How do they compare quality wise with BrattonSound?
From seeing/handling friends Brattonsound cabinets i'd say they're comparable in quality of finish etc. The main thing you notice on a cabinet/safe however is the door and they use different door types so its hard to get an exact like-for-like comparison. I much prefer the single key/vault style door INFAC cabinets have though as to me it seems much more secure.
Its not without its downsides though as if one of the bars gets jammed the door can be 'permanently' locked open or closed. This has happened to me before, fortunately when the door was open. A little gentle persuasion with a rubber mallet was all it took to fix it. Now every once and a while I give all of the bars a 'spin' with my fingers to make sure they're not binding to the casing.
EDIT: I'm waiting to hear back from the police whether the locations I've suggested for a 2nd cabinet would be at all suitable. Amazingly when I brought this up with the wife she was more keen on just replacing the existing cabinet with a bigger one, and using savings money to do it
Supposedly because she doesn't want another space in the house taken up by an "ugly metal box" but my suspicions are thoroughly raised.....
