Fort Knox Vault Door – In-Swing
Discreet, Storm-Ready Protection
The Fort Knox In-Swing Vault Door is engineered for those who want to protect an entire room without sacrificing interior space. Commonly used for panic rooms, storm shelters, and concealed vault rooms, the in-swing design allows the door to open into the room—ideal for locations where outward swing is not an option or where stealth is key.
Built with 3/16” steel frame construction, a 5/8” reinforced door edge, and up to 26 locking bolts, the in-swing vault door delivers serious security in a refined, space-conscious format. Choose from four sizes to fit your rough opening, with left- or right-swing options available to match your layout.
Why Choose an In-Swing Vault Door?
- Optimized for Panic Rooms and Storm Shelters: Inward opening ensures access even if debris or attackers block the outside of the door.
- Space-Saving Entry: Opens inward to preserve hallway or common area clearance.
- 3/16” Frame + 5/8” Door Edge: Durable steel construction resists prying and blunt force.
- 19–26 Solid Locking Bolts: Perimeter locking design secures the entire door edge under attack.
- Swing Direction Options: Left- or right-swing available (based on hinge side when facing the door from outside).
What’s Included
- Pull Handle: Standard for all in-swing models
- Hinge Caps: Clean exterior finish with capped external hinge design
- Limited Lifetime Warranty: Covers break-in and attempted break-in

Delivery & Installation
Many big box stores only offer curbside delivery. In theory, this can seem like a really affordable option. After all, a few buddies, a case of beer, and a heavy-duty project is a great combination — right?
