Description

The 1242 Top Locking Concealment Shelf has a foam-lined secret compartment that works as a gun storage with 12″D x 42″W.

Installation is as easy as hanging any common shelf (see video). To access the secret compartment, simply disengage the hidden locks with the supplied keys at the (2) locations on the shelf top. The bottom half of the shelf is lowers smoothly with the assistance of a pneumatic strut.

Optional L.E.D. lights illuminate using a motion sensor. https://tacticalwalls.com/product/led-light/

To secure additional firearms to the bottom side of the locking cabinet (see photo) checkout our Hide-a-mag.  https://tacticalwalls.com/product/hide-a-mags/ 

You can easily customize the medium density polyurethane foam insert to fit your needs. Simply cut the required shapes out of the foam, peel the self-adhesive backing, and attach it to the compartment bottom. The concealment shelf foam securely holds everything in place.

We manufacture the 1242 Top Locking Hidden Gun Shelf in the United States, right here in our Shenandoah, Virginia, facility using furniture grade 9-ply birch plywood as well as other solid hardwoods.  The products we make contain absolutely NO fiberboard, OSB or other cheap wood.

    Right out of the box, the quality and finish of the product is top notch. This is not just a functional fixture but it’s elegant and fits perfectly the rest of my decor.

    I got the rope trim and I’d recommend it, the added details distract the eyes and really make it impossible to know what it can do. The only note might be if you get directly under it and can shine a light up, you could see the hinges but your face basically has to be flush with wall to notice the barely 2mm area. If anyone gets under the shelf and then presses their face up against the wall like that, the gig would be up anyway, so it’s not like it’s something anyone would notice, even standing 1 foot from the shelf.

    Went up quick and easy. I free floated mine (no brackets) which isn’t recommended but it’s been 5 months and not a problem. I only put light weight objects on top just in case though.

    Shelf is awesome!!! The only hiccup I had was the office building I installed it in uses steel studs, this means an additional run to the hardware store (supplying steel stud fasteners would be very helpful! Otherwise, WINNER WINNER, CHICKEN DINNER!!!

    I purchased this shelf shortly after they were released (so is has the magnet opening devices). In my old house I had used it as an electronics shelf located under my TV pushing the limits (& most likely even exceeding) of the 20lb top load. The shelf has worked exceptionally well for me, and since I have moved become a shelf that holds pictures, knick-knacks, and other keep sakes.

    The magnets to open the shelf I keep hidden behind a picture attached to the bookend uprights. The magnetic placement to open the shelf takes some getting used to. However, I have treated them just like a holster draw, the more I practiced it, the more second nature it has become. So that if I have to get into the shelf in the unfortunate situation of a home invasion, I can with no problem.

    The craftsmanship is exceptional, and for the select few that I revealed what the shelf’s true purpose is they have had nothing but high praises to give. I shelf currently holds my AR-15, one loaded 30 round mag, my 1911, two loaded mags for it, and my flashlight.

    Great Clandestine Staging Option. I have two, one magnet and one RFID. Both set up with an AR and some other items.

    Now I know where Erik Ludwig keeps the magnets to open his shelf! Better hide those again! In all seriousness, great product. Well made and looks like well made furniture also. I recommend it to anyone seeking an alternative way to store their firearms that is discreet and secure.

    Fantastic, high a quality product. Totally worth the wait, and I’ll happily support ANY company that takes pride in their workmanship here in this country. Absolutely first class people too. I’ll be buying more Tactical Walls products in the future. Can’t recommend them enough.
