Removing The Foam Lining & Stowing Your Guns In Their Slips Enables You To Carry More Guns In The Auto Sentinel
VEHICLE USE
Vehicle Brackets - For Easy Release (Supplied As Standard). 4 fixing brackets, which are permanently fitted to the vehicle, to align with any 4 of the 8 fixing holes in the back of the Auto Sentinel. The brackets are fitted inside the vehicle, to the bodywork, and 4 small holes need to be cut through the carpet. The gunsafe is then easily secured to, and removed from, the vehicle by the use of 4 bolts (supplied) that can only be accessed by opening the Auto Sentinel. Removing the gunsafe leaves just 4 small brackets in the vehicle. Depending on the carpet thickness these brackets will either fit flush, or slightly protrude through the carpet.
Permanent Vehicle Fixing. If you are unlikely to frequently remove the Auto Sentinel from your vehicle you might prefer to bolt straight through 4 of the 8 fixing holes without using the Vehicle Brackets.
HOME USE
Home-Fixing Bracket - For Easy Release (Optional Extra). Fit the Home-Fixing Bracket in your house and the Auto Sentinel can then be secured to, and removed from, the bracket by 4 bolts (supplied) that can only be accessed by opening the gunsafe. The Home-Fixing Bracket is ideal for the shooter who wants just one gunsafe for home and vehicle use.
Permanent Fixing. Dependent on the location of the gunsafe, and the type of floor, it might be acceptable to secure straight to your floor by using 4 or more of the 8 fixing holes in the back of the Auto Sentinel. As the police have to satisfy themselves that the gunsafe is securely fitted, we suggest that you discuss this with your inspecting officer before doing it. Alternatively you can drill extra fixing holes in the side or end of the gunsafe, so that it can also be secured to the wall.

Vehicle Security
If using the Auto Sentinel in a vehicle it is the users responsibility to ensure that a competent person properly fits the fixing brackets and/or gunsafe bearing in mind safety and security: Safety: The vehicle brackets must be fitted in a way that does not jeopardise the integrity of the vehicle, or invalidate any vehicle warranty. For example the drill and/or fixing screws must not pierce the petrol tank, hydraulic pipes or wiring etc.
As each vehicle is different each will require its own fitting solution. However, the Auto Sentinel has a choice of 8 securing holes in the back, to be aligned with the 4 fixing brackets in the vehicle, and this gives plenty of choice when positioning the brackets. Security: The brackets must be securely fixed to the vehicle for optimum security from the Auto Sentinel; there is little point in locking your guns away if the gunsafe is easily stolen from the vehicle.
