If you're like most Americans…you probably keep your home defense weapon in a safe… usually, in your master bedroom closet. Nothing wrong with that except...what if you need to quickly access it in an emergency to protect your family or home?
By the time you make your way to the safe and unlock (in the dark)...you’re already too late.
In fact, many experts believe if you can’t get to your gun within 10-15 seconds there’s no point of having it around as home defense weapon.
In order to effectively protect yourself, family and property you need to be able to get to your weapon in seconds.
So what do you do?
Well, you'd like to keep your weapon at arm's reach... but that's not exactly practical. And...having firearms locked-up rooms away defeats the purpose of having them. The solution is to strategically place a Tactical Rack in your home or business
The Tactical Rack is a 36” long x 15” tall handmade, hand distressed, and hand stained/sealed coat rack/secret gun concealment cabinet that will look incredible in your home. But amazing looks aren’t the only benefit.
Behind the solid wood upper unit is a hidden trap door that has over 34 ½” X 7½” inches of interior space that quickly and easily conceals & locks your guns, magazines or even valuables in plain sight anywhere in your house
That’s because the secret compartment is completely concealed… meaning no hinges or locks are visible to the eye.
This gives you lightning fast access to your guns in any room of your house and provides a perfect LOCKED hiding spot for other valuables like jewelry, documents and even prescription drugs you want out of sight.
The Tactical Rack has no keys to lose, no magnets and no combinations to remember. Instead, you get a choice of “push to open” or a state of the art RFID (radio frequency Identification locking system) that opens the shelf in one second. Here’s how it works if you choose the RFID lock option at checkout…
If that wasn’t cool enough….the RFID lock comes with a built in safeguard that warns you when the batteries need replacing as well as a hidden battery backup jack so you never have to worry about being locked out
The Tactical Rack itself is made out real American white pine… the same type of timber that’s used to build high-end rustic furniture
After the logs are dried and milled into lumber…one of our master cabinet builders will hand select each board that will be used for your Tactical Rack. Only, best boards with the most grain character are selected…the rest end up in the fire pit.
Next, we cut each piece to the precise tolerances by hand so the secret compartment is invisible to the eye. The Rack is then lightly distressed, the old fashioned way, with a chisel by one of our master carpenters giving it a one of kind reclaimed wood look that no machine can replicate.
Finally, unit is sanded and stained by hand carefully making sure the natural beauty of the grain shows without being blotchy. This gives it a rustic feel but with high end looks.
It’s truly an art form which is why you will never see a product of this quality sold in Wal-Mart or Target. Best of all, it’s functional… no one will ever suspect you have your guns hidden inside.
Take a look at the picture below…it’s virtually impossible to see the secret trap door with two hidden pistols inside…
I’ll be the first to tell you…we don’t build the cheapest concealment cabinets on the market but we do build the BEST. If you’re looking to save $20 by buying a cheap particle board cabinet with amateur stain job that will last a month before it breaks- This product is NOT for you. You can find that on Etsy. But if you’re type of demands the best quality and value for your hard earned money then you’ll going to love the Tactical Rack. It’s furniture quality, super sturdy and designed to last a lifetime.
Each Tactical Rack comes with a customizable foam pad that is to be trimmed to fit your weapon as well as a quick draw gun magnet that will hold your gear in place so you never have to worry about your guns falling out.
Simply place your gear on top of the foam however you want to display it. With a handheld razor, cut around your weapon, your optics and your magazines, whatever, and peel away excess foam and you get perfect fit. Your firearm will snug safely and securely into place. The foam is deep enough to hold any weapon you have.
Did I just use the word “decor”? Don’t tell anyone! But seriously, we can make your Tactical Trap in any choice of six wood stains... Natural, Dark Walnut, Cherry, Maple, Ebony or unfinished that can be painted or stained in whatever color you choose.
The Tactical Rack designed to work easily with standard 2x4 construction... so it can be safely and securely mounted on any wall in any home or apartment. You don’t have to do any custom work to the wall... there’s no wall cutting or anything like that.
Just open up the box and screw it to your wall with the included hardware. It will take 10-minutes or so to install it... and the hardest thing you may experience installing The Tactical Rack is what wall to install it on.
One question I get all the time is….”where should I mount my Tactical Rack?” The answer is anywhere you want.
Some people put it in the foyer by their door. Others put it in the living room, man cave, home office, bedroom or even bathroom (you never know-right). The Rack looks amazing no matter where you mount it. This is a big reason why the majority of our customers order 2 or more Tactical Racks.

Premium ¾ wood (the best of the best) is incredibly strong: Not only will your shelf last longer, you can store much more gear inside without fear of it breaking. Premium ¾ wood is more durable so it won’t bend or bow or sag, even if your wall isn’t perfectly level. Premium ¾ wood will look like a million bucks in any room you put it in. It’s the same top quality wood used to build high-end custom kitchen cabinets so it will last a lifetime.
Legally I can’t send you an actual box of ammo. So, the best way for me to do that is making a deposit of 2100 Rewards Points into your account which is equal to enough money to buy yourself a box off ammo with some change left over

A lot less than you might think considering furniture quality concealment units like this retail for as much as $627+. That’s not a misprint…the lock alone retails for over $100. That doesn’t even account for the wood carpentry, hand distressing, furniture quality finish, LED light, real wood upgrade and high-density foam insert.
It could literally cost you $400 to build it yourself. That’s not a misprint… feel free to call a local cabinet shop and see what they charge by the hour for a CNC work and you’ll quickly see you’re getting a bargain for the price we are asking.
Plus even if it did cost you $400 - how can you put a price on you and your family's lives and safety? You can’t… protecting your family, home and property is worth any amount of money.

If I could give you a 10 stars I would. Great shelves. I have shown several people who are interested.
I truly appreciate the workmanship that you put into all of the shelves and flag that I purchased. I got the shelves unfinished and stained them myself, but the flag trap I received already painted is awesome.I am so happy with your products I am interested in purchasing more to sell in my store. My initial thoughts would be to purchase at least 2 of each shelf, and 2 of the red white & blue flags, and 2 of the darker flags.
I have a Tactical Traps shelf installed in my den ? too high for young hands to reach but easy for me to access the contents.? As with most of us who value the ability to protect ourselves and quick access to our firearms, I haven't needed to use what's inside but having it 'at hand' gives me the knowledge that it's there when and if I need it.? The shelf was easy to install and is easy to access (which I do practice) ? I highly recommend the Tactical Trap units for easy access security.? I'd rate the quality and accessibility as a Five Star ? couldn't be better.
I have been searching for some place to have a few of my guns readily available in case of an emergency and I happened to come across your product and was originally kind of iffy on wether the look and quality would be up to standard. Wow, I was pleasantly surprised with the long and shorter versions I bought! The wood is very nice and the quality of it is AAA. The craftsmanship is top notch, perfectly fitted and the concept works very well, opening easily and with the lights that were included, there's no problem seeing in an emergency if your power would happen to be out. The batteries for the lights and unit itself are easy to access and change out, plus the alert system when the batteries are running low is an added peace of mind. The unit opens very smooth and is rock solid. Plus if you have a few guns, etc stashed around your home, this is definitely a nice place to keep them instead of hiding them all over, and mounting them was pretty easy. I'm very happy with my purchase and can say if you're looking for somewhere to keep some items hidden but easily accessible these are for you. Classic looking piece of furniture but very functional! Well done!
