What Is a Vault Room?

A vault room, also known as a safe room or panic room, is a secure space designed to withstand forced entry and protect occupants or stored items during emergencies. While vault rooms were once considered a luxury, today’s homeowners see them as a smart investment—providing a layer of defense against burglary, natural disasters, and even wildfires or tornadoes.

Vault rooms typically include:

  • Reinforced walls and ceilings (concrete, steel, and ballistifc or fire-rated panels)
  • Heavy-duty vault doors with advanced locking systems
  • Climate control and ventilation
  • Emergency supplies or long-term storage capacity

They can be designed for emergency shelter, gun and ammunition storage, family heirlooms, or even server and data protection.

Why Add a Vault Room to Your Home?

Here in Northern Colorado, homeowners face a unique mix of risks—from wildfires to high winds to long stretches without power. A vault room adds:

  • Peace of mind in case of break-ins or emergencies
  • A secure place for firearms or sensitive items
  • Increased home value and insurance benefits
  • A functional, multi-use space that doesn’t detract from your home’s design

Plus, if you're already doing a basement finish or home remodel, it's the perfect time to integrate a vault room seamlessly into the design.

We Supply and Install Vault Doors

The heart of any secure room is the vault door—and not all doors are created equal. We work with trusted manufacturers to supply and install vault doors rated for security, fire resistance, and long-term durability.

Our doors are available in a variety of finishes, sizes, and locking mechanisms, including:

  • Mechanical or digital keypad locks
  • EMP-resistant locks
  • 1/4" to 1/2" solid steel doors with multiple locking bolts
  • Optional internal release features for safety

We’ll help you choose a door that fits your security needs and budget, then install it with precision—ensuring it functions properly and integrates with the surrounding structure.

The Construction Process

Whether you're planning a new basement finish or retrofitting an existing room, we follow a structured process to ensure your vault room is built right the first time.

Here’s what to expect:

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a complimentary phone call to discuss your goals—whether you’re storing valuables, prepping for emergencies, or simply want a secure retreat.

2. Site Visit & Design

We’ll visit your home to assess space, structural conditions, and access. Then we help design a vault room layout that suits your needs. We'll review wall reinforcement, ventilation, lighting, and emergency access points.

3. Vault Door Selection

Based on your budget and security needs, we can recommend a vault door (or multiple options) from one of our trusted suppliers. We’ll handle ordering and logistics to ensure it arrives in time for installation.

4. Preconstruction Planning

Just like any of our basement or remodel projects, we enter a detailed preconstruction phase. We finalize the design, secure permits, and create a clear schedule. This step ensures smooth execution and prevents mid-project surprises.

5. Construction & Installation

Our licensed professionals reinforce walls, install HVAC or ventilation if needed, and carefully install the vault door. We also run electrical, lighting, and finish work as needed—whether you want a rugged, industrial feel or a polished, hidden space.

6. Final Walkthrough

We test all security features and make sure the vault room is ready for your use. As always, you’ll have access to our Buildertrend customer portal throughout the process to monitor updates, schedules, and budgets.

Integrated into Your Remodel

We’ve built vault rooms as part of:

  • Basement finishes (often behind custom cabinetry or hidden doors)
  • Closet renovations (secure gun or document storage)
  • Detached garages and workshops
  • Primary bedroom remodels (as hidden panic rooms)

Whether subtle or bold, we’ll tailor the room to your lifestyle and existing architecture.

Financing Options Available

We understand that a vault room is a serious investment—so we offer financing options for qualified homeowners. Spread out the cost while adding long-term safety and value to your home.
