Cabinets positioning

#1 Post by Richie69 »

Hello ,
Another topic has got me thinking about cabinets and where they can be positioned.

I have regular 4 bed detached property with a large detached double garage , half of which has been sectioned off & converted into an office , the house and office are alarmed .

My thoughts were to have the safe in the office but is that acceptable ? will North York’s police insist on having them in the house ... and as a result the loft as that will be insisted on by the Mrs.

Any suggestions ?

Lifted from the Firearms security handbook:

Under most circumstances, it is preferable that firearms should be secured within the occupied part of the structure. Separate, detached buildings, or those attached but having only external access (eg outhouses, garages etc) should not be used unless the levels of security warrant it. If used, these could also be protected by an intruder alarm linked to the household.

In some modern houses, thermal block is used for the inner skin of main walls. This does not provide as substantial an anchorage point for security devices as those that can divide integral garages from living areas, for example. (Integral garages mean those built within the dwelling and providing internal door(s) to the other living areas). Whilst not usually a suitable location, if a garage is secured to the level of recommendations set out in paragraphs 2.36 to 2.46 of this Handbook then this option should be considered. It should, however, be considered as an option only after reviewing all other locations within the inhabited part of the premises.

I’ve found North Yorks to be jolly helpful - a call will probably answer it better :)

The handbook if you don’t have it to hand:
