Another thing to consider, if you move you can take the safe with you.
Ideally, I'd like to have both. Vault door for the room because my reloading stuff is also in the same area, and safe for the guns.
I’d have a construction company come in and build an additional room and have concrete walls poured with rebar reinforcements and a vault door. That’s if money isn’t an issue. Also make sure they sign a NDA
Didn't you make a reinforced ceiling for the vault? I would think that otherwise someone could just cut a hole in the floor above and take the guns.This is more or less what we did. Not to my house, but for a customer. Blocked off a corner in a basement with concrete blocks lined with rebar and poured full.
We then drywalled to outside of the wall so that it looks like every other wall in the house.
Materials (including vault door) and labor, came to roughly $65,000.
The shelving inside was finished in red oak and red and black velvet, with red Berber carpet on the floor.
It had enough rack space for 270 long guns when we finished, but we were called back and added another 150 spaces for long guns, and shelving for handguns.
Heat and A/C were ducted in to keep climate controlled.
Incredibly expensive, but Haley's Lock, Safe, and Keys told me it was the nicest vault set-up they had seen.
That made my day!
