Wall Safe concealing

Anyone know of a source for frames or mirrors mounted on hinges to cover a wall safe?


Just about any frame should work.... try taking a pair of hinges and mouting them together, so that when they get opened they have a good clearance from the wall, but while closed, are fairly flush.

Be sure to use a painting of a safe, or a dollar sign bag!

Not ready made. Get the hinges and the mirror or frame and combine the two. If it's going in a drywall and stud wall keep in mind if they find it a sawzall will make short work of getting it out.

Known as European style hinges, these are commonly used on cabinets without face frames. If you go to your local home improvement center, and go to the department where they have all the kitchen mockups showing all the choices for cabinets and appliances you should see them in action.

They mount in the inside of the cabinet, and attach to the inside of the door. they are adjustable in all directions so mounting and adjusting is easy.

You can also look for push latches. This will allow a flush panel to be pressed to unlatch and that might be something you might want to consider.
