VAULT DOOR
Vault Door,
Top-Level Security
Certified vault doors for bank branches, gold storage and high-security installations, engineered to resist drilling, cutting and forced entry attempts.
WHY BUY FROM US
Built for the highest tier.
Vault doors sit at the top of the security range, every element is built to match that standard, not just the lock.
Independently Tested
Tested and certified to recognised international security standards, verifiable credentials, not just marketing language.
Multiple Relockers
Independent relocking mechanisms activate automatically if either lock is forcibly tampered with, restricting the internal boltwork.
Robust Build
Steel-fibre reinforced barrier material designed to resist drilling, cutting and forced entry attempts, not just a thick door face.
Genuine Chubb Stock
Authorised dealer stock, not a grey market import, every vault door traceable back to Chubb’s own manufacturing standard.
THE RANGE
Built to resist, not just to lock.
Construction, locking and access control all work together at this level of security.
A vault door isn’t just a heavier version of a strong room door, it’s engineered against a specific set of attack methods: drilling, cutting and forced entry using powered tools. Everything from the door’s core material to how access is controlled during working hours is designed around resisting sustained, deliberate attempts to get through.
Reinforced construction
The door core uses a reinforced barrier material designed to resist drilling and cutting attempts, not just a thick steel face. This is what separates a vault door from a standard strong room door.
Independent locking
A high-security combination lock pairs with a key lock, both code-changeable, so access is reassigned without replacing hardware. Multiple relockers protect mechanisms from tampering.
Day gate access
An optional day gate allows the vault to stay ventilated and partially accessible during working hours, secured by its own high-security deadlocks, without leaving the main door fully open.
ACCESS DURING THE DAY
The vault doesn’t have to stay shut all day.
A day gate lets staff move in and out without leaving the vault fully open.
Keeping a full vault door open during working hours defeats its purpose, but keeping it closed makes daily access impractical for staff who need to be in and out regularly. A day gate solves this: a secondary, lighter barrier fitted within the main doorway, secured by its own lock system, that allows ventilation and controlled movement while the heavy door itself stays open only as long as needed.
Independent security
Independent security
The day gate is secured by high-security deadlocks, independent of the main vault door lock system, not an afterthought.
Practical daily use
Practical daily use
Staff can move between the vault and the room outside without the main door needing to stay unlocked and open for long periods.
CERTIFIED SECURITY
Built to the highest tier, tested to match.
A vault door carries the same rigour in testing as it does in construction, no exceptions for a single component.
Every element, the lock, the relockers, the barrier material, is independently tested against recognised international security standards, not just assembled from strong-sounding parts. If a supplier can’t confirm what standard their vault door is certified against, that’s the first thing worth asking before you commit to an installation of this scale.

BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Not every vault door is equal.
Certification and construction claims look similar on paper, every supplier says “bank-grade.” In practice, the gap shows up in what’s actually been tested, and against what.
Whether you’re comparing a Chubb vault door against Falcon or another local supplier, the details worth checking stay the same: verified certification, genuine independent relocking, and stock you can trace back to an authorised dealer. Ask any supplier which standard their vault door is actually certified against, not just “tested” in general terms, and confirm whether the relockers and barrier material are standard or an upgrade. That’s what’s built into every vault door on this page.
What to Check Before You Buy
Certification Standard
Ask which standard the vault door is certified against, “bank-grade” or “military-spec” alone means nothing without a name.
Barrier Material
Ask what the door core is actually made of and what attack methods it’s specifically designed to resist.
Relocker Coverage
Confirm relockers protect both lock mechanisms, not just one, and whether they’re included as standard.
Genuine Stock
Confirm the door is genuine, traceable stock from an authorised dealer, not a parallel import with no local backing
Choosing The Right Safe
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Explore answers about vault door features, specifications, installation, and maintenance to help you choose the right security solution.
What is the purpose of a vault door?
The primary purpose of a vault door is to secure valuable assets and protect occupants inside a reinforced space. Vault doors create a strong barrier between the protected area and external threats such as theft, forced entry, fire exposure, and environmental risks. They are commonly used in high-security locations where valuable items, confidential documents, or sensitive materials require advanced protection.
Can a vault door be opened from the inside?
Yes, certain brands of vault doors have an internal handle that allows users to lock and unlock the door from inside the protected space. This feature is important for safety, ensuring that occupants can exit the vault area when needed. Internal release mechanisms are commonly included in vault doors designed for rooms where people may enter and remain inside.
Do vault doors open in or out?
Most vault doors are designed as out-swing doors, meaning you pull the door towards you when entering the vault. However, in certain situations where there is limited space or insufficient clearance for the door to swing outward, an in-swing vault door may be used. The choice depends on the building layout, installation requirements, and safety considerations.
Are vault doors fireproof?
Vault doors are designed to provide strong resistance against fire, although the level of protection depends on the specific model and certification. Heavy-duty steel vault doors offer superior resistance to fire, smoke, and high-pressure water sprays commonly used during firefighting efforts. When combined with fire-rated construction, they help protect valuable contents from heat and fire damage.
What is a vault door made of?
Vault doors are primarily made of heavy-grade steel, reinforced concrete, and specialized composite layers. These materials work together to create a strong protective barrier that can resist common attack methods such as cutting, drilling, prying, and fire exposure. The construction materials and thickness vary depending on the required security rating.
What are the different types of vault doors?
Vault doors are categorized based on their swing direction, intended application, and security level. The main types include out-swing vault doors, in-swing vault doors, and storm shelter designs. Each type is designed for different environments, with considerations such as available space, security requirements, and the level of protection needed.
How thick is a vault?
The thickness of a vault depends on its design, construction materials, and required security level. Modern vaults are typically built using steel-reinforced modular concrete panels designed for maximum strength and crush resistance. In some advanced constructions, a 3-inch thick panel of specialized concrete can provide significantly greater strength compared to much thicker layers of standard concrete.
