It’s always been a dream of mine to have a vault door in my house; so we finally did it- we ordered a Fort Knox vault door. @Fort-Knox-Inc
Now these doors are heavy. The install crew brought a mobile hoist that they had designed and fabricated themselves.
Once the vault door was uncrated, they used the hoist to stand it up vertically.
Then they used two carts with hydraulic jacks to roll it into position.
Everything about this door is heavy duty, even the way it was packaged.
The vault door is bolted into place with a right, left, and top clamp frame.
There are also four adjustment bolts used to make the door plumb.
The black chrome hardware we ordered for this door was absolutely beautiful.
Fort Knox has a ton of options available. We chose a distressed finished with rivets, and a crane hinge.
This door has a five-to-one gear drive that’s smooth as butter, you can open it with one finger.
There’s 24 locking bolts, including 4-star corner bolts.
Let me know in the comments- what would you keep in your vault? @hausplans
