Combination Briefcase Locks
I am in the process of making a new case for one of my shotguns and need to be able to look it up when I travel. I have been looking at different options and the best one I have found is the "combination breifcase lock" as it is less bulky than others.
Does anybody know where I can get them, I have done a couple of internet searchers and can't seem to find anybody in Australia that sells them.
Hope somebody can help.Macca

Absolutely no idea for buying a new one. How cheap is an old brief case at vinnies?

Common Oz I want it to look half decent, with nice shiny bits.

Found these two links. Both quite pricey

Latches and Locks to keep things closed.
Found them on Alibaba.com, but min orders are around 500+, which kinda rules them out....but together with the coffee civility flowed back into him

I usually find old briefcases at salvo stores and op shops of the like. You can break the lock mech's out easy enough. Usually just some ply under the plastic coating.

Not sure how secure you need the lock but you will not secure it well using a combination lock.
Some "high security" briefcases use "coin locks" or "cam locks" some using pretty fancy cylinders. Typically the cylinder has a hook at the back and can be quite secure. Google "cam locks" or have a chat with your local locksmith. They can be as expensive as you want and there are low cost versions.

Is there a legislated (or similar) security spec for a portable gun case?
things like
material (i.e. steel, minimum 1.5mm thick)
lock strength
or is a locked canvas bag sufficient -- I'm thinking of locked mail bag
I ask because my son is interested in target shooting and I may need to start carrying a rather expensive .22 aroundregards from Alberta, Canada

The case was made by my Father-inlaw a couple of years ago it,s just 10mm pine, I will be covering it in pig hide.

As far as I know as long as the case is lockable. I have seen some people just using a gunbag with a lock on the zipper.
I do a lot of trap shooting around the state and have no trouble getting my guns on planes in a locked case.Macca