I am truly amazed at the quality and craftsmanship put into my tactical trap shelf. I ordered the unfinished wood so I could stain my shelf to match the other cabinets in my man cave. The shelf arrived 100% ready for stain. No additional sanding or filling in trim nail holes. I stained and put on 3 coats of poly and mounted my shelf to the wall. Not only does it match everything it functions as promised! I will recommend tactical traps to anyone looking for excellent quality and top performance concealment.?
My 2 pistol shelves work great and look awesome.? No one would ever know theres a gun hid inside. My only issue is the Freedom Rifle shelf, it ???looks great but will not open with the key card.? I have contacted the company to get further instruction.? But all in all, I love it.
Love our Tactical shelves! They actually look nicer than I thought and add a beautiful floating shelf look to foyer and bedroom! No one would ever know! Also love the light that turns on when opened...great touch!?
The install was fairly simple, it functions great, I only regret that I don't know more people I trust enough to show it off.
Love the shelve and the quality of how it was made. I did however have quite a bit of trouble getting it to close because the pin was not lining up. You replied back and told me what to do and it fixed the problem. I would highly recommend this to anyone that has guns to store in and able to have access to when you need it.?
I have been to a lot of guns shows and seen a lot of secret shelves ,compartment etc.... and the overall fit and finish and craftsmanship of tactical traps is second to none , I like that it is also very easy to install. I am a custom home builder and we make a lot of our own wood beams,mantels so I don't buy a lot of other people's wood products because they are usually Crap but not tactical traps worth every penny!!!!
This thing is awesome it works great it's functional as a shelf and it's in plain site and I have shown it to three different people and I'm pretty sure they have bought one and or are soon to buy one. But I love mine as it looks great and serves a purpose it also serves a bigger purpose as what it hides.?
Excellent Investment!
Craftsmanship and hardware are excellent, apperance is beautiful, instructions were simple and easy to follow; I gave it a 4\/5 because I did not like that the shelfs gas piston which allows the shelf to open. It was too small for me. I actually removed it and just replaced it with a cable to allow the shelf to open another 15 degrees which also allowed me to remove my rifle without bumping the barrel or stock against the inside of the shelf.
I have bought 4 tactical traps the last would be the American flag trap I purchased. My flag trap was two inches to small for my gun but it's okay.? I currently have a trap in both of my living rooms, kitchen, loft, and bedroom.
I love my shelf, it is the perfect size it fits well with my Decour. People walk past it and never know it is armed and dangerous. The three people who know what it is(wife and kids) refer to it as some James Bond stuff. It was very easy to mount and a nice piece to just look out, well-made and nicely finished.
I love the shelf and the privacy and security it offers, it's beautiful and functional There are two things that I think would make it better than the exceptional shelf it is, to make it extraordinary is one included proper screws, maybe one set for wood and one for sheetrock and probably more importantly an extra set of screws (larger than the ones included but will still work if you get locked out of the system and have to break the previous screw system which I did with the wonderful instructions when I called for help since I did not put my second shelf up for a few months.
I recently purchased the Flag wall mount & am very pleased with the ease of installation as well as it appearing as a piece of wall art in the house.? I would not have a problem recommending it to my friends or family.? There is room for pistols and magazines to be stored.
Bought my tactical trap shelf almost a year ago and I couldn't be more pleased. It is made out of best products and it looks great. The lock and hinges are first rate and function perfectly. It was easy to install and the best thing of all is that anything I store in it is 100 percent safe and sound
These tactical shelves blend well in to any home, safeguarding your weapons, while placing them strategically close to a potential encounter. Quick to access, well constructed. We thought so much of them, we bought 2. The smaller for hand guns and one for a rifle.?
this is a very well built piece of furniture amazing looking great holds all for my guns I am very thankful for your product keep up the good work
I love my shelf! It is awesome!
I am a retired PA State Trooper.I must give the shelf 5 stars. You will NEVER get the level of support and quality with other products.
They came in a well pack box and in a timely manner?Easy to install as well
It was a gift for my oldest son and he was BEYOND delighted with it!
My tactical trap is great. It hangs on my wall like a normal shelf,? but if needed,? protection is in plain sight. Friends are amazed when they realize it's not just a well crafted shelf. As a Police Officer, I love tactical stuff, and my tactical trap is one of the coolest.... thank you!!
The shelf is beautiful and well crafted. The mechanism worked flawlessly. I'm blessed in that I haven't had to use it to access my firearm, but I am confident it will work just as flawlessly if I do need it. And to top it off, my wife loves the look of the shelf in our bedroom.
I very much like the shelf. It looks good and works well. I was a little disappointed in the foam that came with it however, I wish it had been thicker to better hold my handgun and Mags. Overall I was satisfied and would recommend this product as it does very well what it was designed to do.
I love my TacTrap, I would have given it a 5 but I think the RFID should be smaller and and to be hidden in the bottom of a candle or something. ?The card is not easy to hide
I have purchased 2 of your shelf units for my residence and looking to purchase a couple of the flag display units to conceal my handguns. I have been well pleased with the shelving units and give the overall product evaluation a rating of 5 stars. ?
I bought bothe tactical traps shelf systems; the short one hold 2 pistols perfect & the long one holds 1 rifle & 1 pistol. Both look & work FANTASTIC love my tactical traps shelfs! THANKS!
I have really enjoyed my shelf.? The quality is top notch.? The size is perfect for the items I want stored in there.? It fits the decor nicely and nobody suspects it is anything but a shelf.? That is all I could ask for, to feel that I am helping my home and family be more secure while remaining stealthy about it.
I absolutely love it. ?My only complaint was the closing of the shelf sometimes is difficult because the material was a tiny bit off. ?Otherwise the card and everything else works amazingly.
The shelf is the right size. Unfortuately the front flag cover does not fit flush with box part of the shelf. From the side you can tell that there is a box there. I looked up the instructions on how to adjust it, but the hinges I got on this trap are not ajdjustable.
Being a grandparent with any of our grandkids visiting at any time, the security of knowing our guns are out of sight and locked away is invaluable. They have no idea that this isn't just a shelf with their pictures on it. We love the fact that it looks so good on our wall. We own two of these shelves, they are very high quality, well made and great looking?. Thank you for offering such a great item. Everyone should own one (or two)
The shelf is perfect. It looks like a high end floating shelf on it's own, but when I activate it, is an important party of my home security. Looks great, works great. I am now installing another in my home. Great product.
The shelf is beautiful: Perfect size for me. nice wood & well made. The reason for one star deducted is that the latch has been a problem. Sometimes it opens okay and other times it unlatches, but sticks unlocked but not open. I have to manually pull it down. I have called for help twice and tried the adjustment on the pin by turning slightly and then it may get worse. So, the best final adjustment that works for the moment may not work the next time. Not serious, but annoying and in an emergency . . . you know.
It is awesome and improves our interior decorating!
