Presuming you are able to and the "low life" intruders are not preventing you, how long does it take you to a) locate the keys, b) get the keys to the cabinet, c) unlock and locate the ammunition, d) load any weapon you have in there and e) bring it to bear on the situation ??
A cabinet is not only there to prevent your guns getting stolen, the time it takes to access them gives you more chance to change your mind if you were going to use them rashly.
My license would have been up for renewal next February. With my knees, my days of standing around in or tramping over wet ploughed fields whilst out shooting have gone, so the guns have been sold as the rigmarole of gun ownership these days in the UK makes it not worthwhile for me. My gun cabinet is now a very heavy and expensive valuables and filing cabinet.
