JLelli,

The $3k you spend on the vault door could buy a couple of decent gun safes! Besides the expense of the door, you need to get it mounted (hung) and the door jamb modified for the locking bolts. PLUS, you need to secure the walls surrounding it to prevent someone from just ripping out the sheetrock to reach inside.

For the money you'd spend building and adequately concealing a special room, you're probably better off with a monitored alarm service.
