I have a closet I keep my gun stuff in, and it has a lock on it. I have a kid on the way now.
Instead of buying a gunsafe, I could use the entire closet as my gun safe (it pretty much only has guns stuff and ammo in it now anyway). I might even buy a combination doorknob so I need not worry about a key.
But there is one problem - the hinges are on the outside of the door. In future years, as the kid gets older - hypothetically, one could knock out the hinge pins and take the door off the hook to get into it (with the doorknob still locked).
Any ideas? I'd rather not screw in any time of locking hinge into the doorframe and door - and, this could just be unscrewed anyway.
If there was such a thing as a locking hinge - I'd be set - something like a longer than normal hinge pin, and I could put a tiny padlock thru it to keep anyone from taking the pin out. I did a google search, but had no luck for such an item.
Anyone have any ideas?
