I used a couple of hooks and eyes with a bit of elastic and araldite to fix this :thumbsup: :drinks:

I store them barrel down when freshly cleaned for the same reason.
But it is an annoying balancing act sometimes.

i just put a piece of wood across the bottom of the safe, measured and drilled a few holes for the barrels to fit in and plugged the bottom with a felt plug Soaks up any oil and stops slipping...
