Safe Room Door Lock

Gotta do a safe-room door lock...I'm thinking a 600lb mag lock? The door
will be semi hidden and swing towards the opening person/side. No other
hardware will be visible on the door...it's in a MBR closet and will have
shelves on it. Heavy wooden door.

I don't think a door strike will work as it will be visible.

Any other ideas before I rough it in tomorrow?

What about the hinges? It the door is swinging out, the hinges and pins will
be exposed to the outside. A pin at each hinge that recesses into the jamb
when the door is closed will prevent the door from opening, from the hinge
side, if the pins are popped. With no other hardware on the outside of the
door, a 600 lb. mag, with a battery back up power supply, should be
sufficient. It should also be a steel door with steel jamb. There is a
company that is selling these doors now called Masters Security Door. They
are a Italian company with a new operation in the States. They are starting
to sell these doors in Florida's Home Depots. Their website will be
available shortly. It is a great door.

This was a last minute decision (aren't they all). The door is wood, the
room is block, but the frame out is wood. I guess they'll hide the hinges
with the shelving - it's not gonna be 100% invisible obviously..it coulda
been if they had consulted with me 2 months ago instead of yesterday.

I'm thinking of hiding the control/pwr supply & backup outside the room
instead of inside since I want the lock to fail-secure...whaddya think? Of
course a rex button inside the room.

Mag locks are fine for safe rooms as long as you provide lots of
backup power and a panic release for the magnet. Also, assuming
this is to protect the homeowners in the event of a break-in, I
would use a 1200 lb lock. A good size screwdriver can easily
deliver 600 lbs of leveraged force to pry the door open.
Recommend to the client that they leave a cell phone inside the
room at all times.

I had a client who used an old fallout shelter in his basement as
a safe room. Turns out nasties from the inner city were more of
a threat than the USSR. His room had a manually operated bar
lock across the door. Whoever built the place was really into
preparedness. There were shelves with provisions for something
like 90 days for two or three people, a toilet, a hand-pumped
well and stuff. When my customer bought the house the previous
owner left everything intact.

BTW, did you see the movie "Safe Room?"

Yes saw the movie.

It's really not intended to be a people safe-room although it could sorta be
one...more of an informal secured room in a snow-bird house for him to hide
large paintings and shit like that.

I doubt though that a screwdriver could pry opened (towards you) a 600lb mag
lock...I've tried blasting against one that opened away and couldn't do it
with my massive super strength :)

lock...I've tried blasting against one that opened away and couldn't do it

I forced a 600-lb lock open with my shoulder once and I'm only of
average strength -- not exactly a weight lifter. :^) It really
wasn't all that tough. They're not intended to keep bad guys out
-- more for limiting movement of personnel. If there's a wall or
other rigid, parallel structure nearby, a strong man could open
the door using leg pressure. It's surprising the amount of
pressure even an average adult can deliver in a leg press.

Consider the leverage of a 12" long screwdriver with 1/2"
inserted into the space between the door and the frame. There's
a 23/1 mechanical advantage. The thief only has to apply about
30-35 lbs of force. Note: If it were linear motion the figure
would be just over 26 pounds, but the screwdriver is describing a
circular arc so the required force in a tangential direction
increases somewhat.

If the door opens away from the lock it's even easier -- take a
run and hit it with your shoulder. I weigh just over 200 pounds.
At a 15 mph sprint that's more than enough force to pop a 600-lb
lock. With a 1200 pound lock it would be significantly harder to
pop. If you use an 1800 pound lock the required force would
destroy the door before the magnet would give way. :^)

The difference in cost between a 600 and a 1200 or 1800 pound
lock isn't all that much. You might want to explain the options
and let the client decide what he wants to spend. Most folks
will part with a few extra dollars if they can see a significant
advantage in the hardware.

Don't ya luv it..

Your call... but, if the door fails secure, which it should, and the perp
has access to the control, you need to consider a mechanical type rex button
(pneumatic type possibly) and not an electronic type rex device and that
connection needs to stay within the protected area and not the control/pwr
supply. I usually add an emergency button and if budget allows a dedicated
phone line, which I also use for the alarm panel. I put a wall phone in as
well. Safe rooms can be used for storm protection as well as personnal
protection during a crime. A phone is handy as long as there is service. I
know someone here mentioned a cellphone, but in a bunker you don't alway
have cell signal, so I would be leary of limiting it to this suggestion
alone. Have electrical outlet for TV/Radio and an exhaust fan. Put the light
on a dimmer switch. Total light or total darkness can get to a person if
they spend an extended amount of time in there. Any wall that is not block
or concrete, line with 3/4" plywood before drywall. Makes the door jamb a
little tricky but that is why they have split jambs or extention jambs. But
then again you said this one is to late...Oh well...there is always next
time.

OK, your judgement call
A good size screwdriver can easily
deliver 600 lbs of leveraged force to pry the door open.

Nice sales pitch but not likely. A properly installed door does not leave
enough room between the door and the jamb to get a **good sized**
screwdriver in for the leverage you are referring to
Recommend to the client that they leave a cell phone inside the
room at all times.

