Frequently Asked Questions

How are the walls of the DIY vault room constructed for security?

The vault room walls are built using solid concrete, featuring two layers of steel-reinforced laminated concrete with an air gap between them. This construction method provides significant structural integrity and a 'reactive armor' effect for enhanced security.

What method was used to create the custom vault door?

The host modified an 84-gun Gettysburg safe by cutting off its front panel. A custom steel frame was then fabricated and integrated to create a high-security vault door solution.

How is the heavy vault door frame secured to the concrete walls?

The frame is secured using 15 long lag bolts driven into the concrete walls. Additionally, Red Head A7 locking compound, a high-strength acrylic adhesive, was used, and the frame was mortared to the wall for maximum security.

What system is used for organizing firearms and gear inside the vault room?

The interior features the Tactical Walls ModWall system, a modular slat-wall style paneling. This allows for flexible and customizable mounting of various accessories, including firearm mounts, plate carriers, and helmets.
