Thanks guys! How do yall think i should lock it? I was going to just use hasp, but all you have to do to get by those are undo a couple screws and your in. It would be are for someone to get into this quickly as everything on the outside is bolted in from the inside. (as well as the hinges)

You could use nuts and bolts. Most people don't have a socket set on hand to undo something like that.
I have been thinking about building one in my attic. I stash all of my guns randomly around the house so if it were to ever get broken into, people wouldn't be able to easily see them. I have some underneath a chest of drawers, one underneath my nightstand, and a couple of long guns under the insulation in my attic. I lost the rest in a tragic push-poll accident in the basin last week.
I was gonna go the route of building a case in between the studs in the attic to look like it was some type of structure for the house

Nice build.
I assume you are not thinking this will replace the security of a good safe, correct? Wood is nothing to a thief.

Carriage bolts is an option... if a crook had the time to get those out, he would have the time to destroy the whole box.
Nice looking job... Now you have me making plans in my head
