if you’re looking for a safe place to
hide something precious the obvious
choice would be in a safe and it’s
probably just as obvious to the
criminals who want to steal your stuff
sometimes the best place to hide
something is where people least expect
it so in this project we’re making a
super secret safe that only you know
about

slash the king of random for this
project you’ll need one of these extra
long electrical gang boxes made for
existing walls
you’ll also need a blank wall plate like
this now search around your house for a
clean section of wall and use a stud
finder to locate an area between the
studs when you found a spot that works
measure the height that matches the
outlets nearby and add half an inch now
line up the mark with the bottom left
corner of the box and trace around the
sides this is where you’ll need to cut
into the wall go ahead and stick an
envelope under the markings and select
your cutting tool of choice you can see
that when you begin cutting into the
sheetrock the envelope catches the dust
reducing the mess that you’ll have to
clean up later it’s important to cut
carefully and with shallow strokes
because there could be electrical wires
behind the wall and you don’t want to
cut them by accident when it’s all cut
out you should find that your blue box
pushes in perfectly and rests flat
against the wall
when you adjust the screws in the
corners you can see that it tightens the
flaps at the back securing the box tight
to the wall at this point you can start
loading your safe with something
important
perhaps some stamps you want to save a
set of spare keys maybe what about
emergency ammunition whatever you put in
there when it’s all tucked away simply
add the cover plate and screw it
together
chances are no one’s ever going to guess
there’s anything hidden inside if you
want to go one step further try pushing
some furniture in front of the cover
because out of sight means out of mine
now if the time comes where you need to
open your safe but you don’t have a
screwdriver no problem just use the
prongs from a plug the blades fit
perfectly into the screw heads allowing
you full and easy access now there are
plenty of modifications you can make to
this thing for example if you plan on
using this a lot and can’t be bothered
with unscrewing it every time try
drilling out the screw holes with a 964
inch drill bit then add a dab of
superglue to where the screws meet the
cover plate this way the screws will be
held fast in place and now you can just
line up the holes and press it together
in an instant if you want this to blend
together with the surroundings try
adding an outlet to the front of the box
and a finishing plate over that now your
secret’s safe looks like all the other
outlets
your house have you got so much stuff
that you need a bigger safe try
upgrading to a double gang this gives
you nearly twice the storage space and
installs just as easily as the others as
a final thought if you don’t want to
spend the $3.00 on materials or cut
holes in your walls just look for one of
these cable jacks around the house
the cables protected there’s plenty of
space inside and it’s a great place for
hiding things like your list of computer
passwords not only is this option free
but chances are you’ve already got them
all over the house well now you know how
to make an easy secret safe for hiding
important stuff if you like this project