It does everything claimed in the advertising, easy to put up and adjust to work perfect. It looks good in my office, and I have one ordered for home. I would highly recommend, even without the free magnet!! LOL.
It looks and works great! Easier than I thought to mount. Cutting the foam is hard when you have 10 thumbs, but probably easy if you're normal. It looks great and works like it's supposed to.
I'm happy with my shelf. Only two things that troubled me. One I never received my light that comes with on either of my shelves. Second what do I do about my AR15 shelf. It operates fine but one side doesn't close quite as much as the second. Should I adjust the latch slightly? Other than that, your product is awesome. Love it.?
Love the shelf I did a little carpentry and installed keyhole screw mounts so I could get a super flush mount leveling was a challenge but I got it done the keyhole mounts make it more easy to remove if I want to paint the wall the black lacquer fits perfectly with my Asian decor
I bought bothe tactical traps shelf systems; the short one hold 2 pistols perfect & the long one holds 1 rifle & 1 pistol. Both look & work FANTASTIC love my tactical traps shelf's! THANKS! 5 stars for sure!
The shelf is a great size for my handgun and clips.? I feel better having access to my gun where it is now compared to waking up and fumbling for a key to a gun safe.? It was easy to hang.? I bought the unfinished model and stained it to match my room.? All in all a great product.? I definitely recommend this product.
I have been shooting for 18 years and have had many safes. This is great next to the bed for quick access and the wife doesn't mind because it look s great. With 2 young kids in the house who dont know what it is I trust it with keeping my kids from getting access.
I bought my Tactical Trap shelf in December 2017 and it arrived within a couple weeks.? I was impressed with the quality of the shelf and contrustion.? I have since mounted and modified the interior to hold my Sig Saur, extra mag, combat knife and small led flashlight.? It held up very well during mounting and the foam was easy to modify.? I definitely recommend this product for anyone wanting to add a concealment shelf to any part of their home.
Just a brief?summary of your shelf, experience, would you recommend us, etc. Love our shelf! We have a small area between our windows and our shelf fit perfectly! The quality is top notch. Looks very stylish also. Thanks?for providing us with a useful shelf to hide our pistol!!
I bought two shelves, one holds my Remington 870 shotgun, and the other holds my CZ75B and my M&P Shield with extra magazines.? They look great and provide the safety and availability I want.? Great products.
I have 2 shelves the smaller and the rifle one. I installed the smaller one outside the bedroom door close the the front door.? It has a Judge, and a tactical flashlight.? Both fit well.? The workmanship is excellent and the plain finish matches the cypress walsl well.? RATING HARD TO GO 5 BUT A 4.75.? Why the 4.75; I have trouble finding the sweet spot to place the card, then it drops kinda slow.? If I need it in a hurry, well....? When I redo the bedroom in my man cave home, I will install the Mini 30 and Technical light in it, just above the bed as a mantel below an awesome pen and ink drawing of a golden eagle flying off with a rainbow trout.
Tactical Traps?shelf is Ahmazing!? I ordered one but the color wasn't what I wanted, so I ordered another one in the right color and made arrangements to return the first.? Before I got the first one back in the package to return it, my son-in-law stopped by and was in love with it.? I ended up giving that one to him as an early birthday present.? Meanwhile, I was so happy with the one that I got that I ordered one of the flag shelf too!? They are well made, a great size, and well worth money.? I may well buy a few more as gifts for my other children's homes!
The shelf material and build quality is good. Not in love with the mounting system of just screwing the back board into the wall. Maybe there could be some metal plates inside to reinforce. This makes me fearful to put much weight into the shelf. The foam insert is almost useless. I had to purchase some foam from Amazon to make cut outs for my weapons. The shipping containers were quite flimsy and as a result one of my shelves arrived with some broken internal hardware. The price seems fairly premium for these units but I would recommend. I would just also include the issues I encountered in my recommendation.
N\/A
your website was a little tricky to maneuver, but I did manage to get my order in.? It was a Christmas present for my husband & because your system didn't give me a timeline on when to expect my shelf, I had to send an email to you and request it.? But I did receive it in time and in fact, I received it one day sooner than what you advised me of when I did ask. ?The quality of work was as I expected and it was what was promised to me as well.? My husband loves it!!? I'm very satisfied with my purchase and would like to see what else you carry for future purchases.? I would still give you a big fat?5?because?even though I had to contact you to find out when it would be shipped, your staff responded to me so quickly and they were true to their timeline that they gave me.??Hands down, still a better vender to work with then most other venders I shopped at this year.
I did have some problems once I installed the unit. When I put the prox. card to it I could hear the mechanism release but it wouldn't open. I contacted the company and they were great to deal with, they sent me an air bladder tool that I used to open the storage section of the shelf. I then texted a picture of the locking mechanism to the company and they immediately sent out a new locking post that had a ring removed near to where the post sits in the lock. I installed the new part and it has worked great since. I have recommended it highly to friends and family.
I have bought 2 of your shelves. I have one in our bedroom and one in the living room. I have placed them in a convenient place so that my wife or I can easily get to them. They also look nice with the rest of our decore. We haven't had to use them as of yet but, at least they are there if we have to.
The shelf is working find and I have recommended to three of my friends.
Awesome finish and clean lines with an eye on the details. Magnetic release is smooth as silk. Nicely done.
Hand gun shelf is fantastic.? Looks great. We like that we do not need a key, just slide the key card across the top to open.
Love my shelf it hold both my glocks. No one would ever know if I didn?t show them.
I would recommend it to anyone
I have 6 shelves and 1 flag. My friends and family were amazed, I got them all one for Christmas. They love them as much as me. ?
I received the flag box the other day and had to wait for the weekend so I had time to mount it properly. After three or four measurements, it now proudly hangs on my wall - I would give it ?50? stars, but 5 will have to do.
I purchased the shelf as a gift for my son-in-law. He is quite the craftsman and a perfectionist. He is beyond thrilled!? He is very impressed with the mechanics of it. How well made it is and how smoothly it opens. And he is able to keep one of his many handguns so easily accessible but so well hidden. He truly loves it. The shelf itself is beautiful and the hidden gun cabinet makes it awesome!!? We both give it 5 Stars!!
I took off .5 stars because mine didn't come with a light and I had to reach out for one to be shipped. Great quality, awesome company, easy to install. Advice ? include pick and pull foam to make the customization easier. Provide smaller keycard so it's easier to hide the key under smaller objects. Other than that, I love it. I do recommend you all the time. Have sent out a lick to your site at least ten times. Love it.
I bought two tactical traps from your company. The smaller of the two being for handguns and the other for long guns. I really like the way it?s made. They are a very solid, sturdy and nice looking piece of furniture. ?Unfortunately I had some trouble with a lock not operating properly. I believe it had to with the battery life. fortunately your people, much to their credit, were up to the task in helping me fix the problem and move forward. If I were to make a suggestion I would change the way the trap is shipped so as to not risk battery \/ lock failure. Maybe have the buyer remove a plastic tab that would activate the battery of even have the battery installed when ready to use. Other than that I?m very happy with my pieces and would definitely spread the word.?
Works excellent and opens nicely.? ?Finish and wood work is excellent.??
