I have been fortunate enough to have my last two homes built for me. In each I had a reinforced concrete vault constructed and the house built around it. The first vault had a door salvaged from a jewelry store in Odessa, TX. That was a chore hauling that heavy son-of-a-gun back to El Paso and setting it up. My current vault has a door I purchased from the Ft. Knox Safe Co. It is insulated and fire-rated with a 1-inch thick steel door front, twenty-four 1 3/8” stainless locking bolts with 4 additional bolts of the same dimension at the corners and a Sargent & Greenleaf combination lock. The total cost was roughly the same as three years of insurance premiums would have cost. Fourteen years later it makes it a pretty good investment.
