Although you still have some problems due to the circular design,,,
this is a facet that I like about the revolving cylinder type gun safe.

I was going to do the same thing but got told it wouldn't be approved as it's not one seamless cabinet. if you bolted 2 together with a combined weight >150kg I see how they can fail you on inspection, essentially its no different then some of the bigger safes with 2 doors. I'd be using a minimum of 5 high tensile bolts with spring washers and Nylock nuts of maybe 10mm diameter or greater.
I had an inspection a couple weeks back now and the lovely Snr Constable wasn't overly worried about checking the actual safe. She took a look and said they are over the 150kg and moved on to checking my firearms against my rego papers. I'm going to give her a call next week to invite her and her partner out to the range to shoot some of the more interesting rifles I have. A little positive PR with the local Licensing Police should be fun and maybe encourage them to get more into the sport.

I can picture a designer safe, open the door, push a button and the carousel rotates till you find the rifle you want. I could tell the missus I bought it to store her shoes in
.Apart from weight, my humble suggestion is to put both of those matching pair of safes side by side, and then bolt them together from the inside.
