Most people use their master closet to store their private stuff like hand guns/ammo, rifles, passports, wills, insurance papers, jewelry, etc. Because it’s close, handy, private, not in a high traffic area and easily accessible in emergency. In the past few years, many home owners requested that hidden compartments or bolted-in- place safes be included in their new custom closet renovation.
Out of Sight, Out of Mind
For smaller valuables, a hidden compartment with an illusion front totally hides the space which only you know. This is often custom built into the trim or toe kicks. These fronts can be locked using magnetic locking hardware so no handles, slides or hinges are exposed. Other illusion fronts could be false walls, closet partitions or alcoves behind the custom closet shelving system.
Vaults Inside Your Closet
When converting a guest room into a master walk-in closet, the existing reach-in closet can act as a vault behind the hanging systems. A full length mirror with hidden hinges that pivot open to expose the large safe beyond. From the front, no one realizes that the mirror can pivot. Other options include shoe shelf towers that separate apart on heavy duty slides to reveal the vault beyond.
Weapons Secure but Readily Available
A man’s home is his castle. It must be protected along with its contents and especially its occupants. Responsible adults will protect their kids and grand kids by hiding their firearms. The master closet is the most secure and private area in a home. Gun safety is paramount but, when and if the weapon is needed, there can be no hesitation.
