With having two small children in the house, it is hard to just stash a weapon for home defense. My gun safe has a 4 digit combination and opening it in the dark in the middle of the night would be difficult to say the least.
I decided to make a security cabinet to hang in my closet that I can access using just a key. This is the result. It is all 3/16" steel and measures roughly 46"T x 13"W x 5"D. Just big enough for my Mossberg and a hand gun. It has a Medeco drill proof cam-lock and 3 point locking system with a hinge-side blocking plate, making it secure on all 4 sides. I used 4" weld on hinges with brass bushings and welded them so I could remove the door when opened. This was a must seeing as the box itself weighs close to 100lbs.
It ended up being a little overkill, but it will definitely keep my kids out.
