Why do so many of the vaults and safes I have been researching having their hinges on the outside? I would think you want them on the inside to decrease the attack points, but I just started learning, thanks.
It’s usually not a vulnerable point at all. If you picture the inside of the door, you have the bolts extending behind the frame or into sockets, and so even if you were to cut the hinges off completely, the door still will not come out of the door frame.
HI Aaron, to my surprise there are videos of people using hardiebacker cement board & even just sheet rock building their vault door room . What tends to be the most common construction you see on insulation's for vault doors( poured concrete / block wall filled. ) ? If you ever do a Q & A video Whats the back story to Parker Safes, How/Why did you decide to start safe/vault business? " Thank you
Yes, I have seen a number of different materials used for vault rooms, but the best is usually poured concrete with rebar where the walls are tied to the floor and ceiling. I would say a minimum of 4 inches would be adequate, but I’ve seen vault rooms as thick as 20 inches.As far as our backstory, I have an uncle who is a master firearms engraver and started selling safes back in the late 80s. I was in law-enforcement for a while and worked as a park ranger at grand Teton nation Park and then a trim carpenter in Arizona and I just sort of fell into it. my younger brother asked me what I was going into when the construction job ended and mentioned calling our uncle to see what’s involved in getting into the Safe business. I made that call about a year later. I was on the Safe business. Coincidentally I hope that same brother get into the business as well and he’s now, Parker Safes and security in Ohio.

Approx. price range?
4-7 k
Does anyone make a vault door rated for TL-30?
I believe Brown Safe and Wilson Safe do.
