    This may be an optical illusion but the vault door appears to be a lot thicker/deeper than the door frame/wall thickness...

    Also, I do not see and bolt marks where they extended and rest against the interior frame. It almost looks like this is a transplanted door and grille from a former bank to someone's man cave. Not what I would expect from a typical bank installation from the early 1900's.

    The red arrow points to where the locking bolts lock into the frame. The day gate is always been there as far as I know. The ramp is down in this picture so the door can't close. TJ
