Gun room / security closet

In my case, I merely want to slow someone down. By the time they get to the room, they will have already set off the alarms. If they attempt to bypass the door, they will be faced with a conventional appearing wall with expanded metal under the drywall

My wife insisted on pouring a vault when we build the new house on the ranch in 2005. I can tell you with certainty, 12 X 12 isn't big enough.

I don't have near the toys many of you do and my 12x16 reloading cabin doesn't have enough free space to swing a dead chipmunk.

Eons ago, I had a house with something similar. It was in a finished basement and was the tail end of the furnace/water heater and store room. About 8 feet wide and exposed studs. So I framed in a close-off wall with a door opening and an open-out interior door. I then lined the exposed studs with 3/16 steel screwed to the studs except the back wall which was part of the foundation which was below grade. That was covered with drywall and painted. Thee opening had a roll-up security door secured by a deadbolt and high security padlock. Inside was about 32 deep and 8 foot(ish) high and 7 feet wide. My collection was more modest then. It was primarily designed to prevent ‘smash and grab thefts.

It's Crowded, Tight, but I have 7 presses in there and a lot of guns. Door is camouflaged. Deadbolts, reinforced steel door, electro magnet locks.

It's not burglar proof but the average crack head would never find it.

In the photo, is that an old Unertl or Lyman STS on the what looks like a Kimber 82? Nice!!

That is an H&R M12 with a 20x Redfield Mr. Palman. Shoots lights out.

I have one just like that I purchased from the CMP years ago.
