Abstract
Security vault to protect valuable items. The vault has a redundant number of members which combine to deter the entry and subsequent attempted damage to or destruction of the vault. A body has an open end which is surrounded by a strength band connected to the body. A recess is defined between the strength band and the open end of the body. A door to the vault has open and closed positions and, in the closed position, an edge extension of the door enters into the recess. Rod loops are connected between the body and the strength band and act as locking members for complementary pawls which are mounted on the interior of the door.
