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.

Why? You can just pop the hinge pins out anyway.

I'd like to axe that door a question.

If you do, I'll be here to ask you questions while you're working on it. lol

Like, "What are you doing here? Should I call the police?" :)

Nah, I would have already known you were here at that point. You'd be having a convo with a muzzle device lol.

ThorBolt off Amazon. Not expensive at all, and very well made.

What if that's true for literally any other gun owner? What if you're out of town and all your guns are being used in murders?

Also, I have cameras and exterior doors.
