Safe Cloaks to Conceal Gun Safes:
Wall safes are a great as disguised hidden safes.They are built to go in between studs in standard 4" walls and can easily be covered by pictures or other wall art. They can be used as a hidden gun safe for pistols. And they are easy to install for a DIY hidden safe option.
Hidden floor safes are probably the best way to hide a safe. We've talked to many homeowners that have found floor safes in a home they have moved into, some years after moving in.
But, in new homes, you must plan to install a floor safe. New homes with post tension slabs cannot be excavated to install a hidden floor safe once the concrete has been poured. So they must be installed during construction.
In older homes, (pre-mid 1990) you can hide a safe in the floor by knocking out the concrete, placing the safe into the hole, and pouring new concrete around the now-hidden safe to secure it. Always check for post tension before installing a floor safe as a DIY hidden safe .
Lastly, American Security Safes (AMSEC) makes a safe cloak in order to conceal or hide a gun safe. Let's face it, there aren't a lot of options for a hidden gun safe and this is probably the best one. It creates a faux finish for the safe by overlaying a laminate sheet over the gun safe to make it look like a cabinet. It's not going to fool anyone standing next to the safe, but it will fool someone driving or walking by that looks into your garage when the garage door is open. They won't see a gun safe, it will be hidden, they'll see a cabinet.
