Very nice build. The only drawback is the rather awkward location of the mirror. If I walk into a room with the mirror there, my "something isn't right" alarms go off.

This guy is clearly an idiot. He posted a video of it online for all to see, along with video of what him & his son look like! Might as well give his guns away at this point. He painted a massive bullseye on his forehead & hung a neon sign above his house that says FREE GUNS!

I think you only say that due to the fact that we know there is a hidden room there. If it wasn't for that I'm sure you wouldn't think twice about it. Or at least think to you're self that it looks weird but then you will realize the angle of the roof and see that everything their is weird so then it all fits together in a weird way. Weird place for mirror + weird roof = makes sense ill let it be.

I thought the same. It should have been spaced a little off the wall and on the other side.

Great work 👍 if you feel like it, hang a second mirror on the far left for symmetry. Makes it look like the first mirror isn't just randomly stuck up there and psychologically makes you less curious about the choice to put it there.

​@kevinb8572 or let people buy what they want with the money they worked to earn... I have guns I've not shot in years. But sure as heck like looking at them still.

I built something similar after I bought my first house. I added security cameras around my house and connected it all to monitors in the secret room and had all my gear, plate carrier, guns, and cheapest but effective nods I could find. My family and I dealt with a few breakins as a kid so I always dreamt about having a secret room/armory. I don’t got too much guns but the few guns I have are ones that I really love. When someone does eventually decide to break into my house I know I would be safe both when I want to fight and when I don’t.

Panic room! Every house should have one!

Only "improvement" that could be suggested would be where the door ended up. It's very well concealed, but the mirror looks odd where it is. Still, the concealment is excellent!

Most people aren't going to notice but the spacing of the windows and placement of the mirror is kinda odd. The illusion is very likely to fool any smash-and grab opportunists that happen to come along if the house were ever empty but if the opportunity ever comes up I would recommend moving the door more towards the center so the mirror placement makes more sense. I know you came up with the mirror thing after laying out the room, I'm just suggesting that if there's a next time, or for anyone who is planning their own room, take that into consideration. Might also consider using an exterior door and placing studs close together or some other way of reinforcing the wall just in case someone ever does discover it it might slow them down enough for the police to get there. Overall it is still very cool and should still serve it's purpose.

The drawer slides for the mirror was a great idea!

That's an awesome idea - I'm finishing out my basement and I have a room that's fully enclosed in cement on all 6 sides (minus a doorway) and I was thinking of doing a floor to ceiling, wall to wall bookshelf, but this space, although a home office now, is designed to be a bedroom. So a sliding mirror would make a ton of sense! And I love how you did the floor trim under the entrance.

Gettin ready to layout my room & this is a great idea. Awsome job on the construction & utilization of space. A very nice collection,im very impressed.

Outstanding work!! That room will enjoyed so much more because you put your hands on it

So dope!! I’m so jealous. Nice job 👍🏾

This is awesome! I plan to do this one day. I was about to say something about a protection dog, but looks like you got that covered. They are invaluable. They help provide an early warning and in most cases will keep intruders at bay and if it came down to it would attack if you had to go hands on. I can’t imagine not having a protection dog now.

I would love to be capable of building something like this. That’s awesome brother! Love it!

Awesome mate! When I built my hidden room I off set the studs on each side so the drywall wasn't connected to the same set of studs for sound proofing when I'm in there you'd have to listen real hard to hear anything. Also did you place anything around the underside seems of the mirror to block out inside light?

@GreatLakesGunner

Жыл бұрын

I installed very thin pieces of lauan at the top and bottom to give the drawer slides more meat to mount to so I didn’t blow through the front trim of the mirror. I didn’t need to thankfully, the trim is quite thick and fits snugly against the wall only buffered by the drawer slides and I have very little to no light leak. The interior door on the inside also probably helped with that.

Awesome! Well done.

Great job 👍🏻

Nice Job. I'm doing this in a space in my basement but a portion of the wall will be white peg board with some stuff placed on it. The purpose is to allow us to see any aproachers while hiding out.

That my man is AWESOME!!

nice job Dude !

Great job it looks fantastic. Only thing i would have done different is layed 3/4" plywood over the studs first, would have strengthened the wall. If by chance they find the door and cant kick it in it doesnt take much to go through sheetrock.

Great job. Might I add, hanging identical mirror on the same wall on other end to create symmetry. Further adding to the illusion that it is just a mirror

Looks great. I’d have to have a little workbench in there with a Vice

Good day to you man. This is Ted from Texas. I definitely like the fact of having a Gun Room. I don't like the fact that the house burns down there's a good chance of losing all your firearms in the fire. So I ended up going for a really big gun safes that were really Fireproof. But of course I outgrew the big safe I needed a second one. And they are expensive. Especially high security and Fireproof . Thanks for sharing man

You can price it out for your project. Slatboard was purchased at Menards and the hooks were purchased from Secureit.

Awesome way to go..

Have you considered doing something to the rails the mirror slides on to add some initial resistance to movement to avoid an inadvertent "bump" leading to an unintended discovery? Thinking some clear caulk nubs you'd have to force the rail wheels passed with a little effort.

Awesome bro. Iam in michigan myself
