Roe Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I guess this is more of an "idea" thread, so take whatever you want from it and please share your own ideas. My realoading room has been finished for some time, it works well and almost everything was scrap materials or discarded/ leftovers from the local building stores. It cost me time planning, building and painting and most money went into the door and the lock. For me, reloading is an economical necessity and I have very limited time for it. Basically my reloading gear must be left "at the ready" with a Post-It telling me in plain text what the next required step is. I might have 30 minutes one evening or I might have 2 hrs a morning, and due family life I simply cannot make reloading a priority. With kids in the house, I only feel comfortable leaving the gear out if it's in a truly access controlled location. Hence this lock, pure genius: Small space and work standing up prompted this extremely sturdy, but simple reloading bench for working standing up. Built from scrap materials with basic tools. Stainless steel top £25 from the local tinsmith keeps it clean. Just enough room to stand/ lie down. Dumping area just inside the door, shelf top doubles as workspace and most thing are placed where I can see them properly/ get them easily. This video shows the general outline. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FoH5Ta_2Ro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will0 Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 Here is my reloading setup. This was its early stages, since changed to an automatic powder dispenser. I don't have anywhere permanent to set up, and it needed to pack away tidily, with a couple of die sets the box is pretty much full. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrCetrizine Posted January 24, 2015 Report Share Posted January 24, 2015 I feel quite privileged now to have an entire room for my guns and their food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20series Posted January 29, 2015 Report Share Posted January 29, 2015 Who makes that lock in the first picture? Thats exactly what I've been looking for. Rich I found this, not cheap but a good idea, and less unsightly than the standard key pad lock jobs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Union-Digi-Code-Lock-Entrance-Door-Handle-Digital-Combination-Locking-Handle/320832227788?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20140107083358%26meid%3D1019faf4f0d1466095e887e090c7915a%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D3%26sd%3D320832230746 Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted January 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2015 It is called TrioVing Codehandle door 8810 and it was around USD 300. I am sure there is many variations to this product type. It is really easy to use, but this version is indoor access control only - no anti-burglar. Without the code the handle simply doesn't engage the door. Yale doorman and similar is more secure (front door use), but the price pops up I see it is marketed under Lockwood name elsewhere https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYzcDCp1Dpc Or you can get the very same lock under Assa Abloy name for 1/2 price here http://www.duelsecurityandhardware.c...02-code-handle Hmmm, and with that google-fu lead I see that Home Depot have electronic lock solutions down towards $70 that will do the same job... http://www.homedepot.com/b/Tools-Har...e/N-5yc1vZc2bd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
