So up until now my safe was in a really bad, inaccessible spot. It just sort of got buried in the closet and was hard to access, which meant guns didn't always find their way back into the safe and it drove me nuts. Now all my stuff is basically secure, inside a safe inside a closet with a door. What I'm looking for, is a nice lock or bracket that is able to be padlocks or otherwise key controlled, and relatively beefy. All the guns are secured but there is other stuff in the closet I'd like to prevent easy access to, I only have so much room in the safe so the closet is going to have to do for now.
I'm envisioning a bracket with a metal bar going across resting into the brackets and maybe rigging a way to lock the cross bar in place so it can't be lifted up out of place without a key. It's an outswing door, just looking for a way to secure the door and turn the closet into a "vault", or as much as it can be a vault. Just want any would be dirtbags to have a hard time getting in and prevent easy access should the day ever come somebody is nosing around where they shouldn't be.
Any suggestions, links, pictures or anything like that would be much appreciated. I'm looking online and not really seeing anything that's too exciting. I also want it to be somewhat accessible to me should I need to get in there in a hurry, don't want to have to unlock a sequence of 7 padlocks to get in, but 1 or 2 wouldn't be out of the question. I also don't want the locks to have exposed screws that could defeat the whole purpose of the lock in about 30 seconds with a screwdriver. Although I could always use threaded rod bolts in place of screws and have them fastened on the opposite side of the door if you follow.
