How To Install A Swiss Style Blast Door On Your Bomb Shelter 

Same, I want to also see how its built.

You got it!! Tired of the politicians and high tax nation. Our own country is robbing us of $$ and freedoms

Because 1 door is useless, you need 2 doors to form a sas. Escape doors don't exist in Swiss bunkers. And the most important is that you need an engineer to build it. You will build this underground. Depending on the ground conditions, the way you build it is not the same. And most important, you need structural reinforcements in the concrete walls, random people won't be able to do it well. And then, you need highly specialised machines to inject a mortar beterrn the walls, and between the walls and the slab once the building is done and has sunk in its final position. This sealant is injected at a very high pressure. If you do one part a tiny bit wrong, it's over, your bunker is unsafe and useless. Plus, imagine the liability on it. And just making the concrete for the door would be a problem... 90% of the people would make a random concrete receipe, not following the resistance recommended in Switzerland. They would add way too much water, they would not vibrate the concrete, etc... That's a dangerous idea. Definitely not a DIY project if the guy selling these products is serious.

Same here I know it would have to be watertight for sure some areas are high enough not to flood but summer rains are enough to flood a bunker if it's not watertight

This door is not a door for a safe. These doors are easy to open, they are just heavy, there is no locking with a key. These are used in Switzerland for bunkers or nuclear bomb shelters. That's one of the many elements composing a bomb shelter in Switzerland. You include 2 doors to form a sas. There are air filters to renew the air and purify it, there are many structural requirements to withhold the expected requirements of it. There is sealant required between the walls and the slab above, etc... It's not an anti burglar door, and not an anti-shooting door. We are not in the USA. Other solutions are required to solve those different problems. Those doors are similar to what you'd find in military bunkers.

The door itself is just part of it. If you want this, look at how they are built in Switzerland... The resistance required of the slab above, the air filters, and also TWO doors. We have 2 doors, there is always a sas with 2 doors with something like a 1.5 meters. This wall is just the very begginning of the bunker. Then, between the various walls, between the walls and the slab, there are tubes that are installed during the construction. Once the construction is over, and the building is sinking in the soil and moving, the entrepreneur comes and injects a mortar like product at very high pressure, and it seals the joints between each structure element that was not built in one part.

He answered in another comment. Because it’s a blast door it needs the frame to prevent it from falling into the room. If it swung in, the hinges and locks wouldn’t be enough. Should have some folding cover over the hinges to prevent cutting. Or have a dedicated security door. My preference would be security doors as blasts are extremely unlikely in my rural setting. If you’re really want blast protection a lot of WW2 bunkers have the door to the room at 90° to a hallway which has access at each end. If a bomb lands near either access the blast travels down the hallway and vents out the far access without exerting much pressure on the door. This 2nd access also allowed them to get out if the 1st was caved in. Few had escape tunnels.

I think the door is bigger than the frame so that it can take the blast and transfer that to the walls. The reverse means that only those two metal tabs actually hold it on, and a good blast would shear those clean off.

Close one. Is not that difficult. One hand is on the door handle, one the looking handle and foot are behind the door step.

@@ProFettMoHaMett such actions can "leave" a foot inside the shelter with the door closed

So the wife and kids are stupid? This kind of door remains open 100% of the time, and no one touches it until the day it is needed. These doors are designed for the day when a nuclear explosion occurs, 2 per bunker, with a sas in between, and many regulations to follow to build it properly. These shelters are build within the home, in a cellar. All homes in Switzerland have a cellar with this (not mandatory anymore for few years, but still being built). So no one touches them, it's not a game !

Are you referring to anti-spalling materials? A bunker door down a stairwell likely isn't going to come under small arms, RPG or artillery fire since its underground in a stairwell. I think the more likely way an attacker seeing entry would plug up the air pipes above if they know the location of the bunker. Not sure how well an anti-spalling layer will stand up to a shape charge placed on the door. I believe tanks use layers of kevlar to catch the fragments if a round pentrates of causes spalling inside.

Actually myth busters did a special with bedliner as anti spall protection it worked flawlessly awefull speedy for a whole shelter though

You need video doorbell...

Because it's useless? It's expensive? Because all the cellars in Switzerland are built in concrete, so this is one additional concrete element inside the cellar to enter the shelter. Because the bomb shelters are all made of concrete (concrete foundations, concrete walls, slab above in concrete). In Switzerland, things are engineered, not designed. There is someone who made calculations for the appropriate thickness of concrete needed. Concrete doesn't corrode. Steel does. So absolutely useless.

if you're living as a poor student now... why would you wanna be alive in the post apocalypse... lol

They have both.

His website offers both and lists the pros/cons of each. This is one of his components videos to help folks who want to build a concrete bunker rather than buy a steel bunker.

the box style is more flexable, provides more living space & costs a lot more. Those are bunkers are going to the very wealthy.

I'm guessing its that when it's vertical, the bubbles are squashed out harder because there's more height of concrete on top squishing it.

buddy if you're being targeted by the russian army and you're that important that they're using vaccum bombs, no blast door is gonna save you

Depends on what your looking for, but a realistic starting figure is probably about $120K. You can call Ron and ask.

Yes. Blast doors always open out if they would blow in during a blast

@@AtlasSurvivalShelters oh ok so it's from the pressures of a blast...hmm maybe that's why the XXXXXL Govt bunkers have the multi-bar locking pins in the doors....pressures of a nuke going off elude me so I always assume there's a reason why things are built a very specific way even though it goes against my internal judgment lol thanks for the reply

@@caseydman4651 you are right google it, really nicly spoted but i think your coment will get deleted really fast... anyways you have school for it? I do and i didn't spot it :D

@@tommphaseznamcz lol dude wtf are you talking about?

@@caseydman4651 i mean you nearly said it in oder to work they are missing whole 1 room i mean my english is not perfect and it is hard to explain when i don't know the words in english but like were you ever in power plant? You need to do exacly what they have no joke, if you do what they are doing it is not enought i mean there is a reason nuclera power plants don not have only 1 doors to protect them from radiation. As i see you didn't meant this.. and that is the reason i said it will get deleted coz it shows ghe bunker is just for show off and will not work at all when you get hit by any bomb and based on that doors it is not even working againts ramdom people who would want to get in.

hide or camo your vent pipes... and put a hidden electric fence around it

The door is 90 degrees to the surface, the presumed source of the particles so the shielding requirements will be much less.

You're still here?..is this one of your many child army commenter's? Not only is this irrelevant but You're still a snake. Change your profile pic.
