Williamson County Safe Room Doors

A safe room is a place your family can reach in seconds and an intruder cannot reach in minutes.

We install quarter-inch steel plate doors on an interior room you choose: a master closet, a pantry, a home office. The door swings in, so nothing outside the room can block it. Three three-quarter-inch sliding deadbolts throw into a steel frame anchored to the studs or the slab.

What the door does and does not do

What the door does: puts a steel barrier between your family and whoever is in the house, with a lock nobody can pick from outside. It does not make the room a certified storm shelter; walls, ceiling, and anchoring decide that, and we will tell you plainly what your room is and is not.

Choosing the room

Your Stronghold Report will identify the right room, the phone and lighting it needs, and whether the wall behind the door frame can carry it.

Questions we get about this

How much does a safe room door cost?

Installed safe room doors are quoted after the assessment and depend on the size of the opening, the wall construction, and the anchoring required. The door alone weighs several hundred pounds.

Is this a tornado shelter?

No. A storm shelter has to be built and tested as a whole assembly to FEMA P-361 and ICC 500, with a third-party label. A safe room door on an ordinary closet is an intruder barrier, and that is how we describe it.

Can it be locked from outside?

It is designed to be secured from inside. We stock a wide range of upgrades and finishes so the door reads as part of the house rather than something bolted into it.
