Storage at St Mary's Shooting Centre

Hey boys.

Re the above, does anyone know how it works as far as access goes? I know they use some kind of passcard system but is that a 24hrs a day type arrangement or can you only gain access to your safe during range business hours?
I'm thinking of hiring an AB Cat safe there temporarily since I might be moving in a few months and there might be a few days between unbolting the safe from one house and installing it in the new one 550km away. But for the meantime 90% of my hunts happen over the weekend so I'm usually leaving super early in the morning and often returning late at night on the Sunday. Only having access between 10am and 10pm would lose me half a day either side.

And, how many hunts will you miss out on in the "few days between unbolting the safe from one house and installing it in the new one 550km away."?

Exactly none, for that few days. But between the headache of timing and logistics around the move, and the minimum rental period being 30 days, there would've been an argument for just shifting the whole shebang over there for a month or more IF the access issue wasn't an issue. Chances are I'll still hire a safe there, but it'll likely remain empty except for the transition period. Alternatively I might see about dropping my stuff off at the LGS in the new town for a bit.
