Started on my gun room

[Baboosh]

Dude. You built a secret hiding space and posted it on a public forum? You know you get charged when the police show up for an alarm call, right? It's not even fireproof, and someone could just cut through the wall. If they wanted your stuff, they're still going to get it. You know that the Chinese will break in and take all your guns, if the governor doesn't send in a raid first? What were you THINKING?!?!

But what people don't know is I am going to stuff it with teddy bears and lollipops. That way when people spend the time to get in they get to cuddle with soft things and suppress their inner sexual feelings.

OP, that looks awesome! Tagged for further progress. I've been contemplating secret gun storage myself but on a smaller scale like bookshelves etc. Kinda like the Q Line Design furniture but not so ridiculously expensive.

I had our cabinet designer built secure storage in a few pieces of furniture be built. Allows me to have secured handgun storage yet easy access in main rooms of the house if needed.

Excellent plan. If anyone ever did find your stash, they'd probably be too drunk to carry anything out of the house..

Very cool idea, love it! Looking forward to seeing more progress.

Great project. Where did you get those yellow numbers on the ammo cans?

[Dee_Dub]

Impressive

Keep it coming. Great work and ingenuity.

Probably from this site. It's a Calgunner that runs it.

House is equipped with sprinklers and the walls are going to filled with Great Stuff fireblocking foam. As good as a safe? No, but hopefully between the sprinklers and fire alarms that are hooked in with our alarm it will give enough buffer time.

just the drywall itself acts as a fire retardant. you could double up on the drywall to add to it, or they do sell fire-rated drywall that doubles the retardant time from something like 30 minutes for 1/2" to an hour.

Very nice! I want to build a safe room when I move to Oregon.

Out of curiosity what climate are you supposed to keep wine in? I obviously know nothing about it as I'm a tequila drinker and it wouldn't last long enough to make a store room lol. Just curious if it needs moisture or a cool place where as the guns need a dry place.

Moisture no, cool yes. 50-55 is ideal but ours is never that low. It can keep the room 40* but we usually have it set to 65*

For those wanting to see the lock system

That's really slick!!!!! Too bad the room is so small, it would be an outstanding man cave!

Sounds like you did quite a bit of research and are doing things right.

Keep a real close eye out for rodent droppings down there. A newer home depending on the ventilation, could be rodent free. Older homes, all basements have rat droppings.

I saw one house I worked in that had a small unfinished basement for a furnace and some storage- they put in several large electric wine coolers down there. But the rat droppings everywhere just disgusted me....

Mr electric, wine should be stored dry and cool. Not humid like cigars. If it's good for wine, it's fine for guns.

I had mag locks in some of my jobs for high security doors... They're pretty serious hardware.

When I say wine cellar I don't actually mean it's under ground. It's on the main floor of the house by the kitchen

My next house will have a walk in concrete room. As soon as I live CA im having my house custom built.....
Not messing around. Plus a BIG garage with a 2 post lift.
