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.

Neat.  I'd like to know how they made the grout lines look natural (and not deteriorating) for the tile wall.

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!

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


Same here.


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.

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.

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.

I Actually Have delt with Smith safes, We had them install one of there doors in our home.

The door and frame weighed in at 1,952 pounds, Took 6 of us to stand it up in the door frame...




Befor we were using this empty room as a storage area...

Here are the before shots..



Since I wanted to cutomize the gun racking I decided to use some of my wood working skills, Poplar wood, works well for this, and used Oak paneles for the back splash.





About 3 days of reasearch and testing I drafted some technical drawing and started working




These are old pictures, all the racking is FULL now, but gives you an idea of what I did.

A lot of people advise against burying them.  If you are building a house already it is pretty affordable to build a room like these.

For what reasons specifically? I had thought of this in the past but have decided to have a vault room built when the house is.

Before this thread gets (even more) sidetracked, just google it.

Basically, a shipping container is only designed to hold weight on the corners, so the sides and top will give way once much weight is applied to them.

these pictures (scanned polaroids) are of my late fathers gun room or at least i should say this is what was on the walls, most everything is Winchester.
my father also had the worlds largest window shotshell collection at the time in the 80's before his passing. will scan and post those later.
we sold most everything to help pay funeral expenses and bills over the years but i have kept a few guns for myself.

Well the "gun room" is actually entered through another room that is half finished, it does not match the floor plan of the rest of the house, so unless you know where to look you wont even notice it

Unless of course it is underneath the front porch like many of them.

Bump just because this is always fun to look at.

Somebody turned his basement into a shooting range.  Note, this is exclusively airguns, no real firearms.  Normally, I wouldn't consider it for this thread, just like I wouldn't put up an airsoft collection in some teenager's bedroom.  But this guy did such an awesome job that I think it's worth a look.

Just keep in mind that even lead pellets from airguns can create an airborne lead hazard, and take appropriate ventilation steps.

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.

Nice.

I'm considering building a vault, and was just curious, what did they use for additional footing for the room, and what is the slab thickness?

Also, if it's not too personal, what do you think it cost you to build the vault room?
