2. Take out the two lower shelves to make room for any long guns.
3. Glue a piece of fitted carpet onto the bottom of the unit.
4. Glue the wooden blocks to the back interior of the cabinet and three feet high from the base. Space them two inches apart, with the 1-by-2 side placed vertically against the back wall.

6. Lock the doors closed with the padlock through the hasp.
