Dark Gray And Black Paint
Sturdy Safe's semi gloss paint is laid on thick and is twice as durable as auto motive finishes. It's also easy to touch up with little notice. >Read More
Hardened Hardplate
Our drill punch resistant Hardplate is hardened to the extreme by another facility, and then free floating instead of welded on to not degrade its strength. It's backed by our relocker for additional security from drill entries. >Read More
Patented Pressure Activated Relocker
Our Relocker is not sensitive glass or spring. It's pressure activated so it will only fire when someone is putting a lot of pressure on it. You can slam the door and never worry about being locked out by accident. Glass or spring Relockers cannot do this. >Read More
Group 2 Model 6730 Combination Lock
Our spin dials are commercial grade quality, key changeable and easy to read black with white numbers. >Read More
Damage Resistant Linkage
Unlike our competitors, Sturdy's linkage is so strong problematic clutches and shear pins are not necessary. These parts are designed to break when force is applied, so you would need to baby their vault or get locked out. >Read More
Combination Deadbolt Reinforcement
We do not want to rely on the strength of a combination box for the needed strength in the lock system, like most manufacturers do. This adds about 16,000 pounds of resistance, which helps make our vaults be the most durable, abusive-resistant vault on the market. >Read More
Commercial Quality / Free Of Servicing
Sturdy's linkage will never need to be serviced, nor will it break, even with years of abuse. We offer a lifetime of linkage warranty coverage to back up this claim. >Read More
Exposed Hinges
Unlike hidden hinges, exposed hinges allow the vault door to be accidentally slammed open without damaging the hinges, as well as being able to open a full 180 degrees. >Read More

Packages

What comes standard:
- 3/8" Door
- 8x12" Stainless Upgrade
These are the most popular options customers order. It's the perfect package for the customer who wants to stop a high powered tool (ex: grinders, sawsalls) from breaching the vault longer. Comes with a 8x12" Stainless Upgrade that is 3/16" thick, which protects the heart of the lock system from any high power tool attack by covering: the combo box area, hard plate, relock and striker (which is the primary piece of linkage being locked out). Since this plate is on the exterior of the door, it adds to the commercial look of the vault which customers really enjoy and burglars question.

What comes standard:

The more steel, the better. Perfect for the customer who wants to add to the break in time required with high power tools in the areas it matters most. Comes with the 8x12" Stainless Upgrade as mentioned above. The entire 3/8" plate door will be covered in a 3/16" plate, bringing the total door thickness to 9/16".

Torch attacks happen and when they do you will be ready with the full coverage of this 3/16" thick stainless steel plate . Adds about 4x the break in time with any high power tool. Comes with the 8x12" Stainless Upgrade. One layer of 3/16" Stainless performs like 9/16" non stainless. It's the ultimate in security for torch resistance (or any other cutting tool), without all the weight of resorting to a cement filled vault.
Mounting/General Info
Rough Opening
Make your opening a minimum of 5/8" to 3/4" (total) extra room from side to side and 1/2" extra room from top to bottom. Make it a 1/4" larger than that if you do not have much faith in your cement guy. If you ordered a custom sized vault door from our website for a preexisting opening, we automatically reduce the vault to meet your rough opening dimension. When mounted, and the door open, figure a minimum of 9/16" worth of clearance from the bottom of the door, to the floor, so keep in mind the thickness of your carpet, tile, etc, to determine if you need to create more of a threshold.
What You Need to Purchase
For standard size vault doors, purchase 10 anchors that are 1/2" to 5/8" in diameter and 3-4" in length. Custom sized vaults will have a different amount depending on the size purchased. You will also need to purchase high PSI mortar, shims, sledge hammer, roto hammer drill and wedging blocks.
General Mounting Info
If you purchased a Panic Button, make sure it's disengaged (pulled out) while installing. Only engage it when you want to lock yourself inside. You are basically hanging it like any pre-hung door, with the exception that it's too heavy to shift around as easy. It allows total adjustment of the frame to match the hang attitude of the door. There are no flanges, so you can recess the door as far in the opening as your opening depth will allow. Here is a forum where a customer shows how he built his vault room and talks about how he installed his Sturdy Vault.
WARNING!- OUR VAULT DOORS SHOULD NOT BE LEFT OPEN, OR UNLOCKED, WITH CHILDREN UNATTENDED. THIS IS A COMMERCIAL VAULT DOOR AND OUR TOLERANCES ARE VERY TIGHT, WHICH WILL PINCH FINGERS OFF.

