Why Fort Knox Vaults Set the Gold Standard in Steel Body Thickness
When it comes to protecting what you’ve worked so hard for, not all safes are created equal. If you’re looking for a vault that goes beyond the average and delivers uncompromising security, you need more than just a heavy box—you need Fort Knox.
Every Fort Knox safe and vault door is proudly crafted in the USA using thick, high-quality, American-made steel. But why does that matter? Because when you're safeguarding valuables, firearms, or irreplaceable assets, the strength and integrity of your safe’s construction determine its ability to withstand threats—whether that’s burglars, fire, or natural disasters.
What Makes Fort Knox Safes Different?
Many safes on the market are built using thinner steel or bolt-together construction, leaving vulnerabilities that can be exploited. Fort Knox takes a different approach—starting with thick steel sheets that are machine-folded to minimize joints. The remaining seams are fully welded inside and out with 100% weld penetration, ensuring a seamless, solid steel enclosure. This means no weak points, no shortcuts—just elite-level security.
What is Overall Steel Body Thickness?
A safe’s body thickness isn’t just about the exterior steel—it’s the combined thickness of the outer shell and inner steel liners. For example, the Titan Series features a 3/16” outer steel body combined with a 3/16” Armor Knox AR-500 liner, giving you a total body thickness of ⅜” of steel protection—far beyond industry standards.
Can You Upgrade Your Steel Thickness? Absolutely.
Unlike mass-produced safes that lock you into one-size-fits-all security, Fort Knox lets you customize, upgrade, and personalize your safe to meet your specific security needs. Want maximum protection? You can add up to ½” of additional torch-resistant stainless steel for extreme durability. You can also:
✅ Upgrade to a 7-gauge Ballistic Armor Knox AR-500
✅ Layer up to 4 sheets of 10-gauge carbon steel
✅ Mix and match different steel thicknesses for ultimate protection
This level of customization ensures your safe is built to withstand whatever comes its way, giving you complete peace of mind that your most valuable assets are protected by an impenetrable fortress.
Luxury-Level Security for Those Who Demand the Best
If you’re a business owner, CEO, high-net-worth individual, or someone who simply refuses to settle for second best, Fort Knox safes offer a level of security that is unmatched in the industry.
