bank vaults

Fortified money rooms

Bank vaults are heavily fortified rooms or compartments where banks store cash, valuables, and safe deposit boxes.

The walls are typically reinforced concrete and steel, with massive doors featuring time locks and combination mechanisms.

The thieves tunneled into the bank vault from a neighboring building.

In heist films, cracking the bank vault is usually the climactic challenge.
