Gun safes, security cameras, etc

You spent more on protecting your safe than the stuff in my safe is worth.

I can't have the Crocs given to me by both grandfather's disappearing.
A security system with monitoring is a must.

Like Crocodile Jody says, some stuff is worth way more than any value that can be assigned to that item. Irreplaceable at any cost.

If building it to double as a safe room, have the door open into the room. That way in event of tornado, and the house is demolished around it, you can still open door to get out.

Does anybody make a vault door that opens inward? You could always build a vestibule as part of the safe. Put in inswinging hollow metal door on it (rated if you're so inclined), then have the vault door open into that room.

IIRC, the liberty vault doors are around $1200.

Concrete block, rebar, and pour the hollows on the blocks, plus a good door.

This is basically what you'll find in any neighborhood bank branch, btw. A lot of times they're precast panels joined in the field, but that has more to do with certifications and insurance than any functional difference. There are 2 and 3-hr UL certifications for CMU walls.

IIRC, the liberty vault doors are around $1200.

Starting at $5700, according to their website.

It does look like there are some brands in that $1200 price point though:

Where does one source a vault style door?

Drake Safes builds vault doors also.

I guess I should have put more thought into this before I built my house according to you guys I feel like a cinder block room towering over my foundation would have drawn a lot of attention during construction though ha
