SAFE SPACES

Clients are always looking for new ways to create hidden compartments and concealed storage solutions in their closets! One thing we often like to incorporate, depending on the level of security desired, is a safe for documents and valuables. Today, safes can be outfitted in all kinds of custom ways, with watch winders, interior drawers, and fireproof casings! Regardless of what you plan to store, it’s always a good idea to come up with a clever hiding spot. Maybe you’ll opt to keep the “real” safe elsewhere in the home, but these are a few favorite hiding spots to consider in a closet if you’re looking for an added layer of protection!

FALSE FRONTS

This is a great solution if you’re trying to conceal a smaller hotel-sized safe for passports and documents. From the exterior, we can create a false panel that blends right in with a bank of drawers, or a false panel that appears like part of the millwork!

MIRRORS

Mirrors are another great way to create concealed storage in a closet! Whether for a safe or additional everyday storage, a mirror is an easy way to mask a hidden compartment while adding functionality!

FLOOR SAFES

If you’re after a safe that’s hidden in plain sight, a floor safe is a great option for items you rarely need to access! They can be covered with false flooring planks / tiles, or beneath an area rug or ottoman.

SAFE ROOMS

Some clients prefer to fireproof an entire space, in which case we often recommend a fully outfitted safe room! These rooms can be completely concealed so as not to become a target, and can be fully customized for any items you need to store and outfitted with all the creature comforts!

BIOMETRICS

More than ever, potentially thanks to the iPhone, we are having clients request biometric locks! This mechanism can be used to secure a safe, a drawer, a cabinet, or even an entire closet, allowing entry only to those given access.
