A knock-down (made of pieces-parts, not one-piece) Hollow metal door frame well anchored into framing, and a steel entrance door can be very secure as an interior item. The steel entry doors come in all sorts of paneled options, and all of that can be painted to make it less obvious.
This will work for closets as well as basements.
Building the walls out of CMU will really "up the game" (you then anchor 5/8" metal furring strips on the "public" side of the block and run drywall over the furring--on one is the wiser).
Only thing to watch for in basements are Egress Windows.
