rifles and air weapons where secure storage is required
Scoped rifles
Ammunition
Firearm accessories
Optics and related equipment
Cleaning and maintenance equipment
Multiple-firearm collections

Gun Cabinets with Internal Ammunition Storage

For customers who want an organised all-in-one solution, selected gun cabinets are available with a separate lockable internal ammunition compartment.

These can provide convenient storage for firearms and ammunition within a single outer cabinet while maintaining separate internal areas.

Different cabinet sizes and configurations are available according to the number and type of firearms being stored.

High-Capacity Gun Safes

For larger firearm collections, estates, clubs and professional environments, high-capacity cabinets provide increased storage while maintaining controlled access.

Larger models can accommodate multiple shotguns or rifles together with related equipment, with different internal layouts available depending on the application.

Where the number or type of firearms increases the security risk, Home Office guidance provides for progressively higher levels of security rather than treating every installation identically.

For these installations, we can assess both the proposed cabinet and the wider location before recommending a suitable solution.

Professional and Commercial Firearm Storage

Lincoln Security can also provide secure-storage solutions for organisations that lawfully possess firearms or ammunition as part of their activities.

Depending on the necessary licences and permissions, this can include requirements associated with:

Registered firearms dealers
Shooting clubs
Estates and gamekeeping operations
Training or sporting facilities
Museums and galleries
Other authorised commercial or professional users

Gun Safe Features

Gun safes and firearm cabinets are available with a range of security and storage features, allowing the cabinet to be selected around the firearms, premises and preferred method of access.

The exact specification will depend on the cabinet selected and the security requirements of the installation.

Available features may include:

Robust steel construction
Multi-point locking
Key-operated locks
Electronic locking on selected models
Separate ammunition compartments
Adjustable internal shelving
Protective firearm supports
Multiple-firearm capacities
Internal storage for accessories
Wall fixing
Floor fixing

Choosing the Right Size Gun Safe

Choosing the right cabinet is not simply a case of counting the number of firearms you currently own.

The length and type of firearms, fitted scopes, internal ammunition storage and likely future requirements should all be considered.

A slightly larger cabinet can often provide considerably more practical storage than one selected only around current capacity.

We can advise on cabinet dimensions and internal layouts before ordering, helping ensure that the selected safe is suitable for both the firearms and the proposed installation location.

Dedicated Ammunition Cabinets

If you require separate storage for ammunition, we can supply dedicated ammunition cabinets designed specifically for secure and organised storage.

These cabinets provide a practical option where ammunition is to be stored independently from firearms, with different sizes available to suit domestic, sporting, club and professional requirements.

Depending on the model, features can include robust steel construction, electronic locking and secure wall or floor fixing.

Dedicated ammunition cabinets can be supplied on their own or alongside a gun or rifle cabinet as part of a complete firearm storage solution.

Professional Gun Safe Installation

Lincoln Security provides a complete gun-safe supply and installation service.

Our team can assess the proposed location, discuss the firearms and storage capacity involved and recommend a suitable cabinet and fixing arrangement.

Once selected, your cabinet can be delivered, positioned and securely installed through our service.

The Home Office security handbook emphasises both the construction of the cabinet and the way it is secured to the building, so installation should be considered as part of the overall security arrangement rather than as an afterthought.

For larger collections, clubs, estates and commercial requirements, we can also advise on more extensive secure-storage arrangements.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size gun safe do I need?

The correct size depends on the number and type of firearms you intend to store, their overall length and whether they are fitted with scopes or other accessories.

It is often worthwhile allowing some additional capacity rather than choosing a cabinet that is already full from day one.

Do gun safes need to be fixed to the building?

A secure cabinet normally needs to form part of an effective overall security arrangement. Appropriate fixing depends on the cabinet, building construction and circumstances of the installation.

We can assess the proposed location and install the cabinet using an appropriate fixing method, taking account of Home Office security guidance.

Can ammunition be stored in a gun safe?

Yes, suitable cabinets can include a separate internal ammunition compartment, and standalone ammunition safes are also available.

The legal controls differ between firearm ammunition and shotgun cartridges, so customers should follow their certificate conditions and current police/Home Office guidance.

Do you install gun safes?

Yes. Lincoln Security can supply, deliver and professionally install gun cabinets and ammunition safes.

We can also advise on the proposed cabinet location and fixing arrangements before installation.

Where should a gun safe be installed?

The most appropriate location depends on the property, cabinet and overall security circumstances.

Rather than relying on a generic location recommendation, we can assess the premises and advise on a discreet and secure position suitable for effective fixing.

The final security arrangements remain subject to the certificate holder’s responsibilities and, where applicable, police assessment.