I?ve had this shelf for about a year now. The wife really likes it. When I?m not home she always has a weapon by the door ready to answer it. She is not afraid to answer the door any more. Every one needs one.
I ordered 2 Tactical Traps shelves.? One for me and another one for my son.? We both rate them a full 5 stars, so that's a total of 10 stars.? Couldn't get much better.? They were easy to install, they look great, and nobody knows what's hidden inside.? I hope I never have to use mine in an emergency, but I know that nobody will be a threat now that it's there.
The finish quality of my shelf was what I was worried about when ordering. When it arrived I was pleasantly surprised with a high quality finish that I can place right next to a bookcase that I built and finished myself and they look like they were made in the same shop. The mechanics of the shelf work perfectly. I highly recommend your products to all of my friends.?
I would and have recommend the shelf to others. I've enjoyed my shelfs and like everything about them, although i do have a slight issue with the large one.It doesn't always open by it's self when unlocking it. When it doesn't I have to push up on it to get it to drop. I have you found that after closing it, it sometimes helps to push up on both ends multiple times, even though it is already closed and locked. My best guess is the locks aren't lined up quite right and it hangs up.
The quality was very good and it has excellent functionality. I'm very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this product to a friend within hesitation
I think my shelf is perfect, I show it off to everyone, only if I know they won?t be ripping me off :) I have recommended it to several friends, I hope when the battery runs dead it will let me know or open up and I think I read it will.
I purchased 2-Large and 2-small shelves. Very nice quality, I would recommend.?
Perfect fit, I mounted it in my living room close to the front door under my flat screen TV.?
I love it and it does exactly what I'd hoped it would. It is built very strongly and appears quite durable.
Love the tactical shelf.! Definitely letting my friends and family know about it. Looks good on my wall, high quality. Fits my 9mm, 2 extended clips, knife and flashlight. When I finish my next room, I'm putting another one in.
It's a solid and beautiful piece with the mechanism working well. It did take some time however to install solidly and level, so it would be nice if in the future you provide mounting pieces and a stencil.?
I really like the flag concealment box. It matches my decor perfectly. The multiple access cards and motion light are an added benefit.?Keep up with the great products and keep improving, ?we'll keep buying.?
Great quality product. Works exactly as advertised. Could be a little wider to allow 2 stud attachment. But can be worked around.
It is everything I was hoping for.
Had problems with my lock after a year called and they sent out a new lock immediately great service I would recommend them highly I also bought there new shelf of flag just recently and a laser sight
I have had my TacticalTrap now for several months and I love it. The finish is excellent and resembles a fine wood product, and by chance matches my entry mirror\/coat rack perfectly. The mounting system you designed seems to be very secure, no movement at all even when filled with weapon and spare magazines. The operation is easy and smooth, with the extra key cards provided I an able to have several opening options, which makes it more accessible. If I have any criticism it is that for me the shelf opens a bit too slow. Perhaps this is because either the gas struts are new or I don't have enough weight in it, but when I need access I really don't want to wait for it to open, hope this improves with use. The fit and finish is awesome and the size is perfect for my application, couldn't be happier as your product has solved one of the biggest issues with having a self defense weapon readily at had, but still secure... good job!
I have had back surgery recently so I have not had the time or the power to mount but one of the shelves and I can tell you the night I had the surgery There was a loud banging and the doorbell was going crazy at 3:15 am in the morning. Now I live in the country setting somewhat and there is never any good news at your front door at 3:15 in the morning.. I had to answer the front door but not without having piece of mind as the shelf worked in perfect order and I had my hand on my 9mm Taurus as my other hand was on the front door. It turned out there were two deputies from a neighboring county asking permission to go into my back field as they were chasing a suspect running from them. I can attest without your product and the work you guys do I would have been in a very different situation. I give you guys 5 stars on how well it is built and access into this shelf is absolutely flawless! Recommend one of these in every gun owners home. They won't be disappointed.
I could not believe it when I opened the package. I had high expectations, and they were clearly met. The color was exactly what I had requested, as was the size. But as I examined the shelf, I was impressed by the quality of craftsmanship that went into making this. There is nothing flimsy about this shelf, nor would anyone suspect it concealed my pistol. It just looks like an ornate shelf that matches my furniture. It does make a slight clicking sound when the RFID card is slid over the activation spot (I opted for the RFID over the magnet), but it would not be discernible to an intruder. The secret compartment opens easily and absolutely silently, and makes the weapon easily accessible. The interior has adhesive backed foam rubber that will need to be cut to fit a gun. I wish it had been a tad thicker, but it worked just fine. The instructions with the shelf were very clear and detailed. I would and do recommend this shelf to anyone seeking to keep a weapon handy yet hidden, and who desires a product that is solidly and beautifully made. I am very pleased with my purchase, as is my wife.
Bought 2 shields, one short one long, super high quality and they work and look flawless! They are amazing and totally inconspicuous!
My name is Jeff and if I could give the concealment shelf 6 stars I would! This is with no doubt a 5 star quality product. I ordered mine unfinished so I could choose my own color. A buddy of mine who is a gun enthusiast and a finish carpenter helped me hang it. He raves about the quality and the the thought process behind it!
I am more than happy with Tactical Traps it very well made. It fit perfectly no one no's what it is they love the shelf. My son know he thinking about getting one. The only regret is I pick the wrong color. Out side of that it every easy to access. It is definitely a five
Maureen here to let you know my husband, Bill and I love your shelf so much we bought 2 of them. We are considering a purchase of the American flag too. These shelves are a 5 STARS in our books. Your company and quality are top notch and we thank you. Looking forward to receiving the Magnet as a loyal customer and proud of it.
I loved it as soon as I received it!! The workmanship is amazing, now I have to fend off my buddies who are trying to take it before I've had a chance to even hang it up!
I bought 2 shelves and they are fantastic 5 star rating. The shelves arrived in the time period given and looked beautiful out of the box. My wife was skeptical when I ordered them but she loves how the look and she uses them more than I do. Its not just for storing a gun, she stores our passports and other travel documents, plus an emergency stash of money. We have a house keeper that has no idea the shelves have a hidden compartment, and she cleans the shelves every week.
My Tactical Shelf is just what I was looking for to keep my firearms readily available, but totally out of sight. I mounted mine in my front hall and it fits right in with my decor. I would highly recommend this product to anyone interested.
We love our TT shelf. Just inside the front door. Install was easy, looks great and operates flawlessly. High enough that the little ones can't reach. Really glad we have it and pray we never have to use it.
Love these shelves!!! My wife and I were looking for a way to safely conceal our weapons but have quick access when needed. Not only do these shelves look great but they work perfectly. Best investment I've made in gun safety. Would recommend these to anyone and everyone.
I have a Tactical Trap shelf and absolutely love it. Not only does it look and feel like a solid, well crafted shelf, it works phenomenally well. Mounting it took less than an hour and was simple. I store my pistol, along with my passport and emergency cash, in the shelf and am comfortable knowing that all items are quickly and easily accessible during an emergency. I cannot recommend Tactical Traps highly enough.
