Storm Shelter, Tornado Shelter, Safe Room

[@paulbrungardt9823]

In Utah, we keep our favorite wives inside a Sortsman Steel tornado shelter/ safe.

[@news_internationale2035]

Don't rely on any "saferoom' that needs electronics to operate the lock.

[@enforcer556danieldefense4]

what about ventilation and lighting in case you need to stay in for a full day or more?

[@badkarmabaroo]

Exactly. They'll be dragging bodies out of that thing

[@MsBizzyGurl]

Yeah, if imma store things, that box is gonna be real uncomfortable to shelter in! 🤣

[@jeffw1246]

Exactly what I was looking for. When I have to move if I can have a contractor put this in the plans for a full size room. Use it every day for real, with inside opening door. Only thing to add as a saferoom might be gunports to fight off home invasion.

[@kevinthehand]

Here's a big misconception. Safe rooms don't get cut into. In the past 20 years, we've had zero rooms cut with torches. The reason? Thieves may think gun powder is inside. Cutting a room might cause a spark and an explosion. Our customers make signs outside the rooms that reads "Safe Containers Explosives."

[@chuck314]

That's amazing! I have the same combination on my luggage.

[@silvershck5237]

ever wondered how you'd get out when the door is jammed by a heavy impact? starving in there is like a thousand times worse than getting squashed by school bus

[@ShadyNationGaming]

U simply buy one with a inward swinging door as most storm shelters have

[@belindasimpson7695]

ummmmmm How Much? And what about ventilation?

[@iamgodofhumancollective5968]

Ill be buying one of these!

[@amped5234]

where is the ventilation?? it's not a storm shelter it's just a walk in safe

[@maxcohen13]

+amped I saw a vent on the left side, about shin high.

[@kendracolehand3390]

We install vents in side walls that have fire doors over them to protect your belongings in a fire. The vents have protective hats them to protect against falling debris.

[@KosukiFire]

How do you open the door when the house falls down around you and the door is blocked? What about air flow and water protection.

[@kendracolehand3390]

Thanks for the question. During disasters, the door will open inward. So you can exit the room and crawl out over debris. These are called inward swinging doors. If you have more questions, call our vault experts at 800 266 7150

[@hollickrichard]

+Kendra Cole Hand your answer is incorrect and confusing the door does not magically change from inward to outward opening you have 2 different designs of door also you did not answer the question about air flow or water protection.

[@waleswideman1]

@@kendracolehand3390 help will arrive let your local fire department know about your shelter so they know where to look after a disaster

[@chillwill5080]

@@waleswideman1 Yeah, I don't think I would want to depend on the government after a major disaster, ask the Katrina folks how that worked out for them.

[@daleboe8912]

It open in

[@gardnerberry113]

You are gonna use this EVERY DAY!!

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

I'd drill a hole in the door, then pop a rod through it and push that interior handle up and push it sideways. Voila... in !

[@potatoman8609]

Good luck getting that done in time before getting shot by the FBI.

[@hollickrichard]

with regard to the vents can I decide at what point in the wall they are placed, the unit would be in my lower basement and with a power outage my flood pumps only have 6 hr back up. I would require the vents much higher on the wall than the ones currently shown

[@kendracolehand3390]

Sportsman Safes have products at the FBI, CIA, Homeland Security, Secret Service, The Smithsonian, Quanico. These safes are the highest quality safes you can buy. They have 2" Step Doors with 3/4" steel Frames. Most of the shelters come with 1/4" steel bodies. They are simply the strongest storm shellers you can buy. Period.

[@KosukiFire]

Have you thought of sliding pocket doors with top and bottom bolts?

[@russellhowens]

Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, but if the lock gets punched out during a tornado, would a person still be able to open it from the inside? It sounds like those two relockers could get someone stuck if there is no way to move them from the inside.

[@immortalis1001]

This is an excellent question, they really should answer this.

[@arithmetikmilitantpoetry9548]

Max Powers i thought the same thing

[@littlebooks4760]

Max Powers Great question thinking outside the box, no punt intended

[@CCWP0251]

It doesn't look like it would be too difficult to slide a saw-zall blade in between the sections that are simply bolted together and cut all of those bolts, literally splitting the unit in half. Might offer welded seams as an option, if your company does the install.

[@chillwill5080]

Imagine taking all that time only to meet the people inside armed to the teeth. 😀

[@jimrylander9143]

handle removed is still easy to open with a pipe wrench. Just saying

[@zachbrown7837]

can the relocker be disengaged from the inside?

[@Steelcitychaos]

I might be wrong but it looks to me that where you join the panels (rooms together) with bolts together it weakens the overall integrity of the room. just seems it could be cut along the joint and be separated.. or cause smoke, and or water. to enter the room!!

[@emmajones8590]

This is so safe that it creeps me out. Reminds me of a coffin.

[@internal_dialogue9290]

How long before you suffocate? Is there a back up key if the keypad doesn’t work?

[@diego59316]

How do you keep a tornado from lifting it off the ground, and hurling around a room full of people? I'm talking EF3 and higher tornadoes I guess.

[@kendracolehand3390]

All our vault rooms come with several 1/2" holes for bolting to a concrete floor. We usually use heavy-duty red-heads or lag bolts. The thickness and strength of bolts is all approved by FEMA.

[@The5150pirate]

An EF5 will snap all those 1/2” Redheads like twigs! Also, an EF5 will hurl a 2x4 through the “reinforced” steel side walls like its butter!

[@The1GWP]

Online reviews say's these safes are very poor quality. The were even less favorable for the owners.

[@user-ej5he8vo4h]

Bulletproof? Explosion proof? Nuclear attack proof?

