Was on a sales call today for a remodel project and was talking with the owner in his office.  I noted his old vault door and started looking it over.  He said it was going to be removed and likely scrapped since they dont need it anymore.

I expressed interest and he said its all mine.  Nice Guy

Anywho here is a picture while its still installed.  I just need to go pick it up during demo phase

EDIT: Forgot to mention he said they had a locksmith come out to replace the wheel due to numbers being worn off and were told this brand of safes/vaults used to put vials of gas behind the lockset so that in the event it was hit with a sledge hammer the vial would break and harm the burglar. Any truth to that? Ive never heard of it before but he said they took it apart and this one didnt have that feature.

This is your 2 month update request.  Any updates?

That is awesome. I don't think they can be legally "booby trapped" anymore.

I stopped out and unfortunately didn't get the project bid I submitted to him but he still said I could have the door.

He had the general take a look and they said it will come out without issue.

I think they are holding until end of may for demo so I should get it after then.

Still trying to figure out what to do with it. I'm building a new shop so it will likely go in there as a vault room.  I just installed a AMSEC about a year and a half ago for my personal vault.

It is probably a glass plate relocker.  My safe has one.  Hit the door, glass breaks, additional bars spring out to keep safe secure.

Nice door OP!  I hope it all goes smoothly.

Shameless bump for an update!

Yup, (some) old safes and vault doors had a glass tube / vial / bottle of tear gas in them.  EDIT : Example - http://safecrackeratlarge.blogspot.com/2013/10/safe-boobytraps-tear-gas-and-unknown.html

Bad news update.  The schools office renovation was shelved for the year after going over budget.

The business manager said its mine as soon as they give it the go ahead but looks like its going to be next summer before I get it

my work has one too and I'm trying to get it from them

I doubt it though. The old vault is just sitting with the door open full of boxes of junk. strangely it's on a 2nd floor