Right...and leave it charging and make sure it has continuos signal in a
bunker and make sure the kids don't take it and when they change providers,
remember that phone which has been hidden in the basement for the last 10
years. Your expecting alot Robert.

Have to break out the old slide rule for that line of BS there, Robert?

Lets think about this for kicks and giggles. A safe room is probably... what
6'X8'? Maybe 8'X10'? and you want someone to get to a 15mph sprint in that
distance. Riiiightttt! And why should they do this? To get out? Remember the
door swings out. All they have to do is hit the rex button. Why take a
chance on injuring their shoulder? Next, a perp could take a 15mph run,
which is questionable inside any structure, at it and if the door is
installed properly, with or without a mag of any size most likely will
bounce off the door and land on his ass. Why, because, again Robert, the
door swings outward.
Your propensity to quickly jump in and cast your opinions vastly outweights
your understanding of what you read. Your so easy, but keep it coming, if
for nothing more than kicks and giggles.

It's 8" block wall with fully grouted cells and rebar. The door will be
mostly concealed including the hinges (dunno how but the guy is loaded so if
there is such a thing he will buy it). There won't be any visible door knob
or hardware so I think prying th door outward, even with only a 600lb mag
lock will be pretty darn difficult. Also, the perp will have to pass at
least 3 layers of an ADT alarm system to get to where the room is.

Yah ADT beat me to the remodel...but given they've already had 3 false
alarms since we've been there so dunno how long that relationship will last.
I met with the sheriff today and I asked him what zone ADT dispatched on and
he said they didn't give him any info...just the alarm dispatch...weird...we
always dispatch with a zone description. Ah well.

I hate prewiring for another company, but I am anyway. I know my prices are
more reasonable then their's would be.

Crash,

I have Worthless filtered so I don't usually read his drivel.
What I shared with you was for your benefit since you asked for
opinions on the plan -- not some sort of contest to show who
knows best.

If you believe a 600 pound lock will hold, go for it. I'd try to
get the client to spring for a stronger lock if he's keeping
valuable paintings and such in there. However, you know the
client and you probably have a good handle on what he wants.

Loaded aint the werd man. Originally it looks like a Pro 1 abortion, that
ADT tried to clean up a bit. Safewatch Pro 3000 but what a rat's nest of
wired and wireless. Holes cut in walls that aren't patched. A 5 buck surge
protector strip from Home Depot with the transformers plugged into it
laying on a shelf. Why do people bend the antenna on 5881's at right angles
to the wall instead of positioning the receiver so they lay flat and
vertical? (rhetorically asked).

I missed getting it by a week or two, so now he's locked in for a while.

One thing I'd not seen before is these little intercom looking things next
to each keypad (like the DSC thingies) the seem to connect into the back of
the keypads I know this because they notched the drywall and didn't spackle
the notch. Did I mention this is a million+ dollar home? Looks like krap. Is
there an intercom feature for the 3000? The homeowner doesn't seem to know
what they are for either!...wierd cause he just had all this work done
recently.

So when I'm leaving there today and yakking with the sheriff's deputy I turn
and look up the hill at the retaining wall that holds this house from
sliding down the mountain and theres: a ADT sign, then a few feet over a Pro
1 sign, and just enough room for me to install my sign in a few years
:))))) - only I usually remove everyone else's sign.

It would be fair to say you're just under 300 pounds.....

You're lieing again Mr. BAss.

Let's see ..... was that 30 pounds under 300, or 29 pounds,
or 28 pounds, or 27 pounds, or 26 pounds, or 25 pounds.......

Sounds like another lie you write about.
How many years have you been in the business?

You lie Mr. BAss..... You Lie.......

You sure like that fraction. Didn't we hear the same thing about a drill
bit
just recently.


The force would be downward, not outward, with only a 1/2" insertion on 1
3/4" door. The best the perp could expect is to take a chunk out of the
door
and only if the shank of the screwdriver didn't bend upward first.


Have to break out the old slide rule for that line of BS there, Robert?

Have you ever seen a door open into the lock? BAHAHAHAHAHA....Do you know
how to spell Door Stop?? Stop Robert...I can't take it any more...I am LOL
until my side hurts. Why don't you drop the 4 online stores and do Stand
Up?
I don't think people would pay but you are hilarious.

Lets think about this for kicks and giggles. A safe room is probably...
what
6'X8'? Maybe 8'X10'? and you want someone to get to a 15mph sprint in that
distance. Riiiightttt! And why should they do this? To get out? Remember
the
door swings out. All they have to do is hit the rex button. Why take a
chance on injuring their shoulder? Next, a perp could take a 15mph run,
which is questionable inside any structure, at it and if the door is
installed properly, with or without a mag of any size most likely will
bounce off the door and land on his ass. Why, because, again Robert, the
door swings outward.
Your propensity to quickly jump in and cast your opinions vastly
outweights
your understanding of what you read. Your so easy, but keep it coming, if
for nothing more than kicks and giggles.

With a 1200 pound lock it would be significantly harder to
