Finloyd supplies two certified vault door grades in Saudi Arabia — nothing in between. Which one your project needs comes down to what you’re protecting and what your insurer requires, not a preference for “more secure.” Here’s how the two compare, and when the answer isn’t a door at all but a fully custom vault room.
Valberg EVD 1 — Grade I
The lighter-duty option, built for cash rooms, panic rooms, and general secure enclosures rather than full bank vaults.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Burglary resistance | EN 1143-1, Grade I |
| Weight | ~188–204 kg |
| Free clearance | 2000 × 900 mm |
| Locking | Dual system — Electronic Lock (EL) + Key Lock (KL) |
| Opening | External hinges, 180° outward |
| Wall type | Concrete |
| Emergency release | Available on request |
Typical applications: bank cash rooms, panic rooms, gun rooms, document vaults where Grade I cover satisfies the insurer’s requirement.
Valberg AVD 5 — Grade V
The upper tier, built for full bank vaults, jewelry vaults, and high-value institutional storage.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Burglary resistance | EN 1143-1, Grade V |
| Weight | 800 kg |
| External dimensions | 2019 mm (H) × 1227 mm (W) × 240 mm (D) |
| Locking | 2 × Class B standard; key, mechanical, or electronic |
| Opening | Internal hinges, full 180° |
| Wall type | Concrete |
| Emergency door | Optional |
Typical applications: bank reserves, jewelry stock, corporate confidential asset storage, high-net-worth private vaults.
How to Decide Between Them
The grade isn’t a design preference — it’s set by the cash or asset cover your insurer requires. Confirm that figure in writing before finalizing your drawings:
- Lower cash/asset cover requirement → EVD 1 is typically sufficient, at roughly a quarter of the AVD 5’s weight, meaning lighter structural demands on the wall.
- Higher cash/asset cover requirement → AVD 5 is the appropriate grade, with 800 kg of armored steel and dual Class B locking as standard.
Both doors are engineered for concrete-wall installation — wall thickness and reinforcement must be confirmed against the door’s frame depth before construction, not after.
When You Need More Than a Door: Custom Vault Rooms
Neither the EVD 1 nor the AVD 5 is sold as a standalone unit for most institutional projects — the door is only as strong as the room around it. If your project needs structural reinforcement, custom interior fit-out, or integration with alarms, CCTV, and access control, that’s a Walk-In Safe & Custom Vault Room build, covering:
- Structural reinforcement of walls, floor, and ceiling matched to the door’s grade
- Custom interior fit-out — shelving, cash drawers, safe deposit boxes, lighting, ventilation, humidity control
- Integrated intrusion alarms, CCTV, and biometric or digital access control
FAQ
What’s the difference between the EVD 1 and AVD 5?
The EVD 1 is a Grade I door (~188–204 kg) for cash rooms and panic rooms. The AVD 5 is a Grade V door (800 kg) for full bank vaults and high-value institutional storage. The correct grade is determined by the insurer’s required cash/asset cover, not general preference.
Does Finloyd offer a grade between I and V?
No — Finloyd currently supplies these two certified grades. Projects requiring an intermediate specification should discuss requirements directly with Finloyd’s team to confirm the best fit.
Can I buy just the door, or do I need a full vault room?
Both doors can be installed into an existing reinforced wall. For new builds or projects needing structural reinforcement, custom interior fit-out, or integrated security systems, a full custom vault room build is the appropriate scope.
Which cities does Finloyd serve for vault door installation?
Riyadh, Jeddah, and Al Khobar, with nationwide project delivery across Saudi Arabia.
