Tactical Walls: "Hiding Your Guns in Plain Sight" 

There is no perfect solution. Once again, practice your technique(s)

always could enhance it I am sure

Easier than trying to open your safe and get the gun out. By that time their inside beating the crap out of you

Haha I thought that’s what I heard 😆

MotionGaming now its magnets

@john brandenburg I would think it's empty?

I wonder if you could just mount it upside down so it would just drop open and STAY open sin stead of having to hold it open?

kawivloger That could work in some circumstances. I wouldnt want it to slam against something as it drops if there is a little table or something below it.

you could put a small piece of rubber inside each track so the wheel would hit it when it bottoms out which would make it quieter and should prevent excessive wear and tear from impact

fattywithafirearm flip it over, it's a mirror

I don't think the magnet is strong enough to unlatch if there is pressure on the latch. Notice how when he shows the magnet unlatching it moves slowly. I don't think it would work under spring tension, nor if if was mounted upside down

Agreed. The locking system is kinda dummy considering how dificult its is to find the magnet, lift the mirror and pick up the weapon. A small press button would be faster and instead of a lfit up door opening down or sideways seems more natural. But the general idea is great.

The originals had no locks - that was added by demand, and from the website they no longer seem to sell them without a lock. I *think* you can just leave the key/magnet in place, though - leaving it "unlocked". You can also buy just the insert and hang your own mirror/poster/picture over it.

Oscar Gouveia When installing, just tape/remove the locking mechanism if you don't like it and/or have no need for it. However, if you're buying something like this, you probably would prefer some sort of lock on it. Everyones' needs are different though, of course. Personally I would probably just install some sort of key hook or something on the same plane as the lock to remind me exactly where it is. So for example: I'd install a key hook hanging off the front of that shelf-base, right in the middle, to give me a straight line plane with the magnet lock being only a few inches behind the key hook. Maybe a small, color matched, shelf divider or something similar would work too. Unless something better is invented by the time I save up enough money to get a bunch of these, I'll likely have these things all over my house lol. Might even modify a few to go further into the wall and build another contained area around the front of the original mirror part to use as a fake medicine cabinet or something. Anyone can open the front and use it as a normal medicine cabinet but it has a "false" back (the original gun compartment). Lot's of options when you start making holes in the wall lol.

Probably just glue a magnet to the end of a flat stick then screw the other end into the bottom. That way you can just rotate the stick around to get it into place, kinda like how an ar-15 safety works but attached to the bottom of your cabinet.

😂😂😂😂😂😂

Hope you remember where they are :P

+1 on remembering where they are. If you are off by a little bit you'll punch the stud hahahahahaha.

MeeSeeks good spot

Awesome!!

Omg best newspaper title EVAH!

Figures!!

Adam Harness brake clean/acetone will take that right off

🤣🤣

lol

Yeah man.

Thanks Babee~

I must have a couple of these.. Thanks for sharing. :) thinking about mounting the magnet in a figurine/object, and leave on the shelf.

***** :))

Gary Peck That sounds like a great idea:))

***** Of course:))

***** At least we don't own IEDs like you.

Lol, not all Muslims are Taliban and not all Americans own guns. You play the stereotype game and get all butt hurt when I return the favor. If you can't handle the fire get out of the kitchen, you fucking hypocrite.

I am thinking you did this in someone else's home for obvious reasons! :)

Im so glad that im not the only one who noticed that lol

Rubber seals on safe door.

just mount it upside down.. store tha magnet on top of it.. just slide the magnet over and the mirror drops down.. BAM. even sideways would be 100 times better than lifting up.

oops

Of course you can just use another magnet.

The key is knowing it's there and where to put the magnet. Very secure and safe. Great unit

Time paradox

Build a gun turret tower as a fake chimney with a lockable trap door at the bottom like a safe room, when they break in you climb in there and lock yourself in. They may break in but they will never leave your property alive : )

What kind of stupid question is that? If you aren't concealed carrying your m249 SAW at all time, you might as well not even have one.

u dont get it do u

+zach clark The prudent gun owner will have several guns located throughout his abode.

+zach clark Block the door with your foot while you grab the gun.

