Rhino Metals - Vault Door In-Swing (Ironworks) Series

Choose your configuration

Current Price $9,828.00
An in-swing vault door asks more of your opening than most people expect, and that is the place to start. The minimum rough opening is 82.75 by 39.5 inches and the wall has to measure between 6 and 9.5 inches thick. The door also swings into the room rather than out of it. This is the entry configuration in Rhino's vault door range. It is built around a full coverage quarter-inch steel core with a 10 gauge outer frame and a 90-minute rating.

Who This Safe Is Best For — and When to Consider More

Choose this model if:

Choose the in-swing door when your wall falls between 6 and 9.5 inches and the space outside the opening cannot be blocked. It fits when you want vault room access at the entry of the range and 90 minutes covers what the room will hold. Confirm your rough opening measures at least 82.75 by 39.5 inches before committing.

Best For:

You have a room or closet you want to convert and you are prepared to check the opening properly before ordering. Your wall falls between 6 and 9.5 inches thick and the space outside the opening is a corridor or landing you cannot block. You want vault room access at the entry point of the range rather than the top.

Not Ideal For:

If your wall is thicker than 9.5 inches, this door will not suit and the out-swing configuration handles up to 12.5. It is also wrong if the room is small enough that an inward swing eats the floor space you were planning to shelve. Buyers wanting the longest fire rating should look at the out-swing door.

What Makes the Vault Door In-Swing (Ironworks) Different

You can specify a UL listed mechanical dial or a UL listed electronic keypad. A ball bearing drill plate protects the lock and a spring-loaded relocker deadbolts the mechanism if the lock is punched. A tempered glass relocker adds a second independent trigger, firing a remote spring-loaded relocker if the glass breaks under attack. The patented anti-tamper clutched handle disengages under force rather than driving the boltwork.
The door measures 5.79 inches thick. It is 12 gauge formed steel around a full coverage quarter-inch steel core, with a 10 gauge outer door frame. Twenty-one doorbolts at 1.25 inches engage with three-sided protection, which is more bolts than the out-swing door carries. The frame is the part that differs most from the out-swing configuration, which uses quarter-inch steel there instead. Weight is 866 pounds.
The clamshell design closes the assembly around the rough opening rather than sitting inside it, which is how one door suits a range of wall thicknesses. Standard and reverse opening are both available, so the hinge side can follow the room. An internal release lets anyone inside open the door without the lock, and a panic room lock-in mechanism secures it from within. Those two together are what make a converted room usable as an occupied space.

The inside face is where this door does work a safe cannot. The internal release opens the door from within the room without the lock, and the panic room lock-in mechanism secures it deliberately from inside. Everything else about the room is yours to specify, since the door imposes no shelving or layout. An inward swing does cost floor space next to the opening, which is worth planning around before racking goes in.
The Ironworks finish is hand-applied, so the antiqued surface varies from door to door. Because a vault door sits in a wall you walk past daily, the finish is more visible than it would be on a basement safe. Wall thickness between 6 and 9.5 inches determines how the frame sits against the surrounding surface. The finish adds weight over the standard in-swing door without changing any protection specification.

Security Construction & Burglary Protection

Twenty-one doorbolts at 1.25 inches with three-sided protection engage the frame around the door, the highest bolt count Rhino builds anywhere. Behind the lock sit a ball bearing drill plate and two independent relockers, one spring-loaded and one triggered by tempered glass. The door itself is 12 gauge formed steel around a quarter-inch core. What the door cannot do is compensate for the walls around it, and framing is the first thing we assess on site.

Highlight

Certified Fire Protection & What It Means

Ninety minutes at 1400 degrees describes the door tested alone, and Rhino says plainly that real fire protection varies with installation and room construction. A dual intumescent seal swells with rising heat and closes the door gap. A room framed to ordinary residential standards will not deliver ninety minutes of room protection regardless of what the door achieves. That is the expectation worth setting before construction rather than after. We work through wall and ceiling assemblies with customers during the build.

Highlight

90 minutes at 1400 degrees with a dual intumescent seal, subject to how the surrounding room is built.

