Project Inspired By:
A picture "The Hidden Wall Safe Socket" walyou.com/hidden-wall-safe-so...
Project History & More Info:
I saw a picture of the hidden wall safe on www.lifehacker.com and found it was a product being sold for about $8.00 from ThinkGeek.com (www.thinkgeek.com/product/855d....
Rather than order one, it seemed feasible to make one with just a couple of materials from the hardware store. Not to mention, much cheaper.
There are so many variations that could be made to this idea. I demonstrated 4 that I came up with, and perhaps the best one was the fact that you could just use the box behind your cable. If you use one of those, it's completely free, and you don't have to cut any new holes in your walls.
I put some time into making a parts list for the different variations from Home Depot showing store SKU# and prices. Just for being a fan, you can download the list for free at www.dropbox.com/sh/bj4xfnwu5h...
This is an awesome and practical idea. Even if everyone knew about the secret wall safe, there are so many electrical outlets in the house already it would be completely impractical for a thief to open every one trying to find anything valuable. Not to mention dangerous.
Like any security measure, this idea won't be infallible, but simply is one more idea, and one more line of defense to help protect your stuff.

"Quick Bob i hear a thief! Get the emergency ammo!'
"Ok joe!"
"Joe i can't find the right screwdrive-"
*bang*
"Joe?"
all the house intelligence is making me nose bleed
I was scared at the time of the wall exposed to heat, it will make a sound "bang" also
Oh no!!!! You didn't use the super glue trick. Oh well, next time. Oh, maybe not.
"A wild 6 year old appeared!"
"Got away safely."
And you copied this joke.

I did this a few times. It really works! I now have about 8,000 outlets in my house.
I did this and when the burglars came for my stamps they couldn't find them. They got violent so I opened it up and got my 3 bullets out. BANG BANG BANG. I don't have a gun so it was just me throwing the bullets at them and yelling bang.
At lest you saved the stamps
Chris Franklin that comment made my day. Thank you good sir.
XD are the stamps ok?
LOL!!!
Chris Franklin Thanks for making me laugh
Thanks this really helped I'm a burglar and now I always check electrical outlits thanks for the help.
OMG dude really?

hopefully no one wants to use a TV in my room I cut the cable wire so I could have more room and this house is rented
***** oh come on, no one can be that braindead
Comments be like:
50% I CAN HIDE MY WEED NOW!
50% WHAT COUNTRY HAS PAPER WALLS?!?!
+Radioactiv Pi Paper walls? I think that's in Japan. Here in Canada and I'm pretty certain also in the United States we cover our walls with something called dry wall it's semi rigid but quite easy to cut through.
+Radioactiv Pi A lot of places use this crap. Most new buildings too.
+siggitiggi um dry walls are grind up rock with wood and some paper
this is awesome
Almost all places use it, called drywall or sheetrock, since plaster & lath construction basically went extinct over 70 years ago. It's damned hard to even find someone who can do plaster, or repair it. 30 years ago I found one guy to repair some large holes in plaster walls of a building I bought, and he charged almost a hundred bucks an hour. So I bought a book and learned how to do it instead. Any brain-dead moron can hang & finish drywall, but doing plaster is a real art form -- now pretty much a lost art.
but now 7 million other people know about this safe
do you really think burglars would check your outlet???
They may.
but who would check ALL the outlets?
+Jake52902 i dont think a robber would spend his time breaking open power outlets with an item that can make a loud noise triggering the neighbors and/or getting caught
Sacrifices must be made.
Thnx grant now i can hide my weed and illegal memes
Ur getting a ticket sir, those memes aren't dank enough.

I would like to buy your weed
Who thought from the thumbnail the the safe was the plant
Me
meh

FeaR Ripo me
Person 1: This outlet isn't charging my phone
Person 2: It has never worked
Person 1: Maybe I can fix it
Person 2: NOOOOOOO
but person 2 should of hid that outlet though
person 2 is batman
Damn it! Now everyone knows where I hide my electricity!
“Why doesn’t this outlet plate work”
(Opens plate)
“Oh sh*t!”
Uh oh
uhh uhh crap
Ahahahaha
Put some wires to the outlet plate and then connect it. but it will take a lot of work. so just use solar energy instead.
Robber wants to charge his phone, plugs it in," why isnt this charging my phone?" *unscrews plate* oh... Thats why
For some reason i thought it was in the plant
Same
me too
That would be too obvious
M se lol same
Thank you Grant Thompson! Now everybody knows my secret! I have to find a new secret safe, hope you won't tell it this time :-P

