Sneaky Bookcase To Hide Guns And Stuff Inside

Wow, there’s a lot of place to hide things:

$3500 for the unit in the video.  The design in the video isn’t really my style, but Q-Line Design will customize the bookcase to your dimensions and needs with an 8 week lead time.

Even if you’re not using it to hide stuff from criminals, it’s still an incredible use of space.  Something like this would be especially great for a small apartment.

Thoughts?

much better than “im hiding a big rifle in my center console, break in theives .com” thats posted above.

this is awesome and a good investment. keep the guns you dont want ANYONE to know you have (expensive transferrables, perhaps. family heirlooms that are sentimental) and keep a regular safe somewhere with a typical ar15 or glock and you are set.

short of a custom house with custom “bat-cave” as i call it. this is great.

i like it, although some of these hidden storage things look decidedly suspicious when you see them yourself, ie not via video

This would be perfect for my apartment.

A good safe would be better if you have room though, since they can provide fire/water protection.

I need my own place first, but I’d get one once I settled down.

wow I would gladly pay that much. I think it could be improved if it had a metal encasement in all of the drawers.

Why does that remind me of the kitchen seen in Mr. & Mrs. Smith?

I think hiding “in plain sight” offers an advantage. Unless invader/thieves know it is there already, they will be looking for a safe, under the bed, in back of dresser drawers, etc. The key would be to let as few people as possible know about this. I like it.

The drawer locks are controlled by pulling down the trim piece. The long sides are controlled by a magnet. That doesn’t seem to complicated.

A heck of a lot simpler than most trigger or slide locks. How much fine motor control do you have to have to put a key in a lock?

As a woodworker, I would like to see how to incorporate this idea into my own projects.

Stud/wire/pipe detector would make very short work of finding stuff. And a 12″ wrecking bar would make very short work of getting them. I’ll stay with a well-mounted safe.

Did you ever think of doing a desk with the same ideas ?
