Leicester hunter 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 As i may need to upgrade by cab, can these be installed in a loft, bolted to the main brick wall inbetween houses? The loft is alarmed with pir's as is the house. Quote Link to post
Jkm 1 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 hi i would ring your FAO he will tell you or come round and have a look, but i don't see why not. Quote Link to post
crumblyned 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 AS above contact your FAO. You can put it in the loft if you fix it correctly, BUT if the loft is not heated I would look elsewhere. Ned Quote Link to post
rainger 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 I have mine in the loft bolted to a brick wall and no problem for the firearms officer. The only question they raise is if access isn't good then they believe you may be inclined not to use every time you take then gun out because of the hassle factor. Quote Link to post
Leicester hunter 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 access to the loft is easy, and have full flooring and lighting. Query about the heat though? my current location is very cold even though inside the house, is this a major issue? Quote Link to post
waidmann 105 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i think the problem may be moisture on/in the cabinet. cheers Quote Link to post
Leicester hunter 0 Posted February 7, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 i think the problem may be moisture on/in the cabinet. cheers i do use silica gel packs currently, so maybe ill just continue this method. Not happy about installing heating in loft! Only want to move because current location is too small for a 4-5 gun cab, and want it completely out of sight of the kids. Quote Link to post
jamie g 17 Posted February 7, 2010 Report Share Posted February 7, 2010 some people fit a low what bulb in the cabinet the heat from it is enough to keep damp out and keep guns fine Quote Link to post
RicW 67 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Or a greenhouse heater Quote Link to post
jackinbox99 41 Posted February 8, 2010 Report Share Posted February 8, 2010 Or a greenhouse heater Nothing too hot tho, else the thermal imaging on the police helicopter might make them think you are growing things you shouldnt in your loft.... I dont see any problem with the cabinet in the loft. I know someone who has done just this without any problems. Quote Link to post
