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?

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

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

    Another item for the dream home wishlist.

  7. 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.

  9. I like it but in an rush too many steps to get to some of the items..

    1. 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?

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

  11. 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 ?
