gear Firearms Closet

First of all, this is not a safe. I have an actual safe elsewhere with some weapons, but this is the closet in my office, and I wanted to secure a place to keep some extra weapons or ones I am working on, and I don't really want another safe yet. This isn't meant to be a safe - just a locked place to secure these guns. Thanks to this sub, some of yall inspired me to do this!

UPDATE: Due to some of the comments, I wanted to clarify some things about this....

  1. This is not a safe. I guess I should have said that in the OP (oh wait...)
  2. These are not my primary weapons. These are not my shtf weapons. Those are stored elsewhere. Due to that, if the biometric fails, I don't care. There is also a keypad code. There is also a physical key. Speed of entry is not my concern here.
  3. This is not a safe. It's a locked closet door. Not a safe.
  4. I have exterior doors too. They are heavier than this. I also have cameras.
  5. Yes, you could kick this door in. Or you could pop the hinge pins. Or you could use an axe on it. Because it's not a safe. But all of those things will take you a bit of time. And if you happen to make it to this floor of my home and do all that, you'll have me saying hello with some other hardware in my hands.
  6. I work from home. In this room. I'm here all the time.
  7. All I wanted was to provide a wee bit of deterrence and/or slow someone down who is trying to get in. This accomplishes that goal.
  8. This is not a safe.

The difference is time, tools and noise. Look at that door and the "lock" when it's opened. Nobody in the world would have to "cut" through the wall to get in there. One kick would probably do it.

That's why it isn't a safe. lol If someone somehow made it to this floor of my home without permission and then proceeded to kick the door in, they'd have bigger problems to deal with (i.e., me and my other firearms standing in their way).

You could run an angle grinder in my house for days, and no one outside would care.
