===Door=== The vault door is also molded of special concrete used to make the panels, but it can be made in several ways. The door mold differs from the panel molds because there is a hole for the lock and the door will be clad in stainless steel. Some manufacturers use the steel cladding as the mold and pour the concrete directly into it. Other manufacturers use a regular mold and screw the steel on after the panel is dry. Round vault doors were popular in the early 20th century and are iconic images for a bank's high security. They fell out of favor due to manufacturing complexities, maintenance issues (door sag due to weight) and cost, but a few examples are still available.<ref>{{cite web |title=Vault Structure Inc.

It is often made of open metal mesh or glass and is intended to keep a casual visitor out rather than to provide true security.<ref>{{cite web|title=Installation Instructions for Overly GSA Class 5 Vault Door|url=http://www.overly.com/door/tech/docs/ins-gsaCL5.pdf|publisher=Overly Door Company|access-date=28 December 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110715024825/http://www.overly.com/door/tech/docs/ins-gsaCL5.pdf|archive-date=15 July 2011|url-status=dead}}</ref>
