Juliette,

Browning (the gun manufacturer) sells gun vaults and vault doors.  Take a
look at this website address,
http://www.browning.com/products/catalog/safes/vault_door.htm, for
information.  Also, if you are affiliated with some level of government,
you can get a discount off the suggested retail price.

Best of luck,

Tim

Hi all,

Our institution, a historic house museum, is looking to purchase or have
built some sort of vault for the storage of silver and other
environmentally
compatible valuables.  It would go in our off-site storage facility.  I
picture it either as a walk-in with a couple aisles and shelving along
center and outside, or as 2-3 freestanding cabinets with locking doors.  We
would like the cabinets to provide an aadded level of security as well as
environmental control.  We need a shelving capacity of approximately 150
square feet.

Questions:  Does anyone have any experience in buying or designing such
enclosures?  Any things I should take care to avoid?  Any preference
between
custom-built walk-ins, and pre-fab modules?  Any leads on good places to
order such things?

Many thanks in advance for your help,

Juliette Rogers
