Gun Safe Installation AL9 Brookmans Park
Brattonsound Sentinel Plus RL7+ Fitted in Hatfield
(case study 02481)
This gun safe installation was in Brookmans Park, Hatfield (AL9), we fitted a Brattonsound Sentinel Plus RL7+ gun safe, a top-tier choice for owners requiring secure storage for up to seven scoped rifles. This model is engineered to exceed the BS 7558/92 security standard, featuring a vault-style door with a 5-point locking system and a full-length anti-jemmy bar for superior physical protection. As shown in the photos, the safe’s slim, vertical profile allowed us to integrate it seamlessly into a white fitted wardrobe, ensuring the unit remains discreetly hidden from view while remaining easily accessible for the user.
The installation was designed to meet the strict requirements mandated by local Firearms Officers for certificate compliance. To achieve this, we utilized a comprehensive anchoring strategy involving four fixing holes at the rear and two in the base. We secured the rear of the safe through the rear of the wardrobe and into the structural masonry wall using high-strength expanding anchor bolts to provide maximum pull-out resistance. The base was then firmly screwed into the wood floor of the wardrobe to eliminate any leverage points. The photo to the right provides a clear view of the open safe within the wardrobe, demonstrating how the unit is structurally tied to the building's core.
The Sentinel Plus RL7+ is particularly valued for its internal organizational features, which include a high-density foam barrel rest and a separate internal locking top box for ammunition or bolts. This internal configuration, visible in the two botton photos (click to see enlarged image), ensures that firearms and ammunition are stored securely and separately as per legal guidelines. The safe is operated by two high-security 7-lever double-bitted key locks, providing a traditional and highly reliable defense.

Brookmans Park is a premier village in the AL9 postcode of North Mymms, Hertfordshire, situated between the larger towns of Potters Bar and Hatfield. It is widely regarded as one of the most desirable commuter villages in the Home Counties, offering a peaceful, semi-rural environment that remains remarkably well-connected to London. The village is anchored by its own railway station, which sits on the Great Northern route, providing direct services to London King’s Cross and Moorgate with a journey time of approximately 35 to 40 minutes. For motorists, the village is strategically placed near the intersection of the A1(M) and the M25 motorway, allowing for easy travel across the South East and providing a convenient link to both Heathrow and Luton airports. The area’s heritage is rooted in the grand 14th-century Brookmans estate, which for centuries was the primary seat of local power and once home to Lord Somers, the Lord Chancellor to King William III. The current village is a classic example of early 20th-century speculative development; after the original manor house was destroyed by fire in 1891, the estate was sold to developers in 1923. They envisioned a high-end "garden village" that integrated modern housing with the pre-existing natural landscape. A fascinating chapter in its history began in 1929 when the BBC established the Brookmans Park Transmitting Station. This facility was a global pioneer in broadcasting, serving as the site for the world’s first simultaneous transmission of two radio programs and hosting early experimental television tests. The village also boasts a whimsical link to folklore, as Moffats Farm is traditionally cited as the home of Dr. Thomas Muffet, the entomologist believed to have inspired the nursery rhyme Little Miss Muffet. Local life in Brookmans Park revolves around Bradmore Green, a charming cluster of independent shops, cafes, and traditional amenities that maintain a village atmosphere. The Brookmans pub serves as a central social hub, offering a sophisticated gastropub experience in the heart of the community. For those seeking outdoor recreation, Gobions Wood Nature Reserve is a significant local treasure; it is an ancient woodland managed by the Herts and Middlesex Wildlife Trust, featuring the historic Folly Arch and remnants of 18th-century ornamental pleasure grounds. Golfers are well-served by the Brookmans Park Golf Club, where the clubhouse is cleverly housed in the estate's former stable block. The surrounding countryside is crisscrossed by public footpaths, including routes through the North Mymms Park and toward the nearby Royal Veterinary College. While the village itself is a sanctuary of quiet luxury, it serves as an ideal base for exploring major nearby attractions such as Hatfield House, the historic city of St Albans, and the various nature trails of the Potters Bar fringe.
