Security & Safe Room Doors For Severe Weather

Storm Shelter door with lock box.Vault Pro's Vault, Security & Safe Room Doors take on a different stance when used on the exterior of the home, business or storm shelter.  Exposure to the elements (sun, rain, snow & tornado's) is a major concern when dealing with steel products.  The sun alone will destroy most coatings and the rain or snow will be right behind it to rust up moving parts that aren't well sealed or properly weather proofed.  Tornado's of course will damage just about anything in it's path and usually tear locks and handles off of normal vault doors.The fact that these doors are exposed to the outdoors also exposes them to potential criminal activity that may result in an attempted break in.For Vault, Security & Safe Room Doors that are intended to be exposed to the weather, Vault Pro goes the extra mile ensuring that any and all seams are sealed completely, all steel surfaces are properly prepped, primed and coated with a U.V. protected Marine Grade finish.  Heavy duty lock box protects lock from elements.Protecting the lock & handle, Vault Pro heavy hinges a 1/4" steel protective box completely over both the lock and handle. Vault Pro's known for tight tolerances and we demonstrated it once again with a lock cover that closes with less than 1/16" gap over the surface of the door when locked.  We don't just call it quits after that...we have put this protective cover to the test.  Notice the rain gutter covering the top three sides of the lock & handle, it isn't there just to channel the water away...it is built to exactly match the inside of the lock box to support it when it is closed and locked. If the box itself is beat repeatedly during an attack or by tornado debris the rain gutter & support does not allow the protective box to move from it's original position...even after repeated blows from a 16 lb. sledge hammer.  When a siliconized gasket is applied, water is channeled away from potentially sensitive area's of the door keeping the lock and handle dry and functioning even in the worst of storms or attempted break in.For more information about heavy duty storm doors and security shelter doors please check out our website.Stay safe,Tonywww.vaultprousa.com

As one of the many millions of responsible gun owners in this country, we understand the need for safety when handling and storing firearms. We all know the first rules of safe gun handling: Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded. Always check to see if there is a round in the chamber when handling a firearm. Always point the firearm in a safe direction in case of accidental discharge. As adults we teach these safety tips to young people who will be the firearms owners of the future. Unfortunately, children may not fully grasp the importance of these rules and may obtain access to firearms that have not been properly secured. This can lead to tragic incidents. Always make sure your weapons are safely secured when not in use. We should all follow the simple steps outlined below and supported by national gun rights groups, such as: NSSF and their ProjectChild Safe program, and the NRA. • Unloaded firearms should be stored in a locked gun safe when not in use. The storage location should not be accessible to children and secured with a locking mechanism with a combination only known by the responsible adult owner of the firearms. • Ammunition should be stored separate from firearms in a secure container, ideally in a safe. • Gun locking devices, such as a cable-style gun lock can provide an added layer of security. • Do a thorough check of ALL firearms being stored to make sure they are completely unloaded. This additional step can prevent accidental discharge when removing firearms from storage. We are proud supporters of the 2nd Amendment, which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. We also feel a great sense of responsibility to make sure we keep those arms safe and secure when not in use. Vault Pro safes far exceed all DOJ requirements and provide the best protection against break-ins and fire. If you are looking for a superior security solution for your firearms or other valuables, please contact us. Stay safe, Tony https://vaultprousa.com

Why we use only American made steel in our safes, vault doors and shelter walk-in vault rooms. Steel is at an all time high, but it is worth it for the strength and security that an American made steel safe brings you.