There are to many wall outlets to check in the time they want to spend in a house.
To all the idiots who watch this film and say that burglars are going to find your stash, I ask you this question. Do you really think a burglar is going to bring his tool kit with and screwdriver to open up wall sockets to see what is behind them? I was a cop in a former life and the burglar wants to get in and out as quickly as possible. They are going to steal easily seen things like (TV's, computers, phones, jewelry, cash, or other valuables). They are not going to take apart your outlets to look behind them. If they do they run the risk of getting caught. A better plan of action would be to buy a safe and put random heavy crap in it like lead weights or other stuff. They aren't going to have the time to break open the safe in your pad and will end up taking it with them to crack it open and be hoodwinked. Now you have some angry burglars who might seek revenge, but you didn't lose anything. In the meantime you could make sure you install security cameras, better locks, a security system and buy some weapons for when they come back to seek revenge.
a burguler would bring his tool kit if he watched this
good point but a smart EXPERIENCED burglar would know how to look in plain sight, and if the burglar has time and patients.
FruityNachos How many patients?
+Expatriate American 😂😂😂
+kip Marcel Of course not. What's he going to do, unscrew every single outlet and wall plate in your house?
When I was younger and I watched this I just took off the wall of an out let and it was active and every time I put and took stuff out I got shocked
Yikes you ok?
Well I am posting this comment so I think so lol
+Dominik Moreno I was going to charge my computer while watching this a few years back, and when I did I got shocked too.
We don't have cardboard walls in the Europe, so it probably can not be done using knife... :D
What do you guys use, I thought most developed countries used drywall.
+Hugh Grotkowski Developed HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAGAHGH
+Hugh Grotkowski you're funny
There are a lot of outdated buildings in Europe that still have plaster or other inferior materials. Most houses in the US are newer or have been remodeled with drywall. European people think that 50 coats of paint is fine.
As a European, drywall feels cheap, unreliable, prone to accidental breakage, and sold as the "status quo" while it's actually a way for building contractors to make a huge markup on a cheap constructor material. Give me bricks or GTFO.
Very creative Grant! Awesome idea!

I like this style of video better than most of your newer videos
"We're going to make a super secret safe that only you know about." That now everyone knows of because you posted a video about it and now 7,299,486 people knows.
You had one job
????
+Aylin Flores I get it :-)
***** XD
lol ,, what do you consider a criminal , most rich people became rich from the crimes they have committed , they steal from the poor , from people with addictions , ect ect ect ,,
What if you don't live in America.. in a concrete house..
then get a plasma torch and a private jet
Then you don't have valuables to begin with.
TheNajSD they have more actually.. a concrete house that is really small cost as much as a mansion made of wood
i am epicness I suppose you forgot to measure in average take-home pay by accident. Cost is relative.
It's funny. Where I live everyone makes concrete houses, whereas Americans are whining about small winds tearing their houses apart.
only in america- no stone walls.
This is such an amazing idea!
Thanks for this video I needed it
This is a great way to store ricin if you ever need to save some for a sticky situation.

