Update:
Looking into the room Attached File Looking out Attached File My FEMA holes Attached File Slowly coming along. I’ll fir out the walls 1.5” to run electrical. Room is about 16’ square. I need to figure out the best bench set up. One wall will be slatboard for hanging Guns. The drain is for a small sink and a dehumidifier drain. Here’s the sink I’m thinking about. |

It's pricey but worth the money. View Quote |

My dog + security system should prevent thieves with the proper tools from having the time to cut through the wall or whatever. I've added security hinges with non-removable pins and safety latch and a bio-metric lock to the door for quick access. I didn't want to swap out the door for a solid core and lose the aesthetic appearance, so I may explore options of attaching sheet metal to the inside for more security.

I'll probably hang one more panel at the top with more shelves. I could also hang panels on the sides for hooks or small bins if I run out of space.

Like if you try to open it it spins freely and does not unlock. Only unlocks if you either use a special pin or something else. |

My submission. Our house has a suspended 3-car garage. This is the room underneath. It's my workshop, gun room, reloading room, preps storage room, air rifle range (haven't done that in a long time though) and tornado shelter. The door is currently a solid core wood door with 3/4" plywood attached, with a single deadbolt and locking knob. I'm going to add a way to brace it shut with 2x4s in the near future. I want an actual vault door, but that isn't in the budget anytime soon I need to clean and organize thoroughly too, but I have several ongoing projects I'm working on. I just retrieved my hunting clothes/gear from the in-laws' farm, so that needs put away too.

Looks like another quality Doug Smith door. Just had one identical to that installed. |
