When my dad and I built my grandfather's house, we built a gun room vault with a 2 ton Ft Knox door on it...I'll never forget hauling it in on a skid loader, it had 4 of us on the back and it still kept endoing!😂🤣 Man, I tell you what though,that door is as smooth as butter!! Just the most beautiful piece of work, they sure do amazing work at Ft Knox, I will say that. I was amazed at the ease of that door once installed, my 4yr old can open and close it!
Wouldn't it make more sense to just build a cinder block room reinforcement with rebar and just buy the safe door? I mean if someone can break reinforced rebar in your home they can break into anything
Love this kind of content. It’s important to remember that the fort know is basically overkill because the security weakness is the walls. If I were attempting to break in I would start at the welded corners and cut a crawl hole in the wall. Great stuff though!
Plasma torch connected to generator on flatbed truck should do the trick! Only way to secure walls is encase in concrete! Even then if someone is determined with right tools they will find a way! My dad always said locks only keep honest people honest!
If they built this, just like it is, then did a second layer of steel with a 4" to 6" air gap on the top and sides for concrete to be poured into once it was set, it would be a crooks worst nightmare to break into. Especially with mesh panels throughout.
If it's above ground, then it should have a layer of stainless steel sandwiched between two layers of 3/8 steel. That should complement the Fort Knox door.
If I paid 25k and you just let it fall off the trailer on my concrete floor. Like y’all did I would have told y’all to gtfo and take your room with you. Complete disrespect to damage the customers property
How big of a discount did you give the owner for destroying the back of his 20k gun vault? The way you unloaded that was very unprofessional and your lucky the owner didn't make you haul it back to your shop and fix it.
Looks cool. But since it’s sitting out in the open, I really question how secure it is. I’m betting one guy with a decent saw could make short work of those mild steel walls. It looked like, during the video, there’s only one layer? I hope I’m wrong.
its looks good but as a welder myself I do not understand using such a huge and heavy door on a box that is made of 3/16 to 1/4in at most the door weights as much if not more then the rest of the box
The issue with the very sturdy powder cabinet the guy makes for himself with 1/4" AR500 steel is that it basically will transform a potential powder fire into a giant bomb because of the pressure buildup in the cabinet if there's ever a fire. Gonna make the cleanup real easy if there's a fire, since the house will be leveled.
It's probably overkill but I would have liked to see it with two layer walls with some sort of insulation or light weight concrete for insulation against fire.
@@christopherluce8065 it's a lot of show and the door would be hard to get through. But with common, off the shelf battery powered grinders (from of home depot, lowes) a hole could be cut into that relatively easy and quickly... Just not very quietly. A fire would just turn it into a oven in no time at all.
I hope that guy is building a rebar and concrete filled cinder block encasement around that entire "vault" otherwise a porta-torch and less than two minutes will easily get you through anything but the door itself. Hell a grinder and a couple of cutting discs will get you in, in less than ten minutes.
Great video. Not only showcases your company's talents, but also that the American small business is the family of American ingenuity, pride and built relationships between owner and the ones that sustain us, our employees that are also our family.
Another option for it would be to make the same type of outside then a 6-12 inch gap and a thin sheet metal inside with reinforcement ridges in it so when it gets installed they can fill the gap with concrete both to add weight and to make it that much harder to cut in with the different material. Yes you don't get the internal shelves built in but an extra 10-20 tons of weight will make it that much harder to move it once in place.
The powder storage container is not suitable for smokeless or black powder check Fed. (ATF ) regs. Smokeless propellants intended for personal use in quantities not to exceed 20 pounds may be stored in residences. Quantities in excess of 20 but not exceeding 50 pounds must be stored in a wooden box or cabinet having walls of at least one-inch nominal thickness. There are other requirements...This container is a potential bomb. Insurance companies will not pay on a claim with improper powder/propellant storage Just a heads up. Very cool walk-in vault!
An all in one plasma cutter would open that up in less then 2 minutes. Should have saved $23k and purchased a 8x8 HIGH CUBE shipping container. You could have painted Fort Knox on it yourself and had the same setup!
The Fort Knox doors where built to be put into concrete. It would be cheaper to build a gun vault like we did out of concrete with steel reinforcement bars 8 in thick walls with the same on top.
Looks like a system I made in the 1980's in my old home using an old Mosley combination safe door Was a bitch to take apart when I sold the home. But on the metal scrap recovery made a nice sum. I still have the safe door for a new gun room project.
I think you need to start making those gun safes. Study as hell and doesn't use a flimsy lock. I'm sure you can build them better and cheaper than most of those high-end brand safes. I'll take a 72x36x32 safe! Love to have a vault like you made, but I don't have the money, the space, or that many guns!
"Lock picking lawyer here, so we're going to cut the dehumidifier chord, push that into the vault, and then run this 15 foot wire to the safety release catch and get in"
You have an EMP cage, why not put in 5 or 10 digital multimeter and some large high amperage diodes/rectifiers, walkie-talkies and other useful EMP sensitive devices and supply's, for barter and uses.
I love what you do and your appearance on Canadian prepper. But man, you have got to put something to cover those doors during transportation. So it don't get with bugs, rocks and dirt on it.
I'm not sure what your point is. There is no place on Earth you can't eventually get into. Even the real Fort Knox. What a safe does is create the noise and obstacle to give you time to react appropriately to someone with an angle grinder. . .
And from watching Ron’s videos we know that we could get into that safe room with a Diablo blade in about 5 minutes. For the price this guy could of blocked and poured a room and just put the vault door on it.
I hope u see this comment; i just love watching u make and install all these shelters, wish i had the money to buy, and the land, and space, and then the money to install one of any size at all. i love what you're doing, what you're providing to people and the higher chances of survival you're giving us, keep it up! Also, just a weird thought; you're mostly invested in family sized or family survival oriented survival shelters, but u have a market for solo lone wolf shelters as well, u could start your own line of those, maybe not made out of metal but shaped plastic like in some of your videos where u showed how some plastic tanks could be repurposed for survival shelters. I really think u might have an idea there.
@@AtlasSurvivalShelters ok, well i'm just putting ideas on the table for ya, could be opportunity for some thing like a shallow sunk one or so man shelter that isn't made out of metal. maybe look around and see if u can retro-fit existing plastic tanks? i don't know, just thought i'd spread my idea forward.

