I am not going to buy one more larger safe to fit everything in already upgraded twice. I have a closet in my home that is adequet size for all my items. What is the best way to turn this closet into a safe.
A little background. It would be in the first floor of a 2 story home with no basement. The closet is around 5 feet by 5 feet and then standard ceiling height which I beleive is 8 feet.
I want to do this as cheap as possible I cant afford a 5000+ dollar door from saferoom.com
So I have access to all the labor help I need with alot of my friends being contractors. I just need to know how should I go about reinforcing the door and frame plus the walls inside the closet. I want someone to think its a closet from the outside not a walk in safe/vault.
I was thinking removing sheet rock placing thick guage steel and filling wall with concrete or another hard substance? then sheetrock over the steel for appearance sake.
Maybe concrete is a bad idea...
Thinking about a Steel door frame but how do I do the lock and door.
Suggestions? help? I am just throwing ideas out there.
