Quick answer:<\/strong> Before you build a vault room in Saudi Arabia, decide four things: what you are protecting, the EN 1143-1 burglary-resistance grade your insurer or regulator requires, how the walls will be built (poured concrete or modular armoured panels), and what goes inside. For cash rooms, panic rooms and private strongrooms, a Grade I door such as the Valberg EVD 1<\/a> is usually enough. For jewellers, corporate cash vaults and high-value stock, the Grade V Valberg AVD 5<\/a> is the step up. Banks typically specify Grade VII or higher. Finloyd designs, supplies and builds the complete vault room<\/a> in Riyadh, Jeddah and Al Khobar.<\/p>\n\n

A vault door is only as strong as the room around it. The most common mistake is buying a heavy door first and thinking about the walls, floor and ceiling later. Start with the risk, then the grade, then the room, and choose the door last.<\/p>\n\n

Your insurer has the final say. Ask them which EN 1143-1 grade they require for the value you will store before you design anything.<\/p>\n\n

2. Understand EN 1143-1 grades<\/h2>\n

EN 1143-1 is the European standard for burglary-resistant safes, strongroom doors and strongrooms. A certified product has been attacked in a laboratory with hand tools, power tools and cutting equipment, and given a grade according to how much resistance it showed. Higher grades resist longer and more powerful attacks. The grade is a tested result, not a description of how thick the steel looks, which is why insurers and banks ask for it by number.<\/p>\n

The door and the room must be built to the same grade. A Grade V door set into an ordinary block wall gives you a Grade V door and an unprotected room.<\/p>\n\n

3. Choose the door: Valberg EVD 1 or AVD 5<\/h2>\n\n\n

For bank vaults that need Grade VII or higher, Finloyd scopes the door with the room as a single project. Projects under US-influenced tenders can also be offered with doors certified to UL 608, UL 887 and UL 768.<\/p>\n\n
