Hi Ox,
I will use an external locked door handle and dead bolt with a cable lock inside secured to the floor with steel plates through the basement and closet floor.

Thanks,
Jerry

I have a home built wooden cabinet that has solid wood doors
for a little privacy. At some point I need to invest in a decent steel safe.

I think the most elaborate set up Ive seen is a house where the guy had a fire resistant room built into his already walkin closet. It rates at 2500 degrees for 30 or 45 minutes, unless you knew it was there you wouldnt have a clue. It's basically a steel reinforced box that was framed in to the house stands right at 6'/8'/10'. Now THATs security. Plus the three Knox safes also in the basement ( they had to put the master bedroom in the basement due to the weight of his "safe" room)

I have a 10 gun cabinet with glass doors. I like my gun case because I can see my guns. My wife gave me the cabinet for Christmas 32 years ago. If someone were to break in and steal them most could be replaced though I hope that never happens. And the sentimentel value could never be replaced. I need another one or a much bigger one. I have guns scattered around the house in closets and I don't like not being able to see them

Well, Mike, if you are a good guy this year maybe Mrs. Santa will get you another!!??

I made mine out of an old freezer, put a lock on it and bolted to the wall.
Not pretty, but efficient.

You should of let it sit upright and bolted it to the floor . unless some one broke in to steal meat , they wouldn't even look in the freezer for weapons. GREAT IDEA !!!!!!
I am looking into getting a tuff box for my ammo and gun accessories . not fire proof , but I figure I can bolt it to the floor and lock it . Thus protecting my items inside . and it will free up much needed safe space !!
