At American Security, we’re proud to introduce our newest line of high-security vault doors, the ProFit Series, crafted specifically for the residential market. While we’ve offered vault doors before, the ProFit Series takes innovation to the next level with advanced, thoughtfully engineered features that redefine how vault doors are installed and used. In this article, we’ll highlight what makes the ProFit different and explore why it may be the ideal solution for protecting what matters most.
What’s Different About the ProFit Vault Doors?
What makes the ProFit truly unique are the features built into its design. Let’s take a closer look at some of the standouts.
Features Configurable to Your Needs
The ProFit vault door is completely configurable to fit your various needs, including the door swing direction (inwards or outwards). In case of an emergency, you might want the door to swing inwards to make it easier to exit the vault in case debris is blocking the door from swinging outwards. This door also gives the option to make the handle for right or left-handed users.
For panic room use cases, ProFit vault doors are specifically designed so that users can effectively secure themselves inside even if the external lock combination is entered. There’s also an emergency release system in place for instances where a user experiences an accidental lock-in, guaranteeing a safe exit for individuals.
A vault door is a prominent feature in a home, so you may also want to ensure that it aesthetically complements your environment. That’s why we offer a wide range of colors and finishes (textured or high gloss) to choose from. If you have a specific look in mind, we can also help create a custom color if that’s a high priority for you.
High Quality Steel & Fire-Resistant Fill Material for Top Level Security
The materials can make or break a vault door, which is where American Security focuses most of its attention and only uses the best of the best. The ProFit vault doors are filled with AMSEC’s proprietary DryLight fire-resistant material, which is an industry-leading composite insulation that helps your door last significantly longer in a fire compared to other alternatives. In addition to this fill material, ProFits feature heat-activated Palusol door seals that activate in extreme conditions to further safeguard valuables from fire and smoke.
All ProFit doors are also built with a 0.5” thick solid steel plate front and an 11-gauge (11GA) steel frame. These vault doors can fit walls that range from 6” to 20” in thickness. Other important material components include 6 chrome-plated 1.5” diameter locking bolts.
Manufactured in the USA
The ProFit is crafted in the USA, which allows us to focus on the quality of the materials, design, and construction of the doors to ensure that they’re held to high standards for security and fire protection.
Low-Profile Threshold
We wanted to make sure that everyone can easily access and use our ProFit vault doors, so to achieve this, we designed the model to be ADA-friendly, offering trip-free access for users, which is especially important for those who plan on installing this as a security/panic room.
Easiest Vault Door to Install
The ProFit vault door stands out for its incredibly simple installation and maintenance process. Our modular design allows technicians to set up your vault door quickly and efficiently, saving you time and hassle during installation.
When service is needed, technicians can access the service panel directly without taking apart the entire door. This means faster repairs and less disruption to your home.
Here’s the best part: the ProFit vault door is built for reliability. While we’ve designed it for easy maintenance access, you’ll rarely need it. The robust construction means fewer service calls and more peace of mind.
Why You Might Need a Vault Door
There are a couple of reasons why a vault door might be the perfect solution for your security needs. We’ve briefly mentioned some cases, but let’s dig into the details.
Security Vault for Valuables
The most obvious use case is a security vault. You might have a large collection of irreplaceable items, firearms, artwork, collectables, etc., that a regular safe might not provide ample space for, especially if you plan on expanding in the future.
If you’re living in a home you plan on staying in for a while, it could be worth it to invest in a vault door instead of outgrowing safes year after year and requiring an upgrade. You can make it the ultimate upgrade and make your investment last longer with a vault door that transforms an entire room into a secure vault.
Panic Room or Storm Shelters
If your home doesn’t have a secure space for emergencies, a vault door can help provide a safe haven for your family during intrusions or severe storms.
AMSEC’s ProFit vault door is constructed from high-strength materials designed to withstand forced entry and extreme weather, offering top-tier protection. Its inward-swing design also allows for a clear exit, even if debris blocks the doorway, making it a reliable and practical safety solution.
As we mentioned, the ProFit vault door includes an emergency release system, allowing occupants to exit safely from the inside in the event of an accidental lock-in. This feature ensures that safety and accessibility are never compromised, giving homeowners the confidence that their family is fully protected in any situation.
The Benefits of a Residential Vault Door
Now that we’ve covered common use cases, let’s explore the advantages of investing in a high-quality vault door like AMSEC’s ProFit.
Spacious Security
A vault door transforms an entire room into a secure space, giving you far more room to protect valuables than a standard safe. We recommend consulting with a local security professional or contractor for the construction of the rest of the room. Beyond its impressive size, the ProFit is built to resist forced entry and is layered with American Security’s proprietary fire-resistant composite, providing robust protection against both theft and fire.
Quick Installation
Although professional installation is recommended, the ProFit’s modular design makes it one of the easiest vault doors to configure on the market. Technicians can install it efficiently, and its simple construction makes maintenance and servicing straightforward.
Luxury Appeal
The ProFit combines security with style. Homeowners can choose from a variety of colors and finishes to ensure the vault door complements their home’s design. And if you have a specific shade in mind, AMSEC can also help create a custom finish tailored to your aesthetic.
Flexible Placement
Unlike traditional safes, which often require discreet placement and limited space, a vault door allows you to secure an entire room. This flexibility provides more space for valuables and enables you to design a secure area that fits seamlessly into your home layout. In order to secure the remainder of the room (walls, ceiling, and floor), contact your local contractor.
Durable Construction
Built from high-quality, thick steel and equipped with robust security features, the ProFit vault door offers a formidable barrier against unauthorized access. Its durability ensures long-lasting protection for both your family and your most prized possessions.