Lock Type & Access Options

The lock is a UL listed mechanical dial or a UL listed electronic keypad, and the hinge side can be specified standard or reverse. The internal release means nobody can be shut inside, which is a requirement in any room a person will enter rather than a convenience. The panic room lock-in mechanism works the other direction, securing the room from within. Households with children should work through both directions with us before installation.

Highlight

Internal release, panic room lock-in, standard or reverse opening, and a clamshell fit for 6 to 9.5 inch walls.

Interior Storage, Shelving & Organization

Living with an in-swing room means planning around the door arc. The swing takes floor space next to the opening that you cannot shelve, which is the trade for keeping the corridor outside clear. With the internal release in place, nobody can end up shut inside. Humidity is a room-scale problem rather than a container one, so ventilation is the answer rather than a dehumidifier in the corner.
The inside face is where this door does work a safe cannot. The internal release opens the door from within the room without the lock, and the panic room lock-in mechanism secures it deliberately from inside. Everything else about the room is yours to specify, since the door imposes no shelving or layout. An inward swing does cost floor space next to the opening, which is worth planning around before racking goes in.

Installation, Placement & Bolting Down

Installation planning often determines long-term satisfaction. The rough opening has to measure at least 82.75 by 39.5 inches and the wall must fall between 6 and 9.5 inches thick before the door arrives. We check the framing, the header and the delivery route on site, measuring doorway width and stair access between the entry and the room. Once the opening is ready we anchor the frame into the surrounding structure, which is what makes the door part of the wall.

One of the simplest ways to increase resistance is proper anchoring.

Highlight

We measure the opening before an order goes in, which is the difference between a clean install and an expensive surprise.

Is This Protection Level Enough for Your Situation?

First question: will it fit your opening

An in-swing vault door asks more of your opening than most people expect, and that is the place to start. The minimum rough opening is 82.75 by 39.5 inches and the wall has to measure between 6 and 9.5 inches thick. The door also swings into the room rather than out of it. This is the entry configuration in Rhino's vault door range. It is built around a full coverage quarter-inch steel core with a 10 gauge outer frame and a 90-minute rating.
Step Up If:The out-swing door adds a quarter-inch steel face and frame with thirty more minutes of fire rating, and it handles walls up to 12.5 inches. That becomes the right conversation if your framing allows an outward swing or if the room will hold irreplaceable originals. It is a configuration decision as much as a protection one.
More Than Needed If:If a large safe would hold what you own, buy the safe rather than building a room. A vault door commits you to construction, a header assessment and a permanent change to the house. Where the volume genuinely fits in a container, the container is the simpler answer and we say so regularly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the door frame really change how secure the door is?
More than the door thickness does, and it is where the two Rhino configurations differ. This one runs a 10 gauge outer frame while the out-swing uses quarter-inch steel. Since the doorbolts engage the frame, that is where a prying attack meets resistance. We point buyers at the frame spec before the door spec.
Will this fit a standard doorway in my house?
A standard interior doorway will not take it, since the minimum rough opening is 82.75 by 39.5 inches. The wall must also measure between 6 and 9.5 inches thick, ruling out ordinary partition framing. We measure before an order goes in, because this question decides everything else.
What is a relocker and when does it actually fire?
It is a backstop that deadbolts the boltwork if the lock is attacked. This door carries two: a spring-loaded relocker that fires if the lock is punched, and a tempered glass relocker triggering a remote deadbolt. We describe a relocker as insurance on the lock, not on the door.
How does an entry vault door differ from a high-specification one?
On this line it comes down to the frame and the fire rating rather than the bolt count. This door carries 21 doorbolts and a 10 gauge frame at 90 minutes, where the out-swing has fewer bolts, a quarter-inch frame and 120 minutes. We find buyers weight bolt count too heavily and frame steel not enough.
Should I be buying a room or just a bigger safe?
A room wins when what you store will not fit a container, or when the space is better used as a strongroom than a closet. At this price point that comparison is genuinely close. What we usually ask is whether you need to walk in, because that is the difference nobody regrets paying for.