I could not be more pleased with my Tactical Traps concealed storage weapons shelf. As a retired US Navy Nuclear Submarine Captain, I truly appreciate both function and quality in any product. The Tactical Trap shelf has both. Thank you for creating such an innovative product.
I give the tactical shelf 5 stars because of the fine craftsmanship used to make it. I love it. It is big enough to hold 2 large handguns with extra magazines for each. It opens flawlessly and built tough with real wood. I would definitely recommend this product to every gun enthusiast out there.
Purchased as a christmas gift for my wife, shelf is very good looking and not obvious at all. It opens nicely and like the foam insert and light that came with it. I do recommend this product.
Gave it as a Christmas gift to my husband. He thought it was fantastic! Hung it on the wall next to our bed, looks like a night table. It took a little work to get it just right so it would open a nd close perfectly but my husband got exactly right and it works great!
I was very please with the fit n finish and the construction of my 2 tactical traps shelves. I got both the smaller pistol and larger rifle with the r.f.i.d. locking system and they have both been awesome!!! The shipping time was fairly fast and the product was exactly as described by the company and promo video I watched. I have already and would definitely keep recommending these products to my friends and others interested in buying tactical shelves from this company. Keep up the good work Tactical Traps!!!!
Your products are remarkable quality is top notch . I show all my close friends, THANKS for making such a awesome product. Ty
I have two Tacital Trap shelves. One large one over the fireplace and one small one. I liked the small one so much with the Glock, we purchased the larger one. I highly recommend it.
I would say I?m very pleased with the craftsmanship and the ease of installation. I love the shelf for various reasons. Starting with I?ve mounted it high to where children can?t access the shelf and have hidden the card glued on the bottom of a vase to be more inconspicuous. I?ve had many many people in the house and they have never known the ease of access to protection for the residence. Two of my closest friends, I?ve shown the trap and how it works: they have ordered one for themselves. My wife and I both agree that the times have changed and we have both once a month walk through a scenario together just so you have a response under pressure. The Tact Trap is very well thought of at our house: enough to have two in the house to cover ease of access. I really need the bigger trap for the larger weapon but will have to save a little more.
The cases are beautiful and totally functional, if I can get my wife to quit misplacing her keys!!! Hold all weapons securely, with mags, open quickly and relatively quietly. I have 3, 2 are totally functional and I need help with the large shelf. MY FAULT!!! I received the shelf and then moved, it got stored away in my garage while I decided where to mount in the new house, and for a WHILE my wife and I heard a muffled beeping sound, which died. I now have discovered that it was the batteries dying in the shelf, and I can't open it. HELP!!!!!
I ordered both sizes of shelves. I did upgrade the thickness of wood on the larger one. I am extremely happy with the size, craftsmanship, and price of the units. I have never mentioned the use of the shelf to any visitor who visits my house. Most comment how great a job I did building them. The locking mechanism has gone off without a hitch so far. Can't be more happy!
It is just the right size to hold the gun I have and it looks like a decorative shelf. No one would ever know what it holds. I would highly recommend this to anyone.
I ordered in the plain wood, it was fun to stain in order to get it to match my furniture, it blends in with the room amazing and most of all gives me peace of mind in an emergency situation. My gun with the tactical light and extra magazines fit inside perfect. The auto light is an added bonus. Iv shown my secret to some family members and close friends and they are all blown away by how cool the shelf is. Thanks tactical shelf for such an amazing home defense product.
5 stars on the shelves I have 3 of them, Really well built. they work perfectly and really no one has been any the wiser. Our home is party central for our family and friends so making them blend in was huge for me. Kids dont even notice them. Friends hanging out are leaning on one most of the night! Highly recommend these. Fit finish and strength make them ideal Thanks again
I have both the large and small shelf. They work great. I am looking to purchase another soon for my addition. My dad liked them so much, he also bought two for his home. Installation is easy with two people. A little tough doing it myself, especially the 4 foot shelf. Maybe have a locking bracket system that you can install and slide shelf down onto to hold. Then you could add a couple of screws to secure it.
My Shelf is a beautiful pc of furniture hanging on my wall. Great quality and finish. Access is easy and fast which is what I wanted. With the RFID access card, everything is secure. I wouldn't change a thing. Thank you
The craftsmanship is outstanding. I purchased the rifle and 2 pistol versions for myself. The rifle version has plenty of room for an AR platform , several mags and a knife and flash light. I have yet to open the 2 pistol version. I gave 4.75 stars, instead of 5 because I was under the impression that a single magnet placed on top of the shelf would release the shelf.....the model I received required 2 magnets be placed in very particular places on the bottom of the she to release the locks. While this doesn't make it useless, I think it would be very difficult to accomplish under high stress conditions. I therefore intend to use it mainly for covert storage and not as my go to for emergencies. I am hoping the smaller version is what was depicted on the website. Still thrilled with the tactical trap for its innovation and quality.....slightly disappointed with the locking system.
The quality of the shelf I have received is excellent, beautifully stained and an exceptional addition to my home. Works wonderfully and stores my weapons without the unsightly appearance of firearms in a house with children. The comfort of knowing they are within easy access should I need them gives me a peace of mind only a mother with combat experience could understand. As a combat veteran, I understand, "Security is a perception...not a reality." My only fault with the your service is I still haven't recieved the light that was to accompany the shelf. If they are now in stock, may I have it shipped to the above address? I have the blue paper stating it would be shipped to me.
I love the shelf, but I haven't been able to put it up yet. It is 3\/8" too long to go anywhere in my house. The long walls are filled with windows, beds, sofas, fireplaces, built-ins or something I can't move. The short walls, like either side of the front door in the foyer, are 3\/8" too short for the shelf. I have wood trim moulding around every opening, and I can't cut a 3\/8" piece out of the door facing so the shelf will fit. I am considering giving up my piano, which would open up a spot, even though I don't want to do that. I measured before I ordered, but I didn't consider the moulding. I only measured the walls in the entry, and saw it would be tight. I have a big, 2 story house, with 3000 sq. ft downstairs. So I thought, "If it won't fit there, I'll find someplace to put it." I never dreamed it wouldn't fit on any wall in the house. But it is beautiful and I love it. The quality is superb, which only makes it harder. It has been a terrible dilemma for us. If you have any ideas, I would be eager to hear them. Thanks. And I look forward to hearing from you, and also getting the magnet holder.
The only limitations I had was the place I wanted to put it was to narrow to fit the shelf in. I had to put it in the second choice place.I have already recommended it to several people.
I live outside of Los Angeles and I bought myself one for my Business. I own a towing Company and at times we get some real irate people. My shelf is hanging right near the dispatch and release desk with towing items like die cast trucks on it etc.. a couple pictures. I was on vacation a couple months ago and my office was burglarized and the only thing the crooks took were a couple phones and cameras . Never found my Glock 10 mm in my tactical shelf, I was impressed by the workmanship\/ It looked great . I wasn't very happy about the delivery time as it took a very long time to get the shelf to me. But once it was here i was very happy with my purchase.. I recommend this shelf for all families with children as it keeps the gun safe and out of reach of most children "out of sight, out of mind" Product is well built and worth every penny it cost me..