Remember to check with the lockpicking lawyer to see if it is secure and unpickable.

hahaha nooooo, get rid of that masterlock piece of garbage. Masterlocks usually fall to bits when the lock picking lawyer looks at them!

No such thing for him....lol
That puck lock isn’t just easily pickable. It can also easily be bypassed. Have him buy one that has a abloy core.
When you just let it roll off of the trailer the safe hit that bobcat front loader. You can see the big mark it left
Yea, that wasn't great.

Dear Ron, please, please do a review on that little home built gunpower safe your employee built during his free time. That looked so cool....
My first thought was he has built a bomb. Look into proper powder magazine - they need to vent out the top if the powder goes.
@@user-lt6oh2bu7c lol yes exactly what i was thinking. He built a bomb.
want to know if its hard to weld that steel ?
Seems to be very little care put into the moving and unloading aspects of this operation

Wouldn't it make more sense to just build a cinder block room reinforcement with rebar and just buy the safe door? I mean if someone can break reinforced rebar in your home they can break into anything
This is the way we used to build film vaults.
Metal Faraday cage parden my spelling ,EMP PROOF RIGHT IM NOT SURE
pretty sure bolt cutters and a sledge would easily go through that.... unless you filled the cinder blocks with concrete
Yup I'd agree area around door floor roof walls all be at least 4ft rebar concrete plus 1-2 inch steel plate
I imagine that's why many companies sell just the doors. But the entire vault makes rich people happy. Looks better
Love this kind of content. It’s important to remember that the fort know is basically overkill because the security weakness is the walls. If I were attempting to break in I would start at the welded corners and cut a crawl hole in the wall.

One little plasma cutter, my guns now, haha 😂
How are u gonna get that on the property and cut the hole but fr id be easy as hell hopefully u dont hit any ammo cutting it open😂
@404 Error Not Found the metal is not thin
Built in-place with thick reinforced concrete filled floor, walls, and ceiling. Like a real bank vault. and a real vault door.
If they built this, just like it is, then did a second layer of steel with a 4" to 6" air gap on the top and sides for concrete to be poured into once it was set, it would be a crooks worst nightmare to break into. Especially with mesh panels throughout.

LMFAO 🤣 really you think you're going to hold that from rolling off the trailer
Glove gets caught on the D ring shackle and he was gonna go flying lol
you need an overhead gantry crane - someone is going to get injured or killed i fear
He made a big BOMB! The storage cabinet should have a weak wall or seam for self venting, not a safe!

He should run a line out for the pump out feature on the dehumidifier. Otherwise you have to empty it frequently.
The key is to have a gun room that is not known about... And one that is.
"Lock picking lawyer here, so we're going to cut the dehumidifier chord, push that into the vault, and then run this 15 foot wire to the safety release catch and get in"
When someone barricades the door that emergency lock does nothing. You are in a slow death prison.
