Brattonsound Sentinel Plus SS5+ Gun Safe Installed in Wandsworth

(case study 01610)

Why the Brattonsound Sentinel Plus SS5+ Was Recommended

London & Home Counties Safes recently supplied and professionally installed a Brattonsound Sentinel Plus SS5+ Gun Safe for a certificate holder in Wandsworth, South-West London SW18. The customer required police-approved storage for up to five shotguns or rifles, discreetly positioned inside a deep fitted wardrobe.

The Sentinel Plus SS5+ is built and tested to exceed the requirements of BS 7558:1992. Its tall, narrow dimensions made it suitable for the available wardrobe space, while its fully welded steel construction, reinforced door, five-point locking system and full-length anti-jemmy bar provide robust protection against attack.

The cabinet measures approximately 1515mm high, 268mm wide and 271mm deep and weighs around 38kg. Inside, a high-density foam divider helps keep the stored guns upright, while the internal top shelf provides useful storage space for smaller accessories.

Gun Safe Installation Inside a Deep Fitted Wardrobe

Discretion was an important part of this installation. The tall, slim cabinet was integrated into the left-hand section of the deep fitted wardrobe, allowing it to remain concealed from general view while still being accessible to the certificate holder.

Our installation team used all four rear fixing holes to secure the cabinet into the masonry wall behind the wardrobe with expanding anchors. Two additional strong screws were installed through the base fixing holes and into the wardrobe floor.

The four rear masonry anchors provided the principal structural fixing, while the two base screws added further stability within the wardrobe. This six-point fixing arrangement securely anchored the cabinet and helped resist levering and removal without affecting the neat appearance of the fitted furniture.

Seven-Lever Lock Demonstration and Customer Handover

Once the cabinet had been securely installed, we demonstrated the seven-lever double-throw key lock and showed the customer how to operate the door and locking system correctly.

We also discussed sensible key security and the importance of ensuring that cabinet keys remain accessible only to authorised certificate holders. The customer was shown the internal gun divider and top shelf so that the cabinet could be organised safely and conveniently.

The Brattonsound Sentinel Plus range is widely used for police-approved firearm and shotgun storage. Final storage requirements can depend on the individual property, the firearms held and the relevant police firearms licensing authority, so customers should confirm any specific requirements before purchasing.

About Wandsworth

Wandsworth is a major district of South-West London centred within the SW18 postcode. It stretches from the River Thames towards Wandsworth Common and is bordered by Putney to the west, Battersea to the east and Earlsfield to the south. The area combines established residential streets, commercial centres, riverside developments and extensive green spaces.

The name Wandsworth is connected with the River Wandle, which meets the Thames in the district. The settlement was recorded in the Domesday Book, and the fast-flowing River Wandle later supported a wide range of mills and industries. Wandsworth also became home to Huguenot craftspeople, whose specialist skills contributed to the area’s textile and manufacturing history.

One of Wandsworth’s best-known industrial landmarks was the Ram Brewery, which operated on the site for centuries. The former brewery buildings now form part of the Ram Quarter, combining preserved architecture with homes, shops and riverside public spaces.

Wandsworth Common provides a large area of woodland, ponds and walking routes, while King George’s Park offers gardens, sports facilities and open space close to the River Wandle. Old York Road and the surrounding streets contain independent cafés, restaurants and shops, helping the area retain a distinct local character.

Wandsworth is an important South-West London service area for London & Home Counties Safes. We supply and professionally install gun cabinets, home safes and higher-security safes throughout Wandsworth, Putney, Earlsfield, Southfields, Battersea and surrounding SW18 areas.
