PLANNING YOUR CABINET CONFIGURATION
Before assembling your cabinet, review the following storage options this cabinet provides. Choose the options that best suit your storage needs.
You will need to assemble all internal components before mounting the cabinet to the wall and floor.
The partition and the top shelf create the structure for the left and right storage compartments in this cabinet. The space behind the top shelf provides clearance for longer gun barrels.
On the outside and rear walls of the left and right compartments, you can install barrel rests which will support (9) guns on each side.
The adjustable shelves can be mounted at (3) positions in the left or right compartments. Notice that when the barrel rest is mounted to the side of the cabinet, even when the shelving is installed, two of barrel rest positions extend in front of the shelves which allow you to store guns in front of the shelves.
INSTALLATION OF BARREL RESTS
THE BARREL RESTS MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE MOUNTING THE CABINET TO A WALL AND FLOOR.
Installation of Barrel Rests
Install the 4-position barrel rests (A) to the back of the cabinet and the 5-position barrel rests (B) to the sides of the cabinet as shown in figure 2.
Thread the screws into the pilot holes from the outside of the cabinet. Align the holes of the barrel rest over the tips of the screws and lightly press the barrel rest into place. Now tighten the screws from the outside of the cabinet. Tighten each screw partially, alternating from one screw to the other until they are both tight. Do not over tighten. (See figure 1)
INSTALLATION OF SHELVES
SHELVES MUST BE INSTALLED BEFORE MOUNTING THE CABINET TO A WALL AND FLOOR.
Center Partition Assembly
Lay the cabinet on its back on a protective surface.
Position the Vertical Partition carefully to align the holes on the bottom. The Center Partition has two possible positions. You should face the front flange towards the side you want to mount the shelves (See illustration below). There are also two sets of mounting holes. Line up the bottom flange of the Center Partition so that the vertical wall of the Partition is centered between the mounting holes. This will ensure that the partition is in the exact center of the cabinet, and that there is proper spacing for the shelf installation on both sides.
Install and tighten the 2 nuts and bolts as shown.
Top Shelf Assembly
The top shelf has 2 sets of holes for attaching the center partition. Use the set of holes that will allow the partition to be centered between the 2 holes. This will ensure that there is proper spacing for the shelf installation on both sides. Position the shelf so the front and side flanges point down. Assemble the top shelf to the center partition and the sides of the cabinet using 6 nuts and bolts.
Shelf Assembly
You have the choice of 3 locations for mounting the shelves. You also have the choice of having the front flange of the shelf to point up or down. Select a location and assemble each shelf to the center panel and cabinet side using 4 nuts and bolts.
Side By Side Shelf Assembly
To assemble two shelves at the same height, assemble the shelves as shown. It is important to note that you will be using the same screw to support both shelves through the Center Partition.
Tip: It may be useful to work from the left side of the cabinet and work towards the right side. We recommend not tightening the screws until both your shelves are in place.
After selecting the configuration that fits your needs, load the cabinet with your guns and equipment. If you are satisfied with your cabinet configuration, proceed with mounting the cabinet to the wall and floor as described later in these instruction.
SELECTING A LOCATION
The cabinet must be mounted to wall studs and the floor. For optimal safety
and security, the cabinet should be installed adjacent to the side wall of a
closet with minimal space on either side of the cabinet, in an isolated, dry
and secure area. The cabinet should be flat against the wall at the back of
the unit, as well as flat on the floor.
Remove the baseboard if necessary.
THE CABINET SHOULD ALWAYS BE KEPT OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
SECURING THE CABINET
Before you install the cabinet to a wall and the floor, install the interior components as described in the assembly instructions.
NOTE: This cabinet must be mounted to wall studs and the floor. Failure to do so will compromise the safety and security of the cabinet.
NOTE: The cabinet must be secured to wall studs in the top holes in the back of the cabinet so that it is anchored to the wall studs in two locations. The cabinet must also be mounted to the floor. Consult your hardware retailer for fastening hardware for your particular mounting surface.
Insert the plastic plugs in the cabinet’s top mounting holes if you are not installing the a Pistol-Ammo cabinet on the top of the security cabinet.
FOAM INSTALLATION
Place the foam on the bottom of the cabinet.
When the Center Partition is used, cut the bottom foam as shown so it fits around the partition.
INSTALLATION OF SCOPE STAND-OFF
NOTE: The scope stand-off will function properly for many combinations of guns with scopes, in many different locations.
Screw the scope stand-off into the pilot hole of the barrel rest as needed.
IMPORTANT
Keep keys away from children. Keep this record of your serial and key numbers in a secure place separate from your security cabinet. If you lose your keys you will need this information as a reference for obtaining new keys.
