Thor III Vault Door Options

Emergency Inside Release This option is an exclusive in the American market. Underwriters Laboratories has approved the door design including an optional inside emergency release, reducing fears of being locked inside the vault. After an incident in 2000, when a bank employee was killed while locked inside a vault, this option may prove to be prudent. The emergency inside release option has been provided in locations where local building officials have demanded this option be made available. It is our understanding that this will be a requirement in some states in the near future.	Alarm wrap embedded in core of door Multiple circuits enhance the built in thermostat to create an early warning of an attempt to attack the integrity of the door, prior to a rise in heat. This provides protection from drill and core drill attacks. This feature will not only limit damage to the door, but provide an unwelcome alarm for burglars. Circuits may be tied into any alarm for additional protection.
Optional vestibule sizes Standard size is prepared for a 12" wall allowing adequate room for the contractor to install drywall under the finished trim with door steel set properly. This information must be available to the installer prior to setting the panels and the door. Optional sizes are available to meet customer needs, please allow for additional manufacturing time. An optional panel "door collar" is available to work with the standard 12" vestibule. The "door collar" allows the door to be installed flush with the inside vault wall.	In Door Telephone Located behind a service door, the phone may be tied into the local network or to a dedicated circuit. The use of a dedicated, separate circuit is recommended together with the elimination of the call bell. This eliminates any possibility of false alarms caused by a misdirected phone call to the vault when the vault is locked.
Custom Sizes The Thor III doors may be ordered in custom configurations that include expanding width, height and depth of wall. This feature is beneficial where there is a need to provide vault access to carts, forklifts and handicap access. In addition, the increased size may be used as a focal point for the customer. Smaller sized doors are also available; these may be used as emergency doors or to fit a restricted location.	Hydraulic Operation Any Thor III door may be equipped to open under hydraulic power. This may be of benefit for the handicapped and to enhance the overall image of security.
Ramps Door ramps may be necessary when a vault with six panel sides is requested. These ramps may be built by the general contractor or provided in steel by VSI. A.D.A. requirements must be considered.	Bedplate A bedplate for the vault door is required when a lightweight vault is used. The bedplate is welded to the panels to provide a secure and stable footing for the vault door.
Day Gate Options A clear acrylic day gate is standard with the Thor III Vault Door. This may be ordered in a gray or brown "smoke" finish at additional cost. A stainless steel, rod style day gate is also available at additional cost. Both the acrylic and stainless steel rod style day gates may be sold separately and in custom sizes. Split gates � "Dutch door" style, sliding and industrial wire mesh gates are also available in custom sizes to meet the customer needs.	Lock Options Various lock options are available and include electronic time locks. The standard time lock is manufactured by Ilco-Unican however other manufacturers locks are available. Two Mechanical Group 1 combination locks, manufactured by La Gard are standard. A third combination lock may be added. A key lock may also be added. Other manufacturers locks are available.

Water Seals

Neoprene
A neoprene seal fastened to the door creates a seal when the door is in the closed position. The seal is butted in the corners. This seal will greatly reduce the passage of dust and will reduce the flow of water, but will not eliminate it.
Molded Neoprene
This seal is corner molded and fastened to the door. The seal is created when the door is in the closed position. This seal will virtually eliminate the passage of dust and will greatly reduce the flow of water, but will not eliminate it.
Pneumatic Inflated
This seal is fastened to the door and is automatically inflated with nitrogen when the door is closed. Nitrogen is used to maintain the integrity of the seal. The use of oxygen is discouraged, as it will cause corrosion and deteriorate the seal over time. This sealing system will eliminate the passage of dust and resist a 12" head of water for 48 hours.
