Convert a Room into a Gun Safe
Investing in a gun safe is a wise decision. Gun safes keep firearms out of the hands of children who could accidentally injure someone. They also keep firearms out of the hands of criminals. Converting a room into a gun safe adds a layer of protection because the guns and ammunition can be in locked cabinets behind a locked door. Whether you buy your fixtures pre-made or build them yourself, a small room can easily be outfitted as a gun safe. Does this Spark an idea?
Instructions
1. Select an interior room to convert (or the basement) that has no windows. If you must use a room with windows, remove the windows and refurbish the outside of the house so it isn't apparent that there used to be windows.
2. Build or purchase lockable cabinets for your gun collection or purchase a pre-made gun safe to put in the room. Make sure to include drawers that can be locked for ammunition storage and other firearm supplies.
3. Put in shelving or cubby holes for non-lethal equipment like scopes and gun bags.
4. Put a sturdy deadbolt lock on the door. Replace hollow core doors that are easy to break into. Consider installing a steel door with several deadbolts and hinges that can't be cut out. Build a bookcase or large piece of furniture to conceal the door.
5. Construct or buy a workbench and stool or table and chairs that can be used for gun cleaning or repair. Keep volatile and toxic cleaning supplies under lock and key.
6. Install a large capacity dehumidifier and a heating and cooling system that can be kept at a constant temperature. When you install the system, make sure it will also provide ventilation.
