Hornady makes replacement reinforced doors and door frames to turn rooms into vaults or safe rooms. When we build a new shop, we’ll be looking at those as an option for an interior reinforced room.

Not bragging, cause we all should have more room to put our toys… but my walk-in gun safe room is more than 10 times that size… took about 3 years to complete ( well there is still “some” finish work to do )… but mine doubles as a gun safe, safe room, and storm shelter, plus all my reloading stuff fits as well…seems weird, but part of my sell off 2 years ago, was in part, because I had filled it… and I still want some more / different stuff, so some parts had to go… ( most of the shotguns, because they take up more room than the revolvers )

MWM, that’s what we will be looking at doing, probably not reloading though. Just gun safe, storm shelter,…….was looking at possibly anchoring a shipping container to the foundation and then add a good door.

Mine is adjacent to the 100 year old house 14” thick stone and concrete foundation with a inward opening door to escape if a tornado took down the house… it’s fireproof, with 4” ventilation intake and exhaust, in case of house fire, and for casting bullets if I choose, full steel lined concrete top, with a 3 season screened porch on top… it’s actually 2 rooms ( the center wall helps support the ceiling ) the back corner has a set of shelves for emergency supplies, a desk has file cabinets, all our important paperwork goes into… it’s drainage tiled, has a sump pump in each room, is plastic lined, on the
Concrete walls, blown foam insulation, on the ceiling and a pair of dehumidifiers, that are drained into the sump pits, that are normally dry, because of the tile lines

Have thought of "up-armoring" a closet. My 2nd thought is, safes will protect our toys from most thieves. There is a growing possibility that the threat may not be thieves. I'll drop it here, and not share my solution.

My biggest concern has been thieves, and house fire damage… I always wondered how the safes would truly protect against a burn to the ground fire, and all the water associated with a house fire, that’s why my rooms, are outside the house foundation, and have been fully tiled the wall between the finished basement and the door should protect from a fire quite well, and even if the basement were flooded from fire hoses, the tiled pits in the safe room should keep any water that finds its way in there from puddling up