I found the shelf to be of high quality with a professional finish. It was easy to follow the installation instructions to set it in place in my Living Room close to the front door. The magnetic lock is easy to open reliably and the interior will support the pistol and magazines or even two pistols. I strongly recommend this shelf for a safe and secure place to hide a self defense weapon in plain sight.
My review would be that you have a well, built furniture quality product that is a great addition to my house, and are beautifully made. I own two of your tactical shelves. The piece of mind from knowing that my firearms are seconds from me acquiring them in a time of need, is something I can't put a rating or value on! Your customer service has been outstanding, and I recommend you guys every chance I get.
5 stars plus if that is an optune.I installed the trap in a short time and set it up, carving out the fit for my pistol, two mags and a flashlight. It went pretty well and holds every thing in place and yes i would recommend this unit to any one needing a fast access to your weapon. I bought the smaller one { 3ft } not having the wall space but it can hold another pistol if I needed it. The trap itself works great with easy access in an isolated area giving me piece of mind. Thanks for making a great product..
I bought three of the Tactical Trap shelves, one as a gift. I give the short one 5 stars and the longer one 4. These all work great, the longer one is a little harder to open.
I love my tactical shelve. The shelve it?s self looks like a normal wall shelve and nothing special stands out about it. The tac works like a dream each and every time. Never fails to open. The shelve is very well built, and really people... I was surprised on how well and expensive it really looks. I store two hands two clips & one tac flashlight. I?m thinking of buy two more for Christmas presents for my sons...
We love our shelf. It was a Christmas present for my boyfriend. It has become the mantle we didn't have! Family pictures and current holiday cards and decorations have a nice place for display now. No one suspects it is anything other than a nicely placed shelf:) Installation and operation were easy to figure out! Great quality, and it arrived almost instantly! Great company with great products!!!
My two cents: I love my "trap" but if I were to change one thing, I'd make it a little less deep. Meaning it's difficult to find a place to hang it, at least for me, in my house. I can't hang it in a hallway without me or my wife worrying about hitting our heads or close to a door for the same reason. I have the perfect place for it where cover from entry points is great but I can't hang it there because it would stick out into a doorway too far. Don't get me wrong, it has its application and I'm not saying that you should stop making this shelf. Maybe make another shelf that is a few inches less in depth. Granted, it won't hold as much but it will have more available applications.
I want to show my shelf to all my visitors, but I don't want them to know about it....what a dilemma. Makes me feel 'safe' when I leave my home. Thanks for making my tactical trap.
The shelves are great quality and arrived damage free. Sizes are appropriate and they function very well. I'm hoping you can incorporate the technology into other forms of storage for different areas of the house. Thank you for creating these great products!
So far I?ve ordered the rifle, flag & pistol shelves. I?ve given them to my daughter, brother, son-in-law & I?ve kept some. The quality is a 5+!!!! My guest have complemented on the beauty & craftsmanship of the shelves. Especially the flag. They had no idea what they held. I?ve showed my friends who are ?hobby enthusiast? & they are impressed. I highly recommend them!!!
I ordered a shelf and it was an easy install. It looks and works great. Perfect to keep protection handy, yet hidden.
I WILL GIVE YOU A RATING OF 4 and the only reason it isn't a 5 is because it is not installed yet. I gave the shelf to my son as a Christmas gift. He and his family live with me. They have an young daughter who is very curious right now and he didnt want to risk her getting into it. We both love the construction, color, function and purpose - just need a little more time. If I lived by myself, the shelf would have been installed the day after Christmas !!
The quality is excellent, and I have it mounted above my bed for ease of access. It is a beautiful shelf, and yes, I would recommend you to others, and I have.
I bought the flag tactical trap for my husband as an anniversary\/birthday present and he loves it. He just hung it yesterday and it looks awesome. We haven't had it that long but so far so good ... so much so we are thinking about getting the shelf as well.
The shelf is superior in design and operation. No thug or thief will not it exists.
I bought two of your shelves, the regular size and the larger shelf, almost twice the size. The smaller one I have by my front door with two full full size handguns each with two extra magazines. The larger one is in my Family room holding two 9mm carbines and extra magazines for them. I ordered both in their bare state so I could finish them to accent where they were to be hung. The workmanship is very nice, and I didn?t have much prep work at all. Hanging them was just as easy and once on the wall, they?re solid and look great. I receive lots of comments and no one suspects they?re holding what they are. I?ve recommended them to several friends of mine that are more serious about home protection, especially once they see how easy, yet secure they are.
I bought 4 shelves , two for me and two for gifts for close friends. Since they are close friends they deserve the security and safety these shelves provide. I figured what better way to say thanks for your friendship and support, than to help them protect themselves and their families.......safely. Well the cool part was they loved them. One friend had his on the wall the next day when I stopped by. Had it stocked w\/ his favorite 9 and mags. And it was beautiful. Great shelf for family pics and you cannot tell it is more than just a high quality picture shelf. I did have a glitch w\/ a broken latch on one shelf and I called the company. It was the fault of the shipper, not the manufacturer. Still they had the replacement part to me in a couple of days, no questions asked. Great Company to work with, great product.
Perfectly built sheif.. Absolutely beautiful.. I have nothing but great things to say about it.. & I Definitely recommended to everyone I know!
The largest shelves hold my AR-10 as well as my Glock 19X and a mag or two.. The smaller shelf holds two pistols and two mags... Or will as soon as I get a couple more magnets... I bought the Natural Burnt Wood Flag as well.. Absolutely love them all... The way they open is perfect... I had been wanting one for a very long time so I bought three.. I would definitely recommend all three of them for any application on any wall... The two shelves are in two different businesses and the FLAG is on my wall at home. Thank you for such high quality and I will surely order again at some point... Congrats on the wing contest...
Hello ,Im pleasantly surprised by the quality of your shelves. I did end up buying two of the shelves. So far the smaller shelve in my bed room is holding my Kimber micro. The activation device is smooth, and steady and cradle my Kimber like a baby. I would definetly recommend these shelves to anyone that looking to conceal there guns, and protect there love one. looking forward to hanging the bigger shelf in my new home.
1. The shelf is well built and of quality materials. 2. Easy to install per provided instructions. 3. The foam inlay will accommodate any size hand gun\/s and you can cut out extra spots for clips as well. 4. The new back-up feature is an added plus if your batteries die and you haven't had a chance to replace them. I would highly recommend this shelf because even though it is not a safe it can keep your gun out of sight and away from small children as they will not know that you have hidden away. And as always be safe and smart when storing your guns.
We love the shelf and where we put it looks so natural as it replaced an existing shelf except now it's a hiding spot for our weapons. We would definitely order again and just might, in fact.
Top quality shelf but should include some hardware for mounting. Good directions though.
I love the shelf, but have not yet decided where to put it. It is too nice for my original plans.
These shelves are awesome! I tried to have some made before I found your company?s videos. Even the best carpenters couldn?t figure out how to make a shelf with a hidden gun storage that didn?t look obvious with exposed hinges. I bought 3 shelves: 2 standard (one for valuables and the other for ?home safety? devices. The 3rd for my birding shotgun. They look beautiful and match my decor. I also got the thick steel door protector. No one will ever kick in my front door! I love and highly recommend your products.