+NowhereManForever lol it took a minute after reading this
now I now we're to hide my ilectronics I only had my phone for one week!
Now I'll be sure to check behind outlets whenever I rob someone :P
This is the first video I have watched of this guy, and I like this guy 👍😜
Now everyone's going to be hiding there weed in there walls 😆
Simon Danger too late!
*their
Same here. We haven't had a cable or TV connection for over 7 years. Maybe a good place to stash some of your backup memory cards?
Great idea! You can also hot glue some child-outlet-protectors (with the prongs cut off) onto a blank cover. It looks like a regular cover that is just child-proofed. I also recommend a steel plate cover (painted to match) for durability.
yes you may have toled us how to make this but you also toled the robers so well done everyone that has done this!
Grant Thompson, I *_love_* this one!
Am I the only one that expected him to hide it under the plant soil?
im 11 and dont want to ruin my house so i will just do this when im like 20 or somethin. Same with A LOT of ur AWESOME projects
same
same
Same
Lol the three people who commented on this said the EXACT same thing LOL
gage lowry same
a really good one is an old heating vent
Step one: take off vent cover.
Step two: cut out a piece of cardboard or plastic (your choice what material) the diameter of the vent.
Step three: hot glue(if you have to you can use duck-tape but secure it well) the cardboard in place however deep you want the containment area to be.
Step four: fill with valuables and return vent cover.
i like this one cause in most cases you can just slip whatever your putting into the hidden area through the slot in the vent and never have to open it
this makes it way more discrete to load or hide something in a hurry
if you want a better diagram leave your name as a reply il reply you one
one thats not i use
like its been unhooked but the vent is still there ya know what i mean
+ian wallace IlluminardyGaming please!!!
whut are you reffering to when you say please
ian wallace nvm
Pretty cool, and a clever way to try and hide things.
In my country, if you try to dig a wall with a knife, your knife most probably will bend or break.
You know, here we have real walls made of bricks.
PS: And yeah, I mean interior walls, not supporting or external walls.
I live in the Netherlands and I have a concrete inner wall and a brick outer wall and at some places a layer of something like cement over the outer layer.
In your country? You own a country?
+Skwisgaar Skwigelf Same
Here in the Philippines,we have hollow block walls that are 4-9 inches thick and most people don't have tools.
+Skwisgaar Skwigelf Same here :)
great... now theifs watching will know...congrats!
*thieves
That just JUSTIFIED me calling you a peanut head.
Sarah Shaw ummmm.... i actually dare you now xD
great! :D
WHAAAA....??? thats not gonna happen.... thats a bit too far....and michelles gonna like kill me... also i dont think u wanna get suspended....
CHALLENAGE DECLINED
omg what an awesome idea!!! im doin this!!
Thanks for the tip...when I'm breaking into houses in the future I will make sure a I bring a claw hammer with me so I can rip out the plug sockets.thanks again great help.
Are people from around the world arguing about....walls?
Yes...Yes they are.
Trenton Perkins "I can facepalm harder than you!" xD
Oh yea great idea. Now any criminals watching this know exactly what to look for. ;) A+ my friend.
With all the outlets in houses now there gonna have to do allot of un-screwing lol
Jostrich
lol. so true
lol
Sam Does Gaming plot twist its all secretly in my safe and i let them unscrew all my walls giving the police time to get there
Using that case and cover and incorporating some lead lights and a power source theoretically you could produce a unique Corner lighting system
Rest in Peace, legend
Emergency Ammunition O.O WTF?! Is this what America really keeps in a safe?
Do you not?
Derek Faudree Instead of having a gunfight with a random bloke I call the police who arrive and arrest the bloke
OfficialProppaGaming
Instead of shooting the "bloke", you call the police who call the coroner to retrieve and perform an autopsy on your carcass, while the "bloke" carries on about his business, perhaps never being caught.
OfficialProppaGaming Tell me more about how criminals will allow you to just call the police and wait patiently for you to get off the phone. I'm sorry, but if some guy breaks into my house and threatens my family just because he wants my TV, I'd rather shoot the douchebag so my family and I can live another day. Actually, I'm not sorry.
And also, the police probably won't arrive for about 10+ minutes unless you live right by a station. That's a lot of time for your ass to get shot.
That's where I hide the ricin.
Haaha i was thinking about that!
Emergency ammunition 😂. Don’t mind me Mr. Robber, please don’t shoot, I’m just opening my outlet cover real quick
The first video i watched of his, rip in pepperonis my dude
I love how you explain things! So easy to follow!
Am I the only one here not living in a house made of plaster? Cutting a hole like that in my wall would be worse than escaping alcatraz through walls.
Lol, same here. I have 30 centimeters of concrete thickness...
lol
I can't even hammer a nail through my wall to hang a picture frame. Much less drill a hole in it.
jlly16 Martin Křivánek
Which is why American homes are built smarter... European architecture is pretty counterproductive when it comes to the futuristic stuff we have now. You need wall outlets and to hang stuff on walls. Concrete walls is just stupid. We have our support inside the walls and then covered with sheetrock/drywall so we can easily paint, repair, or alter our walls while keeping the same structural integrity.
pod trash Lol, we have dry wall on the concrete.
I love this intro!!!
That is so smart!
now my parents wont find my weed lol
*parents see video*
*weed stolen*
chilepizza16 You made me laugh a lot
"Emergency amunition" hahahahahahaha
You can never be too prepared for a zombie attack.
This is great thanks
Wow great grant Thompson you just showed everyone where you will keep your (important things) So a