[@youbastrds231]

This I would just use as a vault inside my basement panic room for all my gold and silver bars

[@8literbeater]

What good is all that fancy vault door mechanism, when I can go through the wall with a chop-saw in about 3 minutes?

[@8literbeater]

@@gemcases so then why have an elaborate fancy vault door mechanism? You didn't address my question at all.

[@descriptiondescriptiondescript]

ok that looks... durable

[@michaellyden9839]

can it be modular. what I mean is the basic structure 4 walls ceiling, floor and door come in pieces instead of a big square on a flat bed semi.

[@jcsftwre]

After you have a fire melt the digital lock how do you get the door open?

[@gksjsj4892]

Idk if I like the door opening to outside like that, if a house came down around that, and shit was piled in front of that door, you would never get that door open

[@Blackwater_House]

An outward opening door on a storm shelter isn’t the best of ideas.

[@shady0079]

is it FEMA approved ?

[@glockman9c]

What happens if the relocker locks with you inside of it?

[@endofanage223]

an expensive coffin...

[@The570Experience]

Wheres the vents?

[@dankdabber_69]

I don't really care, but could this help you in a nuclear disaster because I see the vent but I don't know if is is filtered

[@levi02w]

2:18 he is lieing. It is not hard to drill a safe open if you have the correct drill point. Also the handle being off wont stop anyone, you can use vise grips. And before people me....im a locksmith.

[@OffgridManiac]

is it possible to buy just a vault door the last one we. used in a shelter was a gun safe that we cut in half a concerted around. for $600

[@OffgridManiac]

partyguy35 thanks party guy buy were going to have a steel door welded up for the shelter out of the tax return money

[@cassowinski]

how much?

[@kevinthehand]

Incredible all purpose vault room. It's a safe room, panic room, storm shelter. All in one. It's great having a product you will use everyday for everything. Storm shelters you may only use once in a life time. This vault room you can store things in it everyday.

[@saymyname4822]

How much is your storm shelter?

[@HyperKing128]

Where can I buy one?

[@ginny2071]

ventilation?

[@websurfin9575]

BUT.... what is the securing system that it has to the ground?!

[@AGC828]

Ummmm ...how are we to breathe once the door closes? :)

[@rafajardon6126]

Good

[@studybug2010]

So this is sounding like a boast, that should someone get trapped inside its a guaranteed that no one will be able to get you out? Sounds like an ingenious idea to me. I'm ordering one as long as you can promise me as well that its totally as airtight as it looks.

[@OffgridManiac]

this door would be better if it would lock and unlock manually from both sides of the door with the removable door knob and get rid of that stupid locker mechanism that will kill you when some dumb ass hits it with a hammer and the Bars lock you inside

[@34goofylucy]

What about ventilation

[@fishydubsfishing6516]

When you're in a tornado and the whole house falls down on top of you with a door that opens to the outside if a large piece of concrete or timber fell and block the door you would be trapped in there forever that would be your coffin why would you have a door opening to the outside

[@waltermatney6090]

Yep do your homework and your research before you buy a safe This company has a lot of bad reviews

[@Jemalacane0]

Why would someone be concerned about photo album theft?

[@70MFM]

+Jemalacane0 Protects from fire

[@kendracolehand3390]

People like to lock up photo albums and family heirlooms in case there is a fire at their home. Oh yes, our vault rooms are fire proof with concrete fire board. There are many other options, like stainless steel that is torch resistance to stop attacks. .

[@user-jn5wi4cf7l]

If someone wanted to break into this, they’re not dumb enough to break through the door they’ll just cut the walls and break in

[@3x739]

4:09 A B S O L U T E U N I T

[@plaid13]

I know this is an old video... But NEVER use an outswing door for a storm shelter. That is just dumb. You will end up in a box you cant get out of if the house collapses around you.

[@emmajones8590]

Something goes wrong with the lock and it becomes a coffin. Brrrrr....

[@hardcorehunter9155]

Better build your house around it...how the hell would u get it inside

[@TheMisterEGUY]

This is absolutely ridiculous. Come on, no ventilation, door swings outwards instead of internally, the inner latch moves with the outer. So what happens if someone or something on the other side is preventing the latch from moving. This seems more of a safety hazard then for your safety.

[@MontoyaBrandy]

How do you breathe

[@descriptiondescriptiondescript]

There is an air vent

[@kdog78m]

How about some ventilation for breathing?

[@kevinthehand]

We have ventilation openings in our safe rooms. We can place vents on your actually vault door if this is a concern for you. Call to learn more... 800 266 7150

[@holyshetman1]

Beasty vault

[@Cosmystery]

I dont like the fact of the digital lock.. just adds a piece that can mess up and thats not worth the 'cool' factor when trying to have a safe shelter or storm room

[@radicalracer14]

Total garbage. If you want to laugh take the door backing off and see how inferior the internals are. Including rusty parts.

[@chanregina1940]

biohazard?

[@kendracolehand3390]

You can order nuclear, biological & chemical seals on our shelters to seal your door if you'd like. Please contact Sportsman Vaults for more help - 800 266 7150

[@chanregina1940]

Thank you, answer and remind :))))))

[@ErnestRussia]

Петрович, тащи болгарку

[@kevinthehand]

Two air vents come standard in each room. If you fireproof the room, we include a fire doors over the vents. But when you enter during a storm, you simply open the fire doors over the vents and let the fresh air in. Call us with any questions - 800 266 7150

[@brickit26]

Be fun trying to push that stupid door open with a car and half the house sitting in front of it.....

[@hippiewithacowboyhat]

Beleive me, if someone has the skillset to drill the lock, you taking the handle off isn't going to stop them. Absolute garbage statement that your product is better because the handle comes off. A possible selling point to an idiot, but people with the money to buy this are not quite as dumb as you apparently think.
