Panic room installer · Kansas City.

The room is a contractor’s job. Everything that makes it useful is ours. IntegrateIT, based in Overland Park, Kansas, designs and installs the electronics of panic rooms across the Kansas City metro: independent emergency communications to 911 and private security, biometric access control, surveillance with off-site recording, an independent network, climate and concealed AV. We coordinate with your architect and the room-build contractor. Projects under NDA are normal. Phone: (913) 804-7575.

The integration layer (what we own)

  • Concealed entry. When the brief calls for a room that reads as a wall, we coordinate a hidden door built into cabinetry, shelving, or paneling, with flush design-matched finishes and motorized RFID, keypad, biometric, or mobile access. The room stays invisible until it is needed.
  • Backup power and hardened storage. Battery or generator backup so communications, surveillance and access keep running through an outage, plus optional hardened storage for documents, valuables or firearms.
  • Independent duress communications. Hardwired POTS with cellular backup, and satellite where the brief calls for it. Connects to 911 dispatch and to the private security service of the owner’s choice, on a path independent of the main home network, so it keeps working if the rest of the house is compromised.
  • Biometric access control. Multi-factor: biometric, keypad and key fob. Per-resident permissions. Audit log.
  • Independent surveillance and off-site recording. Cameras and recorder on a network segment that survives main-network loss, with recording mirrored off-site to a cloud or a secondary location of the owner’s choice.
  • Climate and ventilation control. Independent HVAC zone for the room (so external HVAC compromise can’t introduce contaminants).
  • Concealed AV for comfort during extended occupancy. The room is not a closet — extended occupancy means TV, audio, lighting that’s actually pleasant.

Common questions

How much does a panic room cost in Kansas City?

It depends on the room’s size and protection rating, the communications and surveillance inside it, and how access and climate are handled. We discuss scope in person, under NDA if you prefer, and give a fixed price after a site walk — not a range by email.

Is a panic room more about the room or the technology?

Both — and the technology side is the part that is easiest to get wrong. The room build (ballistic walls, steel door, ventilation) is a specialty contractor scope. The integration side — a duress button that reaches 911 and private security, biometric access control, independent surveillance with off-site recording, an independent network, climate and AV — is what we bring. We coordinate with the room-build contractor; we own the integration.

Can the panic room integrate with my Control4 or Crestron system?

The duress panel and the emergency communications are deliberately independent of your main automation system — the whole point is that they keep working if the main system is compromised. The comfort layer, meaning AV, lighting and climate, can integrate with Control4 or Crestron through a secured isolation gateway. That is the architecture we use: it preserves the room’s independence and the convenience of unified control the rest of the time.

How long does a panic room install take?

New construction: 6-12 weeks coordinated with the architectural build. Retrofit into an existing home: 3-6 months (much harder — load-bearing wall changes, structural review). The integration scope (after the room is built) is typically 4-8 weeks regardless.

Can the room be concealed behind a hidden door?

Yes, and it is one of the most requested versions. The entrance is built into cabinetry, a bookshelf, or wall paneling with flush, design-matched finishes so it reads as part of the room. Access is motorized (RFID, keypad, biometric, or phone) or manual, and we coordinate it with your architect and millworker so the concealment survives daily use. A concealed entry pairs naturally with the hardened safe-room build and the independent duress electronics.
