Fort Knox Vault Doors

Why do you need a vault door?

Vault doors are durable, and their larger size allows you to be able to safely store more items. A vault door provides more options in terms of display availability compared to regular safes. With a vault door, you can showcase your guns and keep them safely within reach for emergency situations where you must keep your family safe.


A vault door also gives you the opportunity to create a panic room. Whether you are experiencing a home invasion or need a safe space in the event of a tornado or hurricane, a vault door can provide you with a durable, near-indestructible safe space.

Fort Knox research shows many Americans outgrow their home safe within just 2 years after purchase. It’s because safes fill up faster than you think: an antique here, a collectible there. Then top it off with that can’t-throw-it-away paperwork, and you’re out of space. If you can see this type of collection buildup happening to you, we recommend adding one of our Fort Knox vault doors to your existing storage room, building or concrete addition. Or, design a new vault door for your upcoming dream home, so you can rest assured you’re getting industry-leading protection with room to spare.
