Question on steel door for gun room.

[jonnyc]

I had a medium-sized cinder block alcove in my basement when I moved in a couple of years ago. First thing I did when we moved in was to close off the 4th wall with blocks and install a wide-ish, heavy-duty, commercial, outside security door. Short of a vault, but pretty secure, and very versatile.

If you have a pool table, build a cue rack that hides the door. Put a hidden piano hinge on it so it is easy to open.

I used cattle panels inside my Arms Room walls covered with 5/8 in. plywood.............

How difficult would it be to cut thru the panels with a power saw? The video I watched showed someone cutting thru rebar easily and that is why they recommend filling the wall with loose "baler twine" as it instantly clogs the saw blade and extremely difficult to cut further?

I know it is almost impossible to stop someone who is determined to get in if they are given enough time, the main thing is to stop any burglar who has only a few minutes to do their dirty work.

If someone is going to use power tools to get into my arms room, someone is going to hear it !........................
