Our house has an underused closet I’m thinking of converting to a “vault” for firearms and other valuables. It’s about 6’x 8’ under a staircase so the roof steps down to the floor. I’ll install a good metal exterior door with deadbolts and reinforced jamb. I’m looking for advice:
What should I use for the walls? I don’t think I can achieve a fireproof room. I’m just hoping to make burglars give up and go away.
How should long guns be stored? Horizontally? Vertically with muzzle up or down?
Handguns just lying on shelves or upright in some kind of rack?
Do I keep ammunition in there, too?
I’m thinking I’ll just roll a dehumidifier in there. Is that good enough?
Any other ideas?
I appreciate everyone’s input.
Thanks.
