This shows the inside of a door in an above ground Safe Room. This door has a 3 pin quick latch slide inside the shelter and also a heavy duty deadbolt lock. We can build the quick where you can open and close the door from the inside or the outside. We can also build it where the quick latch only works from the inside.	You can see the ¾” pin that you drop behind the quick latch. Once this is in place, no one can open the door from the outside even if it has the access slide outside. This pin also keeps debris from knocking the slide open even with the outside access slide. The deadbolt can be locked or unlocked from the outside only with the key. It can be unlocked from the inside with the thumb bolt (without a key).	Small above ground safe room with insulation being added. You can see vent pipe at the top of the shelter with a slide to close off when you are running air conditioner.	You can see the breaker box and plug in (middle right of photo). Once the insulation is in place, we install the paneling as shown.

Small Shelter in Oklahoma. The shelter has two doors. This will be in a carport.	This shelter took a direct hit from hurricane Katrina. The 150-160 mile per hour winds with the eye wall, passed over this shelter. Didn't even scratch it.	This above ground Safe Room was installed in Texas in 2009. The dirt will be put about halfway up the sides and back at a later date. We put wings to keep the dirt from washing around in front of the shelter. You can see the vault door, porch, window, turbines, and fins on this end.	This is the back of the above ground Safe Room. You have an emergency escape hatch on top with ladder steps inside and outside to get out in case front door is blocked. Inside the emergency escape hatch, you have a door jack rated for 8 tons to lift the door in case debris is blown on top of the door.
