This video is about how to Install a Fort Knox Vault Door In your Home or Office. Vault Doors are increasingly popular and are used as safe rooms, large gun rooms, Man Caves, and more. Installation is easier and faster than what you may think. I would recommend you also wear safety shoes and glasses, why take a chance..

I could not believe how effortlessly he moved the door and frame with the rotation of a crow bar LOL. That is a good trick 😁👍

@davidgomez5116 2 жыл бұрын

It's how the Egyptians moved large materials. Put something small underneath that large load so it can be rotated on or rolled. And walla years later you've moved it 100ft lol.

That one is about $8,000. Makes you wonder if a door alone cost that much why is the largest safe less than half? Sheet metal box vs an actual steel product. The " gun safe" market is a rip off. 90% of these 2,000+ dollar safes can be hacked into with a damn axe. And these bolt in vault doors are even a bigger joke. They dont tell you how the door frame and the front side should have steel inside the concrete.

Gorgeous door. Ok why didn't they position the door right in front of the frame instead of doing the crow bar shuffle? bass ackwards. The room is only as secure as the ceiling and the room. Sides and floor.

@Ghost_Os 4 жыл бұрын

This was my thought as well. Let people see it can be moved a distance, and let them see the crowbar trick long enough to mentally absorb it. I would add one thing to the instructions; when finished, repurpose plywood and top crate into a nifty set of shelves 😊

@spartanalphamode2987 Жыл бұрын

It’s much easier if the safe has no one guarding it. But most rich people if not a hire a security guard or two to keep an eye on the house so you’ll be sweating bullets if you try to break in during any day. Plus the safe or vault is inside of the house and that makes it nearly impossible to bypass. If a tornado, hurricane, and fire can’t do it neither can an army of 1 or 2 guys. Also if you try to take out the guards there might be a radio call, alarm or nearby backup etc… No chance in hell you’ll make it out alive let alone to see your team go to the hospital for bullet wounds etc..

@spartanalphamode2987 Жыл бұрын

There’s some wood that is fire resistant and even water resistant and for the most part that’s the darker brown wood and it’s very expensive. You’d want to use that kind of wood over any steel since it’s a lot better looking and it actually absorbs most shockwaves, earthquakes, and even if you don’t believe me most people will want that over steel, because you can drill holes in it easier and hang stuff etc…. I actually have a safe that has 4 inch thick steel on the outside and in the inside I added 3 inch thick expensive wood to add that man cave vibe and it actually looks nice and absorbs earthquakes pretty well and I’ve been through two earthquakes. I mean my stuff doesn’t fall at all and I’ve installed cameras inside to see how it performs and the whole place is very solid.

I'll never understand why people would spend all this money on a safe or vault door setup which has a backup key option? What good is all that if someone can just pick the lock?

@DeanSafe 2 жыл бұрын

If you’re talking about key locks that can override the combination lock, You’re a hundred percent right I feel exactly the same way. Thankfully this Safe doesn’t have one, it does have a “key locking dial” that only keeps the dial from turning. I’ve seen many people misuse this feature on their gun safe. Most people with dial locks get nervous because it takes so long to open a safe with a dial so they will unlock the safe then put the dial on zero and turn the key. This will Freeze the lock in the unlocked position with a lock so easy to pick the post office won’t allow them on your mailbox. Maybe I should make a video on this. Such a great subject thank you so much for bringing it up, John