Robber could just watch your video to know where you keep your (important / expensive items)
Why put in a fake non-working outlet when you can hide your nice metal coins behind a real outlet?
Watch as I demonstrate storing stuff behind this live outle- AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
lel you made my day xD
cause ur fat and im batman
Is it really safe if its all over facebook and u tube?
Look at it this way, the fire safe takes time to locate and time to pick it up and run out of the house. The possible thief instead now has to look for your outlets, unscrew them and hope they find something that is worth something. Not to mention there are tons of outlets in every house. So as to safe, its better than most options under 5 bucks.
I did this also. Having to unscrew the panel makes it so much faster than just having the bullets in the gun already. Its a real time saver
Lol
That's smart now we know where your stash is!
Now I'm stopping wondering why every year in America hurricane crush houses.
Ivan Trupinic u wot m8?
TheRMSway the walls are made from stuffs that u can cut with kitchen knife, thats why
Drywall is pretty cheap and standard in the U.S.. Personally i dont mind a larger house from drywall and wood framing then a complete brick house that is smaller.
Ivan Trupinic speech 100
Wtf are American walls made of why can you cut through it with a knife?!
I'm more concerned about what kind of knife he used... O_o
What he cut was just for show, the real "wall" is on the inside of that. Most walls are like that I think.
North america homes are all made out of paper clips, some chewing gums and carton boards, thats why whenever there is a little wind whole towns get shaved off.
certified30 no. just no.
Mine is made of concrete. Busting holes through the walls would mean having to become a stonemason in order to make one just for an outlet.
Hi grant. I might want to do this project but I have a question. When you put an outlet on the wall does that mean you have to like wire it up and get wires in the wall for it to work?
Dude I love this guy
Didn't work, parents still found my weed.
In trouble, sorry
+Manuel Sosa its a good thing you said it on the internet! :)
+Manuel Sosa Smell proof bag bruh.
lol
wait, wait,wait
you guys live in cardboard houses? O.o
Exactly what I thought. If I would try this at home I only wold get a broken knife and a damaged wallpaper.
***** And that is exactly why the house I have lived in since I was born had been through 1 hurricane many huge storms and an earthquake and also 5 feet of snow collectively in 3 months and is diffinitely standing
*****
Bullshit, the places I've lived in stood strong through gale force winds, and I only knew it was windy by looking outside.
***** Don't be fooled by the materials being cheaper. Houses in the U.S. are far more practical in large scale construction than other heavier and more expensive materials. Plus construction is tightly regulated with stringent rules in any modern built home/building.
***** Most houses in the US are build with a good wooden frame. Drywall, what Zorgfleeter calls "cardboard" is put over the wooden frame and also helps with insulation. There are states in the US that regularly undergo storms and hurricanes and the houses are fine.
this trick is amazing.
this was his first video that i saw and now im addicted
Dude you are a gun owner too awesome lol!!!!! :D
I know right! GUNS ARE AWESOME!!! Especially when you live in America! >:D
EPICPICKL ...
It's actually a pretty cool and smart idea. It just got me thinking though....
Emergency bullets? So a guy's breaking into my house i'm out of bullets. What do I do! Oh wait I got some spares. Just let me silently move this couch here *ssssccccrrrreeeeeccchhhh* now I need to get a screwdriver *shuffle thru drawers* Ok now we got it. Lid's off just grab these out of here. I think I'll be safe now and -turn around- oh hello. Just looking for---uhh...nothing. No hard feelings dude? *BANG*
To bad they weren't kept like on a shelf or something :(
Pinkie Pie Jr. u would now use the secret shelf
Hello any advise what would be an alternative for storing my firearm the same way?
awsome idea
What if my robber watches this video??😱😱😱😱
Moo Moo Domanico true
Moo Moo Domanico Put a lot of fake outlets in your house that work.
Someone out there has 50 plug sockets in their living room now xD
Come to think of it I have a great place for one in my room and the place I want to put their is a blank wall outlet. It's AWESOME
I love watching these vids even tho I never actually do them
I have been using this trick for 40 years.
Kent L JESSE'S CRISS
Kent L how
sooooo your 40 years old or over
So has my dad. he build one as a teenager to hide things from his parents and siblings.
Mitch Burns MY DAD DIDNT DO THIS
"only you know about this safe" yes, you and six and half of million peoples...
No. Only you.
burgulars wouldn't have time to find which one you modified as a safe. Its better than a regular safe, theyll take it with them to break it open.
exactly what i was thinking.
+The Great Gatsby-peoples, that is incorrect grammer
+The Great Gatsby oh yeah
Cool project
I liked this project
man, i am from romania and here every house has the walls about 60 centimeters thick. they are mad eof steel, bricks and concrete. they do not have holes in them life in the us do. and i can't cut them. i really need to know how can i do it because i want to hide some lists of passwords from my family. they found it about 5 times and i have no more place i can think of hiding it. if they'll find it one more time i'll get crazy! i don't wanna change all of my passwords again!
Try doing this in a German House.
I better get my Chisel ready for THAT project.
In Germany arent paper walls. I now it...
+FallenPatta any European house really, my walls are 50cm thick "clinker" bricks. I guess if you really want to do it though, you do have plenty of space if you chisel enough xD
Tank Penguin grants walls are drywall
I love this! SO COOL!!! :)
I once used a one pound coffee can behind the clock in my VW. It fit perfectly.
