Is there any need for a passive air tube like a PVC pipe that will allow air in case you are in there for a tornado? I wouldn't want to run out of oxygen to breathe if the room is all sealed off.  My brother in law put one in his tornado room that
comes out then curves downward in the attic space above so water couldn't run in.  What are yalls thoughts?


The door is ready to ship, it's a Fort Knox I ordered from Ryan on here.  Just waiting on a foundation so they can deliver it.

I'll post pics as its going up

My concerns are humidity control and temperature for comfort when working.

The builder suggested tying into the HVAC system of the house with a vent and return vent.  I've been told there are fire dampers that close off a particular temps in case of fire.

Another option is a separate mini unit that has its own compressor outside and a wall mounted AC/heater in the room.

I've also been told due to the nature of the cinder block with concrete poured in it the temp will remain at a pretty constant temp and then I'd just have to use some sort of golden rod or dehumidifier I'm guessing.

I know many of yall have these rooms in a basement and moisture is of great concern.  What should I consider to maintain proper humidity and comfortable temp?




If your room is covered by a roof and insulated walls which I assume it will (as in, it's not standing in direct sun to concrete), then you shouldn't worry about temperature.


Your issue is going to be humidity, you can get a single room size dehumidifier, so a good idea is to put a drain somewhere in your room so that you can get a dehumidifier with a condensate pump... so you never have to empty it.



Build the room first, if you feel like you want it warmer/cooler, then get a mini  split system... but do not duct HVAC from your homes air handler.... regardless if you can get fire dampers.

One person in that room assuming it's a 8' ceiling should be able to survive 2.4 days with a sealed off room of that size.   Obviously a ton of factors plays into this including weight, size, etc etc.

How long does one camp out in a tornado shelter for?  If you are planning on having say 4 people sleep overnight in it then you'd need to put vents in.


You could always put a breather pipe in there like your BIL did but put an easy to remove endcap on it.  So when it's not needed you have yourself a air tight setup that would aide in fire... but when you are camping in it or need it, you can just twist off the cap.  Best of both worlds.   Hang an aircraft warning flag (remove before flight type tag) from it so you don't end up forgetting.... put an air monitor alarm in there too if you want to feel better.

I'm interested in using a ft Knox door in my vault build on my houses new addition. Do the doors typically swing in? I'd be interested in the 40" putting it in a room about 6' deep and 16 ft long.

Doors are available in outswing or inswing depending on your preference.  The outswing doors are typically a bit less expensive than the inswing, though not significantly so.  Just depends on what fits your application.

The one person I know that actually has a gun/safe room opted for an inswing door. His reasoning was, although it is a gun room, it is also a hurricane room for he and his family in times of natural emergencies. His thought process was if the house came down around him, he would still be able to open the door from the inside, without a debris pile stopping the door... Of course, even with a door that opens inward, you may open the door and just see a large debris pile and still be stuck....

Noted. I was talking to my father in law who is in emergency management and that was his thought as well. Looking like this room is going to have air purification and a landline phone as well.

This is the reason i chose an outward swing. If my entire house came down and blocked the door swinging out, then I have way bigger problems than the tornado that  just rolled through. The leads swing is what I chose and I would do it that way again.

Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't really sure.

It's certainly worthy of the "Gun Room" title though.

I'd consider it if I was building, but it would look like shit. Would be worth it to incorporate it into the house design and drywall around it so it is invisible, save the door.

You would definitely install the mesh barrier and drywall over it. We did work during a remodel for a big gun collector and he did his room this way. Came out nice

There is a drywall product called Hi-Impact (among other brands) that is standard drywall with a lexan backing bonded to it. 2 layers of this product produce an impressive finished wall. I first saw it used in interview rooms for a police station build I managed. I wouldn't rely on it alone, but more of an additional layer to other systems. Or, for a room that might need a lower level of security like for ammo and accessories.

Does anyone with experience using the security barrier mesh care to share on cost and where they purchased the product? I've got a basement room I'd like to reinforce, and I think this could be the ticket for the non brick walled areas. I'm wondering if this type of product isn't available more locally or if you have to work through a large dealer and order commercial quantities.

Are you thinking an EMP shielding mesh?  I bought some for work to go in junction boxes over the glass door so that when the opperators keyed their radios it wouldnt screw with our equipment.  I think I bought 3 yards of stainless mesh for about $125.  That was about 5 years ago.

I've gotten a lot of ideas from this thread for my gun room. I'm currently finishing up with the oak lam I'm putting up on the walls and have a week or two worth of trim and paint left before I put in the ceiling. I went with slatwall for the display and carpeted them with grey indoor outdoor carpet. I'm staining the oak with red chestnut and trimming it all out with ebonized trim. I lucked out and got all of my cabinetry from a reclaim store and used some large solid core pocket doors to make countertops out of. In reality I'm probably looking at another few months before I get everything exactly as I want. I want to show it off but have reservations on posting pics due to security concerns even though I have a pretty good layered security system.

Those guns aren't valuable enough or something???

Thanks. For now I just have a regular interior door but I do plan on getting a vault door when I can. Between now and then I believe I may put my welding experience to work and make a good heavy steel door and reinforce the door jamb with steel as well. While I know it isn't full proof by any means I do have a monitored security system and security cameras on the house and some good watchful neighbors. Plus the dogs. And the house is rarely ever unoccupied.

And the house is rarely ever unoccupied.


Did you buy those slatwalls pre carpeted?  If so where?  Thanks.  Looks good.

I did the carpeting myself. It's kind of a bitch till you get the hang of doing it.

Nice job!  Simple and utilitarian.  If I had the space in my house I'd also build something like that.

Thanks. I'm adding corner shelves between the slatwall as well. I'm also planning on adding a rack for my radios and scanners on the far left side. Plus the other wall that's out of the photo I haven't even started on yet but it'll be for my hunting rifles and gear storage.
