If you have tools and are good with woodyou can do this your self. Shouldn't be hard to implement a keypad or fingerprint scanner.
I'm sure you could use other screws, but I haven't spent the time trying to find another source. There's nothing very special about them, except the square drive is nice.Originally Posted by enthusiast

I was surprised how much furniture is out there.

I used to have a YT vid of a guy making a bookshelf door to a secret room. The shelf was on tracks and electro magnets held it shut.

I was the guy! That room was bad ass. The magnets held about 150lbs each so you could push on the bookshelf as hard as you wanted and it wouldn't budge. Flip the switch, and it popped right open. It was completely invisible.
when I built the room, I wasn't sure how I was going to lock it, so I had built another secret locking door into the room behind a vent in an adjoining closet. I could just barely squeeze through it. I assumed it would lock in a mechanical manner, so if it broke when locked I'd never be able to get into the room. With the magnets, I didn't end up needing it.
i debated when I was selling that house whether or not I should leave the room open during showings. I left it unlocked, but closed, with a little note that said "push me". It was always open when I came back home. I bet people really got a kick out of it.

I though it was someone from this site. That was an interesting set-up. Is the video still online?

no, it's no longer on YouTube. And I don't think I even have any pictures.
It was hung from the ceiling with unistrut, and unistrut trolleys, which made it go backwards in a straight line, and always return to the same position when closed. It also had casters underneath. I didn't want any track on the floor to trip over, and unistrut was the only thing that could support the weight from the ceiling.
My wife was bitching at me while I was building it because it was taking so long, but when I was done she apologized after seeing how awesome it was.

It's a measure of the civility in this country that no ones seems to fear constantly pissing off the people who own lots of guns.
Some neat ideas for concealment within furniture here:

I don't think their execution is perfect (some of them are pretty easy to spot) but there are some good ideas that could be improved upon.

I don't have time to check it out, but there might be some good ideas here: http://www.pinterest.com/teb60/safe-...hidden-spaces/

What about countermeasures for things like metal detectors? Anyone got any ideas there?
Modern liberalism is based on the idea that reality is obligated to conform to one's beliefs because; "I have the right to believe whatever I want".
