Cerberus Vaults & Doors

Protection against physical attack tools and ballistic weapons

A secure refuge during burglaries or attacks, providing protection for occupants while notifying authorities for immediate assistance.

First and foremost, our mission is to deliver Physical Security to protect people, assets and the most prized possessions of our clients.

Cerberus Vaults & Doors are equipped with various security features to ensure the utmost protection.

Cerberus Vault is a secure, often hidden, room in a building designed to protect its occupants in the event of a break-in, home invasion, or other emergency situations. Our rooms are reinforced with strong materials, equipped with emergency communication tools, and are designed to keep individuals safe until help arrives or the danger has passed. Panic rooms can vary in size and features but are often used in high-risk environments or by individuals seeking extra security.

Cerberus is a modular vault system that has been developed to re-enforce existing buildings with a proven and standardised security level according to EN114341.

It has been designed in such a way that it is possible to de-mount the room and re-erect it at another site.

Each room is built to order according to the individual size and security requirements of the client. 

Rooms may be 5 or 6 sided but, only 6 sided rooms can be certified.

Modular design

Cerberus vaults are characterised by an optimal price/performance ratio. The required security level is achieved by combining cast concrete with intelligent armouring systems, resulting in thin walls and relatively low weights and costs.

General product description

The room is delivered in separate panels (sometimes also referred to as elements or, modules) that are assembled together onsite to form a complete room.

Panels are pushed together, interlocked and then welded together from the inside. Panels are built in different widths from 100mm to 1500mm. Panels are made from a profiled steel body, reinforced with special armouring and filled with an ultra-high density concrete. This guarantees long lasting quality and security.

The vault panels are painted steel inside and bare concrete outside. The outside walls will usually require plastering or cladding by others.

If the span of the ceiling is too large (usually over 3.5-4m) then steel girders are used to bear the load of the roof panels. The size of the girders is dependent on the statistical details of each room.

In the case that a 5 sided vault is chosen, the wall panels are fixed to the existing building floor by an L shaped steel bracket. This is welded to the wall panels and bolted to the building floor.

Each room is also supplied with a door of the same security level.

10 Steps to your Individual Vault Room

1 – Clarification of requirements

In order to offer your valuables the best possible protection, it is important to clarify your individual security protection requirements with your insurance company, security consultant, Home Office or Police liason officer.

2 – Clarifiaction of the space

The location of your vault, weight and access restrictions, its contents and access requirements will all be discussed to agree the size
of your vault room.

3 – Door and access

Who, how and when will access be required will then dictate the size of your door, whether you need a day gate and what locking you require.

4 – Optional Extras

Alarm & cctv, electrics, ventilation and decorations/finish should all be discussed.

5 – Cost estimate

Once the first steps have been completed, a cost estimate for the entire project is drawn up, usually within 48-72 hours.,

6 – Detailed planning

The initial concept is followed by the detailed planning of the vault. Every detail is taken into account by our planning team in order to meet your requirements.

7 – Production and delivery date

The next step is to schedule the production process. Aspects such as the delivery time and delivery date are discussed.
Most vault rooms take around 10-12 weeks to manufacture, once everything is finalised.

8 – Room certificate

Once your vault room has been installed, a full inspection of the construction and the welding is undertaken. Evidence is submitted to the ECBS and only then can a certificate be issued for your completed project.

9 – Commissioning

In the penultimate step our engineers will install and commission your locking systems and fit brackets for alarm connections, electrics and decorative panels. Your vault will be ready for your other contractors to complete and put into operation.

10 – Insurance documentation

We will provide you with documentation that can be shared with your insurer, Home Office or Police liaison to prove the security rating of your vault.

Notes for Delivery & Installation

Precise compliance with all requirements during the delivery and installation of a Burton Security vault room is essential to provide maximum safety, security and functionality. This is how we ensure quality, reliability and the trust of our customers.

Site preparation

This will determine how the elements and the door are to be installed. Every building is different and so a variety of methods must be used.
Cranes, hiabs and forklifts are regularly used. But more traditional methods of lifting and rolling can often still be required.
A flat floor is essential to correct assembly of the walls and operation of the door.
If the building floor is not level then special leveling plates must be used.
