I think what you're seeing is the inward swinging vault door to that room
I'd guess this too, it appears to have guns hanging behind whatever it is, I couldn't see the reason to hang weapons behind a safe sitting on the floor.
After looking at the picture again I think you guys may be right. I wonder why the door swings inward, security measure perhaps?

It's so you can open the door if something is blocking the outside of it.
This may be a little to simple but, is that a safe inside the room? It doesn't even match the door frame.

More of that collection I posted got listed for sale. Also had a GE mini gun.

This.
Thats what we're doing on ours, as it doubles as a safe room.
Some awesome ideas for hidden doors

Neat. I'd like to know how they made the grout lines look natural (and not deteriorating) for the tile wall.
Its so me great looking rooms in this thread. I need to win the lottery so I can post my dream setup!
Damn pics got me drooling in places I dont wanna be drooling in!
Can anybody give me some numbers on what it costs to make a "gun room"?
My thought is too convert a room into a safe room. How much does it cost to reinforce it? Are there companies that offer these services from start to finish?
I'm so jealous!

with new construction it can be very affordable.

It was an extra 6k for my new house. 2k was the door, the rest was concrete and rebar and sweat.

Would have to agree. I spent about 1500 more than necessary just because I did a few upgrades related to the door, but I should be under 8K. Will have to sit down and figure it out when the house is done.

Those are good estimates.
come on, less talk and more pics. Someday I will move out of my condo and buy a house and I gonna need ideas on what to do to it lol
I thought I would throw a few teaser pics in of the room I had built with the new house. House isnt done yet, so I may post some more pics once the interior of the room is done. Walls are 10'', ceiling in corrugated steel with 8'' concrete over the top. The room is 300 square feet, and will be perfect for the valuables and as a storm shelter if need be. I think the size of the room is perfect. The house is a 2600 sqft ranch, and the basement is the same. So it is just enough without being overkill and eating up a lot of basement space. Worth every penny so far, and havent even moved in yet.
Vault door was built by Doug Smith of Smith Security Safes in Ohio. One heck of a guy to do business with. If you want something built, go to Doug!
ETA: Thanks to Steve at ADCO for the help early on in this project. He offered a lot of valuable advice which helped in the building process.

Wow, 300 sq ft is going to be huge! I can't wait to see the finished product. Do you have enough guns to fill it up already? If not, get cracking!

Boating accident

If all goes to plan, it will have cabinets and counter tops for the reloading equipment, computer setup and work area. Will probably have some type of wall board to display some of the long guns. I should be able to use the space nicely.

Hey.. don't go easy on him
One day.. One day
I feel the bookcase thing has been over done. It's to the point now that when I see a book case in someones house I automaticall think "hidden safe".
It's just too obvious now.

My first thought is, how often are you in homes that would HAVE a hidden safe? Its still pretty rare around here, even with safe rooms and hardened storm shelters becoming more common.
My room is placed in the house in a way that the casual looker has no idea there can even be a room there. My concealment, whenever im done with it, will amplify that effect.
Sorry to be vague, but I can only be so non-paranoid.

Im more of an "in plain sight" kind of fella. I bought the door(built the room) with the intention of showcasing it. If you can get in, you are more determined in your execution than I was with my planning. I like the industrial look of the door. Dont feel the need to hide it.