I received your email about our purchase for the Tactical shelves. After receiving the Tactical shelves that my family and I purchase from your company we installed them in our home. After teaching my immediate family how to use them and to properly secure our weapons, it was unanimous that everybody was very impressed with both of the shelves. Also, I have shown these same shelves to several people (that I trust and with whom I work with L.E.), and the response has was overwhelming, requesting contact information and web addresses for your company. About the only thing that I could think of to change the shelves would be purely cosmetics by way of adding additional Woods that you use in your building of the shelves, and for our taste would be a solid Oak, Maple, or Black Walnut (combination of woods). As far as the construction, there doesn't appear to be any thing that I would change at all. The product is functional, very nice looking and is in place with our interior decorations, extremely sturdy (and we'll built) when properly mounted, the locking mechanism and the Hydraulics all work fabulously. The compartment is ample size to hold the weapons and items I have stored away that I selected to be stored and each of the two particular shelves. From a Glock model 27 to my AR-15. The security lock works well and appears to both hold the shelving close tightly and secured. I will continue to recommend your products to family, friends, and co-workers. I am also a department and civilian Firearms instructor. I have been asked if I could take the smaller shelf and a magnet to one of our general meetings so our members can see, touch, try them. My wife and I would both rate the Shelves with 5 stars.
My review on the Shelf I purchased is definitely V the best works great looks great very sturdy and exact size that I need and my shipping address would be 1204 East Walnut Street Washington Indiana 47501 and I would definitely tell everybody which I do that sees it where I get it and how they can get one there self and I have a perfect place for the magnet that you're sending it will come in very handy Dean Gentry is my name as it says in my email thank you very much.!
This is the best product ever it is built with great attention to detail and workmanship. I would recommend the shelf to anyone looking to buy something to conceal firearms for easy access and safe way to keep them secure. I would give it a 10 but the scale only goes to 5
I give it a 4 star because when trying to retrieve the cards to access the flag the tape removed some of the staining on the top of the flag. I do like the whole concept, and would definitely recommend it, in fact, I plan to purchase some for my
My name is Michelle and I love my shelf. I feel much safer with having the shelf by my front door. I would give it 5 stars. I would definitely refer your company to my friends and family. My husband and I both have a permit to carry but also love having a protected spot near the front door.
I purchased my Tactical Trap and installed it right next to my desk. It is a very well made product that I highly recommend it for anyone needing such an item. Installation was not hard once I figured out where the stud was in my wall and centered the shelf. I used butterfly anchors on either side to secure it to the sheet rock. I highly recommend using a level to insure you keep the shelf level when drilling. Customer service was great while I was awaiting shipment. They kept me well informed throughout the build process.
Love the shelf, use it for stuff in bedroom and keep fire,arm away from kids. I was a NYPD Detective and recommend this to others.
My shelf arrived a few weeks ago, but I had to finish moving in to install it. Did that today. First the quality was excellent. Hardware and lock are strong and durable. I used four 2 1\/2 wood screws with two in studs (short wall near a corner) and it is very stable. My wife is pleased with the appearance and is looking for things to put on the shelf. My only problem was that the lock didn't close easily, but Bree in Customer Support sent a link that was spot on. Easy fix and my Sig 226 is snug and ready if needed. Great product that I have and will continue to recommend to others.
Guys, it's just ok. Didn't work at first and you had to send me new parts. Still have to put my two guns in it but I'm just sort meh with it.
Fine Quality Craftsmanship, performs well. Very discreet as it appears to be a normal home shelf. Have recommended it to many friends.
My shelf works great although I do have to press up on the bottom while activating the magnet release or it won?t open. To me it provides another safety step only I know about My flag trap is perfect. My only desire is that it would open automatically upon release of the magnet. It looks like a nice piece of Americana art.
Let me start by saying I love the shelves. I have one and I purchased one for my son. As for a rating I would say 4.5. I see 2 flaws. Due to my personal to my handicaps and my experience with wood I would like to see addressed. One; If I remember correctly the mounting instructions said use mollies. My attempt to drill aligned me with a wall stud. Personally if I can put a screw into a stud I would rather that than a molly. Even if the holes are not evenly spaced I would still try to get at least one screw into a stud. In the situation that somebody does hit the stud, you do not advise what type of screw to use. With mt wood experience I went to a 2 inch cabinet screw or I could have used a Pan Head screw. Someone with less experience may use a Sheet Rock or a Flat Head screw witch would cause the mounting board to split or crack. This possibly could have rendered the shelf unsturdy or worse, unusable. Two: Design a way of replacing the batteries without having to open the unit or design a way to open the unit if the batteries go dead without having to do damage to the shelf attempting to open it. I understand there is a warning that the batteries are weak, but I go away for extended periods of time in which that warning would not be heard. A personal disadvantage I have also is Tinnitus. Even if I am there I will not hear the warning signal. I have taken precautions and mark my calendar to remind me to change the batteries. I know I have special handicaps to cater to but some sort of secondary way to open the shelf wouldn't be a bad idea. Thanks for listening and thanks for asking for input.
I bought 2 shelves, a 52R and a 35S not knowing what to expect as far as quality goes. They were a little on the pricey side, but as a business owner I understand the cost in R&D & materials. The company states its products are made in the USA, so the higher price was worth it to me knowing it was built in the US while supporting our own workers. When you have a niche product that people want, they will buy it. The build quality is excellent and these traps meet my expectations. Great design, great product and great customer service. Be advised, these take time to build. I'm use to getting everything off the ol' interwebs in 2 days. However, these are made to order, custom built and mine took about 3-4 weeks. Be patient, they are worth it.
I definitely recommend the tactical shelf. It works great and conceals 2 of my pistols completely. It also looks beautiful as just the shelf.
I have purchased two tac-trap shelves. By far some of the coolest shelves I have seen. I give them 5 star on the quality and design. I have many friends that all have side arms sitting in the drawers. I showed them mine,(only a select few that I can trust) and a few of my buddies actually bought them as well. I can?t say all the great things I need to say, people must see them to really appreciate them. Great shelves guys keep up the good work. As my fire arm collection grows, I?ll be purchasing more shelves.
well put togather got one for my son he also likes his.
The shelf is the right size for my application. It looks very nice, and it holds a full-size defensive handgun and extra magazine, all completely hidden from view. I would recommend this shelf to others.
The tactical shelf is great! Blends in nicely with my decor, and is a great addition to my home security.
The tactical shelf is an excellent product. It keeps my weapons readily available, yet out of sight from the grandkids. Excellent product, easy to install, and looks great.
Build quality is excellent, looks great on the wall, works very well i.e. opening mechanism. Would and have recommended the shelf to friends as it is a great product and a good value.
I have enjoyed my Tactical Shelf. I have located it inside our front door for easy access if a situation for access to a gun should ever arise. The shipping was fast and the quality of the woodworking was outstanding. It would be a good looking quality product for almost any interior. I have the knowledge if the need ever arises, help is close at hand.
I give my shelf 4.5 stars and not only do I highly recommend it, I intend to get more in the future! Hiding securely in plain sight is the way to go!
