There are only guidelines on the fitting of the cabinet and each area may have a different view so it is best to check with your local FAO before you start drilling holes.

They also like to see window locks, dead locks on the doors and house alarms around here although, again, there is no specific requirement for them.

This is true. It's entirely up to the local officer.

I was amazed by the whole process really. The guy wasn't really in my house for long, didn't ask about my home security, and looked at my cabinet for about 2 seconds, and then just had a general chat to me for 10 minutes and said everything was fine and I should get my licence in about a week or so.

I'm just speculating wildly here, but I got the distinct impression he was far more interested in briefly ascertaining what sort of person I was, rather than the exact details of how I would be storing my guns.

Well that's just common sense really. At the end of the day, if someone wanted to steal guns from a house, they would. Pretty much no matter what security you have.
