This Air Vent Secret Wall Safe is easy to make. Start by purchasing any size air vent cover from local hardware store.
Cut two notches in the sheet rock for mounting cabinet magnets. A backing plate can be made out of 1x3 and the magnets attached to that backing plate.
Once in position the backing plate is secured with two sheet rock screws. Both of these screws will be covered by the air vent cover.
Finished Air Vent Wall Safe is held securely to the wall and will hide valuables in plane sight. No one will ever suspect the vent is really just a door to a secret hidden wall safe. Please watch the short video posted above for additional information on building and installation.
Secret Compartment Air Vent Wall Safe
We used black felt and a hot glue gun to cover the back side of the open vent. This way anyone looking through the vent will have they illusion of an open vent but will not see anything hidden inside the wall safe.
Cut a hold through sheet rock wall with and then measure distance between studs. We used a 2x4 for the floor. Cut the corner off one edge which will allow it to rotate into position a little easier.
