Modular Vault Panels

                                                                  Introduction

Over the past decade, bank protection equipment manufacturers have created high security modular vault panels as a substitute for site poured, in place, concrete vaults.  The advantages are many:

Wall thickness have been drastically reduced, adding needed space inside the vault while reducing costly floor space in buildings.  Using our competitively priced modular panels, the vault room can take any desired shape.  At any future time the vault can be expanded or reduced in size.  It can also be moved and installed in another location.

Our modular panels are often installed within existing concrete vaults to increase security and create a UL listed environment not available with poured in place vaults.  Today, industries other than financial institutions install modular panel vaults.  Jewelry, pharmaceutical, government agencies, securities and dozens of others protect contents with UL assurance of the finest protection available.

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) tested (Actual test photos 1 2 3 )

Underwriters Laboratories (UL) test security products for manufacturers world wide.  BBS modular vault panels have successfully passed every test prescribed for bank vault protection.  Burglar tools such as gas torches, sledge hammers, saws and diamond cutting drills are part of the UL arsenal used to test modular vault panels.  Our modular panels  exceeded all standards established for bank insurance companies as well as receiving government recognition and “patented” exclusively for engineering design.

A primary advantage for using Modular panels is the speed in which a vault can be installed.  In most cases the vault will be completed within one or two days.  Ready for immediate use.  Matching UL listed vault doors are available to complete each vault installation.  Compare this efficient use of time with ordinary site poured in place concrete vaults.  No longer waits of five to six weeks before use.

Our engineers design vaults of every size and shape.  They range From “closet” size residential to “stadium” double decked size. Shipment of most vaults and doors can be made within a week after approval of engineering drawings.

Please review the UL classification schedule below explaining panel dimensions as well as panels thickness and weights necessary for architectural evaluation and vault design.

Modular Vault Panels UL Class I, II & III

Our heavyweight vault panels are constructed with high density concrete and 1/2 inch rebar steel. The panel mating technology provides the best fitting vault structure available. U.L. approved HVAC ports are available.  Manufactured over 2,000 vaults and doors for installations around the world.

Vault Ventilating Port

• The Vault Ventilating Port has passed Underwriters Laboratories Inc. (UL) Class M, 1, 2, 3 Burglary-Resistant test, and each panel bears the UL listed label with it.
• The surface of Vault Ventilating Port consists of galvanized steel with composite material filled inside, and the compressive strength of material is 30,000psi.
• The Air way of Vault Ventilating Port is an offset design.  Its surroundings connect with Vault Panel entirely.  The material of Vault Ventilating Port has to be identical with Vault Panel.  The compressive strength of material must be reached 30,000psi.

Air Guard System

Features

• The Air Guard can automatically activate itself - to open or close - according to Vault Door's status.
• The Air Guard will close automatically when power fail and when power is restored, it will automatically reset itself.
• When the Air Guard closed, it can cut off the circulation of heat, flame and smoke between inside and outside the Vault.
• The Air Guard is equipped with sensors for detecting smoke and heat.  When the temperature is excessive or a heavy smoke occurs, the Air Guard will close automatically to secure the valuables in the vault.
