Simple stick on clothes hooks (Command I think the brand was) and strong magnets is all I used for the guns on the door!

In here are;

Barak Bora BR99 box mag shotgun
Spare lower receiver/stock for BR99 (on accessory shelf)
Benelli M2 shotgun (on door)
GSG 1911 pistol (on door)
S&W 15-22 rifle (Scoped)
Walter/H&K MP5 rifle/SMG clone
Browning Cynergy O/U shotgun
Unknown make SbS shotgun
CSA VZ58 rifle (scoped)
Steyr SSG04 rifle (scoped)
3 sound moderators

And there's still space for more, all in an advertised 8/9 gun cabinet! shakeshout

Are the hooks?

Command Wire Hook with Strips - Large, White https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000FCGRPA/ ... Wyb5XDK2C8

Also, where did the magnets come from?, you have achieved exactly what I have been looking to do.

Yes those are the ones. :good: There are actually two holding the shotgun, one in the trigger guard and the other in the barrel. I got the magnets from Ebay. Just search for 'Rare Earth Magnets' - Make sure you double check the actual dimensions in the description and some of the photos make them look the size of tax discs but when they arrive they're like 5p pieces! lol

N.B. I've got a square 75mmx75mmx10mm magnet holding the Benellis stock. There is only a steel bolt in the stock which the magnet must a be a good 15-20mm away from through thick ABS. The magnet is incredibly powerful and almost impossible to lift from the cabinets door - you need to slide it of an edge to remove it. If you are using this type of magnet to directly attach to a metal part of the gun you do not need them to be as powerful as you might not be able to easily take the gun off the magnet/door!

Note the tiny magnets I have stabilsing the pistols barrel, probably 15mm diameter and 2mm thick. Those are more than enough when there is direct contact.
