That does look a lot like One King West. Here's the Jumper image along with another image, note the details of the day gate like the shape of the latch handle.

Looks like they went to a fair bit of trouble to produce realistic looking Diebold doors in aluminium

These were built for the 1995 movie Heat.

I enjoyed the movie The Italian Job where they break into the safe, old school way how they just listen to the dial and try to break it open it that way. Can you actually break into like that now of days? Because that seems crazy how she did it. It was just really exciting and good movie.

It is a skill that takes a great deal of practice. Once one learns it is something that some can open almost any safe with. But there are many systems out there that help prevent or slow this skill. In the trade there are few that can do this well. I know of 5 (in the USA) myself that can do it. I have taken classes and know what it takes but I am not good at it.

I like the way they labeled the vault THE VAULT in case people are confused. Inside is the "visitor experience" which includes a rectangular door behind which is the formula (which of course is not believable):

But overall I feel these two doors are fairly well done for being fakes. Somebody spent time looking at real doors before concocting these fabrications.

This is very true. It almost makes you wonder, considering how much money and time must have spent on it, if it might have just been easier to find and install a couple of real redundant vault doors...
