Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Can anyone see a problem with siting my cabinet on the wall to the right of the front door as you look at it? The photo is taken looking down the stairs. Kitchen is to the left. That is not the external door. There is a large porch which is always locked. The door you can see in the photo is alarmed. As is the rest of the house. Thanks Gaz Quote Link to post
paulus 26 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 they do like them to be on an external wall and if possible out of general view Quote Link to post
SportingShooter 0 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Legally, it meets the requirements. I do think you will struggle with it there when the FEO comes to inspect it however, Is there nowhere else for it to go? Back of a wardrobe in the bedroom, cupboard under the stairs etc? I would say even the attic is better than there. Quote Link to post

HOW DARE YOU (in voice of Max from Max and Paddy!) HOW VERY DARE YOU! Haha. Thanks lads. I will have a rethink. It probably could go under the stairs to be honest. Theres not a built-in wardrobe it can go in, all wardrobes are stand alone. And i havent got an Attic, its a flat roofed property. I had a feeling it would be a no-go there but it was my preferred location. Cheers Gaz Quote Link to post
steve_7 10 Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 hi i read others experience and when feo came round it was completely different, i was allowed in loft, i was allowed on internal wall.... just waiting to see if sgc goes through and thats where it will be going, all he said was make sure it has 4 decent size bolts... m10 raw bolts, as it would be near unused chimney breast i also said about a couple there and he was more than happy so i guess its down to what county and what feo mate and the biggest surprise was he advised me to get a cheap 20quid electronic safe from b and q to store my key in hmmmmmm why go to the bother of expensive gunsafe, drilling and bolting down to have someone come in with a screwdriver and hammer and smash a little safe open for the keys.... all the best steve 1 Quote Link to post

Lab 10,979 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 And i'd put the big "f**k off" crowbar away before the FAO comes to visit............ Under the stairs would be much better... Quote Link to post
The one 8,592 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 They kind of like out of sight out of mind , mines in a cupboard on a out side wall Quote Link to post

Under the stairs would be much better... Haha yeh probably a good idea. I like my little bar by the door just incase i decide to do any home rennovation in the night Ive bolted it under the stairs last night. Its not on an outside wall though, its the wall to the lounge. Ive also put one of them little combination bolts on the door to get under the stairs, its not exactly "high security" but it just stops anyone whos visiting from opening the door...
