    Neither of those tragedies strike me as 'music', or a 'safe'

    And it isn't even Hollywood.

    In Agatha Christie's Poirot is a episode where somebody is locked in in a bank vault, but they didn't use a real one but built a fake one for this.

    Actually it was Father Brown S3E10 The Judgement Of Man.

    But in Agatha Christie's Poirot S3E3 The Million Dollar Bond Robbery was the inside of a bank vault.

    There is a Poirot where someone is locked in a vault, but I am not sure that it was a bank vault- more a sort of a book safe type. I don't remember which story it was, though.

    Speaking of front doors, this is the side entrance to Tobacco Alley of Midland, Texas:

    A while back there was mention of the movie Ocean's 8 and a vault door at 120 Broadway in New York City. It turns out that Cartier had a smaller replica built to celebrate and promote their involvement in the movie -

    As far as prop doors go, it's quite good. Here's a closeup of the door itself -

    It's a very good representation of the Strauss mechanism except the central round portion appears to be completely see-through. Overall I'd still give it an A+.
