I know this is an old video... But NEVER use an outswing door for a storm shelter. That is just dumb. You will end up in a box you cant get out of if the house collapses around you.
Exactly what I was looking for. When I have to move if I can have a contractor put this in the plans for a full size room. Use it every day for real, with inside opening door. Only thing to add as a saferoom might be gunports to fight off home invasion.
When you're in a tornado and the whole house falls down on top of you with a door that opens to the outside if a large piece of concrete or timber fell and block the door you would be trapped in there forever that would be your coffin why would you have a door opening to the outside
A vault door is no better than the wall it is inserted into. As a chain is no stronger than it’s weakest link. Unless there is an actual vault behind that vault door it’s pretty much a no brainier, it’s going to be the wall or housing structure that’s breached. Take it for what it’s worth but nothing is really safe anymore.
I dont like the fact of the digital lock.. just adds a piece that can mess up and thats not worth the 'cool' factor when trying to have a safe shelter or storm room
One reason I've contacted you is because I had about 20 years ago a safe that was broken into by the ATF. I want a door that they cannot or anyone can not break into pretty much full proof. As the saying goes you can knock but you can't come in
This is absolutely ridiculous. Come on, no ventilation, door swings outwards instead of internally, the inner latch moves with the outer. So what happens if someone or something on the other side is preventing the latch from moving. This seems more of a safety hazard then for your safety.
2 ✌️ words underwriter Laboratories. You should pay them a fee to break in the safe for a TL-30x6 rating & get your little stopwatch out. Wait did you say fireboard 😆
One quarter inch thick outer steel box ? I'm not impressed. I've seen some that are one inch. There was no mention of whether the door was solid plate or composite nor the overall weight of the safe. Drill resistant hard plate around the lock is pretty much standard and is not that hard to drill. I have seen ball bearing hard plate defeated as well. Does this safe offer glass plate re-lockers ? Being the "best" is a pretty big claim. Not true in this case.
It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to slide a saw-zall blade in between the sections that are simply bolted together and cut all of those bolts, literally splitting the unit in half. Might offer welded seams as an option, if your company does the install.
What a poor design and sloppy craftsmanship. I know, I purchased one and took the panel off the back and found miss-aligned locking bolts and piss poor welds. and i have pictures to prove it.