I purchased two shelves, one for myself and the second for a fellow Officer. We both have it strategically mounted in our respective homes. As 30 year veterans of Law Enforcement and approaching retirement, this was the ideal and most practical gift for him (and to myself). I only wish this was available earlier on in our careers. This product definitely warrants the highest rating possible and I have recommended it to others, not only Law Enforcement but to anyone that may keep a firearm in their home or place of business.
I bought the big and small shelves. A little difficult hanging the really big one, kind of awkward. Bought both without stain. Had a hard time matching a color for birch that went with our other wood in the house, but none of the prefinished ones were close either. Ended up mixing two colors. Other than that, we are very satisfied with our shelves.
They receive a 5 from me .excellent products
Shelf is good quality and perfect size, I put it next to couch overall great experience I would highly recommend.
Great customer service and a beautiful product. You were great about exchanging my shelf for a size that worked better for me, and for replacing a light that didn't work. The shelf looks great in my new home. I haven't cut out the foam for my guns because I'm waiting to get a new pistol. I did find it a little tricky to find a trinket to use to disguise my credit card sized opening magnet, but I took on the challenge and found something cool. Your photos\/videos show a much smaller object, so I'm assuming that the magnets got larger since you did those photos. Otherwise, all is good!
I love the shelf and have it mounted in an easy to reach area in my front room. No one knows what is in it, unless I tell them. I would rate it five stars in construction, and in finish. Love the lock system and the ease of opening along with the lights inside. It was easy to install, and looks great
I like the shelf very much, it is not really noticeable and it is working very well. I did have to put a new battery in it immediately as the one that came with it wasn?t up to snuff. After that it has worked just fine. I have a Sig elite 45 and a full clip besides installed in it and I test it regularly. I also installed the motion sensor light that arrived a little later and it works fine also. I give it 5 stars.
High quality product. Great price. Flawless functioning and easy set up. Highly recommend the tactical trap for anyone who feels they need to have a weapon at the Erdy, but stored securely and not obviously.
very nice shelf, well built, looks great
I give Tactical Traps 5 stars. I purchased a patriot shelf and it was everything they promised and more. The shelf it's self is made of quality wood and the craftsmanship is fantastic. I am in the process of moving to another state at the end of March and once settled I plan on ordering other products from Tactical Traps.
Like to get a 2nd one for the office,,. Soon I have shown it to many friends.. they all want one. its very nice. Made well.. Definitely recommend to ALL who enjoy their weapons. Be well.
Love the Shelf. Perfect size, fast delivery. I upgraded to hardwood and love it!! Highly recommend! Have referred friends!
I was so impressed with the Tactical trap that I received. It is exceptionally crafted. I've told a few of my friends about it, two of them order their own tactical traps. It is a highly recommended product from me. I want to order the AR trap. Also their customer service rocks!
Positives: I like the first one so much I bought a second one. Seems to color match well with the furniture. Appears discreet and well constructed. Recommended to my friends. All in all a fantastic product. Highly recommended. Negatives: The foam that comes with it seems to be a little bit thin could be thicker would hold weapons a lot better. Locking mechanism seems to stick sometimes even after adjusting it. Have more colors available.
The shelf is attractive, stylish and sturdy. Even the wife is happy with it. In a three story house it gives me peace of mind to know my beretta .40 is 3 seconds away and the grandkids have no idea its there.
I received my tactical shelf from my wife as a Christmas gift. It is the first tactical concealment device I have owned. I did run into an issue while installing it. I experienced difficulty mounting the shelf as the studs in the wall weren't exactly 16" on center. Making the shelf a couple of inches longer would help with that issue. The shelf is extremely well made and the finish is flawless. The shelf was initially a bit sluggish opening, however, it has loosened up and now opens perfectly. I've shown the shelf to several friends and family and they plan to order one also.
I ordered a tactical trap when I was remodeling, I was very excited to receive it!! I mounted it with ease and was very pleased, I had went on vacation and when I got back the trap would not open!! I contacted support and they were very responsive and guided me through my ordeal!! I am very happy now! The trap not only matches my decor but is so a part of the remodel that I could not ask for a better match! So with that being said I would highly recommend it to anybody for any room, thanks TT.
Not only does it give me quick access to my weapons , keeps them hidden and secure, it looks great !!!
I was reluctant at first, thinking it to be more a novelty item. The shelf I have is a long shelf for 1 long gun (AR 15 maybe) or 2 pistols plus ammo. When it arrived I was very satisfied. It's high quality manufactured and wonderful finish. It would look good in any home for any reason. I keep it in my office and it matches my desk and shelves perfectly. practical as well as tactical usage. I'd recommend the product to anyone that wants quick access but secure storage and a classy shelf.
My shelf is 35.5 inch's wide, dark mahogany color. I do regret not buying one a little bigger, maybe one day I will buy a larger one! When I received the shelf I had to do a little adjusting on the hinge. Once adjusted everything is wonderful. We love the look and quality. Everyone I show it to ask where it came from and I send a link to your web site! So I do recommend you to all my friends!
I love my shelf. The quality of the materials and finish is top notch! Customer service was prompt, professional and friendly. I would highly suggest them to everyone.
Everyone that I have shown the shelf to which are very close friends and relatives just love it.
I ordered both the Freedom 52R and the Patriot. The finish on these shelves is phenomenal, the workmanship is very impressive, and space within provides an abundance of "hide-in-plain-sight" capability. I have plenty of protection for my family at the ready! I highly recommend these "home decorations" and I will definitely order a couple more in the near future. - Thank you!
I ordered a Tactical Trap for myself and my best friend. Many people have walked by and never know there is a firearm inside. This is a very cool concealed device. thanks for making it.
I purchased my first shelf for my two pistols and found the installation simple. The shelf is well made and looks great. Everyone that has seen it has been impressed with the quality and the method of opening it. Oh and I also purchased two more shelves- one for each daughter. The needed the longer versions for their rifles. All of us couldn't be happier with our purchase. I plan on buying one more shelf for myself as soon as we move into our new home.
I already had one Tactical Trap shelf installed at home, and was considering a "trap" for another room, and didn't want it to appear that there were decorative shelves placed randomly around the house. Enter the Tactical Trap Flag. It is beautiful! Looks like a hand made art project, and belongs just about anywhere. Easy to mount, and plenty of room for a second firearm or spare magazines. The included light and magnet (to hold the steel frame of the firearm flat against the back of the trap) complete the package. Will definitely purchase again!
Your product is great, good craftsmanship, mounts easy.
The shelf is what I needed exactly. I use it as a bed side shelf and I keep two 9mm in it. It works even better that I thought it would. I would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you.
I found the tactical trap shelf I purchased to be everything I hoped for! The craftsmanship was excellent and it worked as promised and was large enough for my weapons and a little room left over to stash a few other items. I didn't like the fact that the foam for the inside was shipped separately as it meant I had to wait a while to be able to use my shelf. Bottom line is would I recommend this shelf to friends and strangers alike and the answer is yes, wholeheartedly, it works as advertised and is American made!, enough said.
My 2 shelves that I got from these guys are awesome . haven't had a chance to really use them , and i hope i dont , but its nice to know there right there..And the family members that know think there a great idea
