Have you considered installing one of those safe doors (steel door with a combo)?

Yes, but it was way out of my budget for now.

I had looked at those some time ago myself, not cheap for sure.

You would have to reinforce the wall for the heavier door and frame.

I would do a secret bookshelf entrance, that would be sick! Wouldn’t it be cool to have a house big enough to have a secret passageway or room?

Any progress made on the project?

I had been waiting on the kit to arrive. It was delivered today. So it’s getting closer. I probably won’t be able to work on it this week, so it will be next week before I get more progress.

Here is the panel that forms the back of the system. This is one of two small panels. I also got four large panels which are the same width but twice as tall.

The kit also comes with a large shelf, three narrow shelves, and four bins (seen here).

There are six pistol stands. The stick is covered in a plastic covering, but I’ll still need to be careful when putting the guns on. They sell a unit that puts four or five on a single stand but I didn’t get that. I may add it later because if I add anymore pistols, I’ll need more.

Then finally, there are the rifle stands. The base will hold two rifles, side by side.

Then the top of each rifle, it gets one of these with a built in bungee to hold the barrel secure.

I plan on stacking two of the tall panels on the back wall and two on the side wall. I’ll put the two shorter panels on the other side wall and probably have the bins there for magazines and accessories.

Cool thing is if what I first try doesn’t work, I’ll just redo it.

Wished I had time this week to do more plan. But it’s a crazy work week.

By the way, there are 18 rifle stands in the kit I got, so I’ll have plenty of room to expand my rifle collection.

Here is the video I originally saw on this system.

Just realized I counted wrong. I have four pistol stands and two AR15 magazine holders.

So I will need to order extra pistol stands. But for now I have a good start.

Nice kit! Looks like a fun project too!
