Custom Cue Case Cabinets

You'd want a hygrometer so you'd know the humidity level. Maybe a dehumidifier?.... just to be safe. What about fire protection?

got the first two already ..

as for the fire, i have full insurance plus will discuss the steel gauge after they take the measurements at my office tomorrow....
 
You need to buy a Liberty brand gun safe 2nd place is national baicaly same design but Liberty has a high fire burn ratio then any safe out there I think its the presidential line that has a 3hr rating @2,000 degree. Most fires last 2-3 hrs before they ar extinguished completely. The hottest spot for the fire is generaly the garage to many combustionables in there.

I used to sell them 10 yrs ago when I had a gun shop. research them you can keep letters and harddrives in there and the will make it through a fire with little to no damage.If you install a dehumidifire in the safe you wil need to get some fire plug caulk or putty to fill in the hole were the cord goes.

fire

confirmed a 90 mins fire resistant steel ....

things are looking good ....

learnt something new today about insurance ... if you keep anything on top of the safe or touching it on the side and if there is a fire, the insurance company can delay or not pay the settlement due to the fact that that item could have accelerated the damage to the safe ... one more way they can worm out of paying you !

so keep your safes isolated ...
 
Hygrometer with an external probe would work nicely, place the external probe inside the safe for easy monitoring. Gun safes have dehumidifying devices that can be installed inside the safe.

Keep in mind that the flash point of what the safe is rated for is different than what you might be storing in it. If a safe is rated for gun storage, then the flash point will be different than for wood and paper. Same holds true when you store magnetic or film media inside of it. You'll want to check into that a little more and make adjustments.

one cabinet is completely empty while the other will have slots to hold cues cases in place.

Kam, Nice design. Very well thought out. You sure you have enough space for all your cues and future ones coming? ;)
 
Does this mean that all your cues will definitely be stored inside Ron Thomas cases at all times inside of the safe? I was considering building a storage cabinet/safe for my cues. Part of the reason why I started to collect O'Neil Dealer Cases that have the removable plush tray inserts that I could use to fill drawers on sliding ball bearing rails. Got this idea from the old Best Billiards cue safe that is now happily at home in the J&J Cue America warehouse storing all their high end cues. I wonder if the owner will let me take a picture of the cue safe. Been a while since I've visited them...

not necessarily ron's cases .. i have 2 4x8 coming from whitten .. hence the 2 cabinet design.. one is just a big empty space so i can store any type of case ... and one has slots of various widths so i can use cases from other makers as well and cases with pockets as well as without...
 
here's my problem ...

i have about 20 cases now and i just can't store them in my home anymore...

so i rented a storage facility locker ... BUT my insurance company will no longer cover them there ( guess i should have checked before moving them )

so..........

i would like to build a cabinet in my office .... not for individual cues but cases ...

any suggestions ?

flooring ... i was thinking tiles so they are dead straight and the cases can stay upright on their own ...

sides and top - laminated wood ? or steel ?

my office has all the windows blocked out so no sun ... i guess i can leave a small dehumidifier on to keep it dry and the air circulating in the area ...

i dunno .. suggestions, guys ?? do's and don't to keep in mind ??

pictures would be highly appreciated ...

there are great contractors here so as long as i have a concept, i can get it made ....

thanks in advance to all...

1. A gun safe
2. Don't tell people what you have or you can be targeted.
 
one is lined so that the cases don't get scratched ...
