Unidentified Remote Combination Viewer Vaults

[VaultDoors]

I actually DO own a bunker -I would recommend having an inward opening door which will allow you to exit when rubble and stuff could otherwise obstruct it's opening.

The interior door swings inward and the outer 'door' (3' beyond) is an armored shutter that retracts into the ceiling to create a Sally port. The interior door has a gun port

Ah but do you, like myself, have a 17th century cannon inside your front gate, defending against the Spanish or other pirates coming up the drive?

One King West has made their Safety Deposit Vault an interactive experience. They replaced the steel panel on the Remove Combination Viewer with plexiglass and added a placard near the RCV titled 'Take a Closer Look'. Unfortunately, the lettering is too small to read but I assume it describes the inner workings of the RCV and may even allow tourists to flip on the viewer light and spin the combo dials.

Here is a single photo showing the Cleveland Federal Reserve's vault door bolt-throwing door pins and jamb pins. The door pins appear to be 'pig nose' security bolts; perhaps the jamb pins are as well.

I do not :-(

I know (and can see ) the push pins you are referring to, but what are 'pig nosed' 'security bolts' that you're saying they appear to be?

The ends appear to be the same style as pig nose security bolts. These tamper resistant bolts have two indentations that require a special wrench; they are also known as 'two hole' bolts.

another name for that is Snake Eyed security screws/bolts

If you look closely there are two indentations on the glass door frame which leads me to believe a security bolt was also used there as well.

There is a ding on the door edge which appears to be caused by a collision with the extended (top) jamb push pin when closing the door.



If you look at the inside frame there is another ding which appears to be caused by a collision with the extended (top) door push pin when closing the door.



The One King West door and jamb have similar dings presumably caused by collisions with extended push pins when closing the door. I wonder if they forgot to include, 'retract all push pins before closing the door' in the operating procedures.

The Cleveland Federal Reserve door pins appear to be unprotected whereas the One King West door pins are protected with collars and the Capital Grille door pins are protected with blocks presumably for the same reason.



The One King West door pin collars appear to be added after original installation (screwed in) and the Capital Grille door pin blocks appear to part of the original installation as no attachment points are visible.
