Make sure the fire-rating of your unit is stout. If your having a walk in built. You must have a ton of stuff.

Something to think about is heating and cooling the vault. By building code my builder had to drill two 5" holes at the top of the walls for ventilation. Since a big reason for the vault is fire protection this created a problem for me as fire can enter the vault through those openings. I removed the ductwork that went into the vault (for a/c and heating) and blocked one of holes with fireproof expanding foam. I have the other 5" hole open for now as I have not found a solution for it closing automatically doing a fire.
I have to question the walk in safe shown. What good is that big heavy steel door that cant be kicked in when a sledge hammer will get you into any of those wood framed walls. Looking at the door frame its obvious that the wood framed walls are covering a concrete block exterior. I could get into that safe with a good knife. that is unless im missing something.
