Hello all, since this is built into the house and I did it myself,
I figured it was ok to post this here.

Anyway , I built this about eleven years ago when I built my house,
I've since abondoned it for a steel safe so it's ok to show it off and maybe it
Would Help give you ideas for your own projects.

Basically it's a working hall linnen closet , that opens up.
A small piece on the left of the cabinet , held on by rare earth magnets,
pops off to reveal the hinge. Inside it holds 26 rifles, dozen or so pistols ,
Plenty of drawer space and half a dozen rubber maids
Overhead for builds.
Enjoy.

I have something similar, but I'm not happy with the hinges. Can you show some details of how that works?  

Really nice setup, by the way.

Here are some close ups of the hinge. I don't remember
Where I ordered it, but I think it was around 125$ and capable
Of supporting way more weight than it holds

With cover piece on

With it off, you can see the rare earth magnets.

Backside and jamb

Bottom floor

Why didn't you hide the safe in there?

Ya that would have made more sense wouldn't it.
When I build this,, about eleven years ago , I didn't think
About needing a safe.  I can't fit a safe in there now,
At least not without doing a lot of remodeling.
Besides, this is going to be bulk Christmas storage now.

Awesome!

There are some fairly large damaged areas where the trim has crushed the wall board.  That telegraphs the hidden door and compromises security.