David Anson and how do you expect to do that when they come in at 3 AM while you're sleeping? The gun should be in reach

That wouldn't be the only gun. Shotgun under the bed. That would be a doorway defense kinda thing, for me anyways.

Good idea!

Jake McCoy It's not about being cute, sometimes a safe is not a quick means of accessing my weapon. What if someones at the door trying to break in? I could EASILY grab my gun and defend myself. Way better than having to run to my safe, hope I hit the code correctly and then act accordingly. Plus, you really think they're wasting time looking behind mirrors? Ha! I'm willing to bet you don't even own a firearm.

You don't have someone in your house right now planning any crime, because if you did.. you would find that opening that box in 5 seconds will exceed that time immensely. If not hidden in the wall somewhere, it is possible to take it with them or just break into it when they see it in a burglary and no one is home. Now you have added to the illegal guns on the street and feed the complaints of gun hatters.

Thats a great way to fix it.

It actually does. There's a spot to put the key that holds the face in the open position.

Jonathan Murray actualy i noticed that after going to the website and taking a closer look to some of the pictures. Maybe sootch00 didnt knew when he made the review.

Seriously It's a good way to hide fire arms plus it's hard to make that type of technology And maybe they did think of it just couldn't afford it

***** thats exactly the problem... anyone with a magnet can open this.

extinctions810 do you usually carry around magnets though? then place them on the bottom of random mirrors to see if they open? Is what they could do though is make it like the spider wraps in retail where a certain magnet shape must be used to unlock it.

LOL

It could have been a set, and even if it wasn't.. "You know where he lives?"

Nope. But someone might.

I'll be completely honest, within a few weeks I'll forget all about this video and what this mirror looks like, just like 99.9% of people.

Sinbreaker True. Chances are so slim anything would happen that would necessitate that need that it's probably irrelevant.

It's for keeping it handy when your home for the most part. Nobody doing a quick b and e is going through all the time to check all that out

To see what I mean by this enormous drop in violent crime in the last 25 years, look here: www.statista.com/statistics/191219/reported-violent-crime-rate-in-the-usa-since-1990/ It's been remarked on for years in newspapers, and sociology books such as Freakonomics try to explain why it's been like that, in spite of very rough economic downturns. Here's another look at the numbers. Check out property crimes across America. You can see a big peak at 13,000 in 1991, down to 9,000 today.

Lol - he replies to every other comment but not the one that exposes his unjustified paranoia / Napoleon complex... Who needs that many fucking guns?

Iain Charles-jones hahahaha

Iain Charles-jones Eh, it's not really about need. I personally just like guns. I also hunt so I have a few that are used for different type game. Best part about a right is that you don't "need" a reason to exercise it.

Iain Charles-jones do you only ever buy things you need?

i dont think you really need "fine motor skills" to pass a magnet under the frame. if you have trouble doing that under stress then you probably shouldnt be handling a firearm in the first place

using tubes I agree, if your “fine motor” skills aren’t up to par, you’ve got other issues, and shouldn’t be handling a firearm and better off hoping the person doesn’t kill you, you useless mess

You can use any magnet

Oups... :-)

call lock smith😆😆😆

How would anyone know where his house is, or even what country, state, or city?

Kevin Fegan they can find him with an IP address

I was about to make the same comment.

I'm glad I had this installed before the Robbery. Thanks

+Shaun Golden I agree. The magnet is not a weakness in itself. It's a good way to secure the cabinet, but there should be a secondary uncomplicated means to open the cabinet in a big hurry. Use the magnet latch when you're away or worried about nosy kids. Have a recessed mechanical latch to access the interior under normal conditions.

yea i think there should be a different way with it, but im not the manufacturer lol

RFID now an option

Actually, here's a fool proof idea for the magnet, have a magnet the same size as the piece so when under stress you just push the magnet against the wall somewhere in the middle and then lift, a small magnet is pathetic and as you say, is a stupid thing that you wouldn't use properly under stress.

Just carry the handgun and use the mirror to store magnets in...magnets are dangerous.

I'd like to have a setup kind of like this but hidden a little better and hinged more like a door.

John Scott im thinkin on building one soon.
