To meet SEC. 1301.72 of DEA requirements, VSI offers the U.L.* listed Class M panels and vault door.  The door and frame should conform to 10 man-minutes against forced entry as stated in SEC 1301.72 under the Class M label which carries a UL rating** of 15 minutes. Although these are American specifications for DEA approved vault, VSI can adhere to any international security codes and specifications. VSI Class M vaults and their international rating equivalent can be found all around the world in countries such as Canada and Australia.

Doors

Class M doors also carry the 15 minute rating against forced entry as the modular vault panels. The standard VSI Thor III vault door has a clear opening of 78”H x 37”W and has several standard features such as acrylic day gate, thermostat/alarm kits and emergency ventilator. The vault door can be configured to any size and include an array of additional options, such as a U.L. emergency release, self-locking feature to day gate, and telephone in the door to meet the customer’s needs.

**The ratings are in minutes and these are based on actual attack minutes (not including breaks for changing tools, reviewing plans etc.) for a three-man team. The goal is to create a man size opening of 96 square inches opening in, between two panels, or at the floor level of a vault. The team uses a prescribed list of tools. The panels undergo a U.L. retest every seven years because of the improved tools and methods. The base for the test was the original generic vault in the 70's, which has never been retested
