Hidden gun room

[Chuckrizzo]

Turned our master bedroom closet into reloading/gun tinkering room by removing existing door and building hidden bookcase... pretty easy! Now not only are my toys locked in a safe but the safe is in hidden room ... also I have a place to fondle them in private . Lol! Anyway I'd be happy to pass on how to do to anyone interested...

I was hoping to see some pics of what's inside . very cool idea! Maybe I should look into something like that as well.

Very nicely done. What's the address again?

 

[Goosebrown]

Only problem I see is that now the master bedroom doesn't have a closet. If I were searching, that would be a big alarm bell. If you had TWO closets and converted one, that'd be different.

Nice work though no doubt

 

[Chuckrizzo]

Well first thing was convincing the wife to give up her closet so I built her an external closet... as for address and internal pics you'll have to use your imagination ...lol

Move that light switch to the inside.....dead giveaway.

 

[Chuckrizzo]

Good eye.. that's next step..

That's what caught my eye. But a lot of thieves are pretty dumb. So there's that.....

Thieves are stupid!! Is there a lock on it so it won't open if you pull on it? That would probably be enough to deter any thieves that think there might be something there.

 

[Chuckrizzo]

Yeah , the book on shelf has wire attached to gate latch.. pull the book opens latch but could be locked from inside with padlock ect..

Have you got some way to breath in there?

 

[CamoDeafie]

In addition to breathing, I do wonder, what would your plan be if a fire had started in the bedroom or the hallway into the bedroom? Have you got an evac plan from the hidden gun room?

 

[Chuckrizzo]

I appreciate your concerns but it's not intended to be a panic room, just a place to do reloading and tinker with toys... when I'm in there the door is open so I can breathe and in case of Fire there is a outside door right outside of room...

 

[Larrytpdx]

Pretty cool Chuck!

 

[0GRE]

I imagine lifting up that little mirror (like those gun storage mirrors) to reveal the locking mechanism to your door... Retnal scanner?

For total camouflage, stock the shelf with books about vegan tofu beer recipes, biographies of liberal politicians, and how-to make clothes and sandals from recycled dog hair.

Seriously, great job on the cool shelf/door!

I made a few of these hidden rooms, but it was back in the 80's for some hippies and their skin tanning equipment.

 

[Libertas7]

Are you able to load it with books and still have it hinge/move well?

 

[Chuckrizzo]

Yeah since posted pics were taken we've loaded it up and no difference in opening works like a champ

 

[11Charlie]

That requires updated pic's!! Just saying lol
