I am trying to increase the security of my traditional sliding glass Gun Cabinet. I have a couple long guns in a gun cabinet that is about 30 inches wide. I am considering mounting a metal plate on the inside of either side of the cabinet with tamper resistant wood screws. The metal plates each have a metal "staple" that accepts a pad lock. I plan to secure the 2 ends of a case hardened chain with similarly keyed padlocks to the plates on either side of the cabinet. Then I will run the chain (with felt cover) through the trigger guards of each gun to keep them from being easily removed from the cabinet without unlocking one of the pad locks. I do realize that this is a rather "Rube Goldberg" way to secure the guns, but does anyone see any actual technical or functional problems with this approach? Thanks, George