Extras

Fire Liner

PANIC BUTTON
This will allow you to lock yourself inside the vault with the push of a palm button as you would need for a panic room. Pulling the button unlocks. With the push button engaged it is impossible to spin the dial from the outside, thus preventing anyone from locking you inside. If you did not engage the push button and someone was to lock you in by spinning the dial on the outside (which is a very purposeful act) it would require 3 minutes of work and a couple of basic tools to get out.
Twin Lock System- One Spin, One Electronic
Two separate and complete locking systems that force locksmiths to breach two dials instead of just one. Both dials need to be in working condition in order to get in. One dial does not override the other. The first dial is the original spin dial (S&G group 2 model 6730 in black) that comes with the safe and the other dial is the Electronic Lock (S&G D-Drive) This option has additional benefits such as ease of access (by leaving the spin dial in the unlocked position and just using the electronic to get it). The electronic will have a 2 year warranty. Beyond the 2 year period we void the warranty wherever we state we will cover the locksmith entry and replacement dial. However, we will still honor the rest of the warranty.

Twin Lock System- Two Spin Dials
Two separate and complete locking systems that force a locksmith entry to breach two dials instead of just one. Both spin dials need to be in working condition in order to get in, and are S&G group 2 model 6730 (in the easy read black). One dial does not override the other.
D-Drive Electronic Lock
These type 1 electronic dials by S&G have less moving parts and boast a longer lifespan. Fewer parts = less potential to break. Even though they will last longer, we still recommend electronic locks to be used for people who have a hard time seeing the numbers on standard dials, because, like most electronic devices, they are not made to last forever. THIS OPTION DOES AFFECT THE WARRANTY! These are warranted for two years including locksmith entries. Once you are past the two year period, the portion of the warranty where we state we will cover locksmith entries is then voided.

Gold Hardware
Add instant class to your color changed safe by switching the handle, dial and decals to gold. Perfect for those searching for beauty and brawn.

Key In Dial
This is not to be used as a quick access into the safe! It's strictly used to lock the use of the dial by anybody who has the combination to prevent entry.These cannot be put on electronic locks.

Locksmith Resistant Hard Plate Upgrade
A hard plate comes standard with every Sturdy Safe however, this option is designed to keep locksmiths out. It's a diamond/carbide bit resistant machine tool pin hard plate that is as hard as ball bearings. It protects the primary linkage being locked out all the way to its source. Odds are very high a locksmith would need to destroy the safe to gain access. For this option you would need to believe a burglar is smart enough to know locksmith entries, which has never happened in our whole history. THIS VOIDS A SMALL PART OF THE LIFETIME WARRANTY by requiring the home owner to pay for the locksmith entry, if ever one is needed.
Extra Lifetime Warranty
To better understand what this warranty will cover, you should know what the standard warranty covers first: We will fix or replace the vault for free if it was burglarized, in a fire (for a fire lined vault), or if the safe is malfunctioning in anyway, shape or form. When it comes to the malfunctioning or fire, we will cover shipping (back and forth) as well as locksmith entries if needed. When it comes to the burglary, you would need to pay for shipping and locksmith entry, unless you get this extra warranty.>Read More
Finishes

Dark Gray and Black Speckle
This is the new color that comes standard. It blends in best for the majority of rooms and garages. This speckled semi gloss enamel color changes look amazing. Because of the speckle it's easy to touch up without noticing and it doesn't shows smudges so cleaning the safe will not be needed as much as solid color changes.

Matte Black and Gloss Black Speckle
Solid black is boring so we brought on the speckling with a matte and gloss black combo. This speckled semi gloss enamel color looks amazing.
