Gun Safes UK: Firearm, Shotgun and Rifle Cabinets
Secure Firearm and Shotgun Storage Cabinets
Gun safes provide secure storage for firearms, shotguns, rifles and ammunition. Also known as firearm cabinets or shotgun safes, they help licensed owners restrict unauthorised access, support responsible UK firearm storage and help with local firearms licensing checks when correctly selected, fixed and used.
Gun safes are specialist safes for firearm, shotgun and ammunition storage. They sit within our wider safe and security storage range, but this page is focused on firearm cabinets, shotgun safes, rifle storage and secure gun cabinet options.

Gun Safe Storage and UK Guidance
Gun safes are used to restrict unauthorised access to firearms, shotguns, rifles and ammunition. In the UK, secure storage is normally assessed by the local firearms licensing officer, so the cabinet, fixing position and premises all matter.
Choosing a Firearm Storage Cabinet
Choose a gun safe based on the number of firearms stored, the internal height required, the lock type and whether ammunition needs a separate lockable compartment. It is often sensible to allow spare capacity for future certificate changes or additional equipment.
Fixing and Installation
Most gun safes are designed to be fixed to a solid wall, floor or building structure. Avoid visible locations that can be seen from windows or public areas. The correct fixing method depends on the surface, cabinet weight and site conditions.
Firearm storage requirements can vary depending on the certificate holder, premises and local firearms licensing assessment. Always follow the advice of your local firearms licensing officer. For more detail, read our UK gun safe installation guide.
Gun Safe FAQs
What is a gun safe?
A gun safe is a secure cabinet designed to store firearms, shotguns, rifles or ammunition. In the UK, gun safes are also commonly called firearm cabinets, shotgun cabinets, rifle cabinets or gun cabinets. The correct cabinet depends on the firearm type, storage capacity, internal dimensions, fixing position and local firearms licensing assessment.
Do I need a BS 7558 gun safe?
BS 7558 is commonly referenced as a recognised UK construction standard for gun cabinets. A BS 7558 gun safe or equivalent firearm cabinet may help support secure firearm storage, but final suitability can depend on the firearm type, certificate holder, premises, fixing position and local firearms licensing assessment.
What size gun safe do I need?
Choose a gun safe with enough internal height, usable depth and capacity for your current firearms, shotguns or rifles. Allow extra space for scopes, moderators, accessories and possible future certificate changes. If you need storage for several firearms, see our large gun safes.
What is the difference between a gun safe, firearm cabinet and shotgun cabinet?
Gun safe is the broader buying term. A firearm cabinet is a secure cabinet for firearms, while a shotgun cabinet is normally selected for shotgun storage. Rifle cabinets may need extra internal height or depth, especially for scoped rifles. The right option depends on what you need to store and the internal cabinet dimensions.
Do I need separate ammunition storage?
Some gun safes include a lockable internal ammunition compartment. In other cases, a separate ammunition cabinet may be more suitable. Check your certificate conditions and local firearms licensing advice before choosing ammunition storage. See our ammunition cabinets.
Where should a gun safe be installed?
Gun safes are usually fixed to a solid wall, floor or structural point. Avoid obvious visible locations, especially areas visible from windows or public spaces. The correct fixing method depends on the building surface, cabinet weight, fixing points and site conditions. For more detail, read our UK gun safe installation guide.
Can I store scoped rifles in a gun safe?
Scoped rifles may need a deeper or wider rifle cabinet than standard shotguns. Before ordering, check the internal depth, door opening, gun rests, ammunition compartment position and usable height. Allow space for scopes, moderators and accessories so the cabinet remains practical for day-to-day use.
Are gun safes suitable for multiple firearms?
Yes. Multi-gun safes and larger firearm cabinets are available for several shotguns, rifles or accessories. When choosing a larger gun safe, check the stated capacity, internal dimensions, fixing points, cabinet weight, delivery access and whether separate ammunition storage is required.
What should I check before ordering a gun safe?
Before ordering, check the internal height, usable depth, number of firearms, lock type, fixing points, cabinet weight, delivery access and whether ammunition needs separate storage. Final firearm storage suitability may depend on the certificate holder, premises, fixing position and local firearms licensing assessment.
