12.9.4 Vault and secure room (open storage area)
Construction Standards are under AR 380-5
12.9.4.1 Vault.
Floor and Walls Eight inches of concrete reinforced to meet current standards. Walls are to extend to the underside of the roof slab above. Roof Monolithic reinforced concrete slab of thickness to be determined by structural requirements, but not less than the floors and walls. Ceiling The roof or ceiling must be reinforced concrete of a thickness to be determined by structural requirements, but not less than the floors and walls. Door and Frame Vault door and frame unit will conform to Federal Specification AA–D–2757 Class 8–vault door, or Federal Specification AA–D–600 Class 5 vault door.
12.9.4.2 Secure room
Floor, Walls, and Roof. The walls, floor, and roof construction of secure rooms must be of permanent construction materials, i.e., plaster, gypsum wallboard, metal panels, hardboard, wood, plywood, or other materials offering resistance to, and evidence of, unauthorized entry into the area. Walls will be extended to the true ceiling and attached with permanent construction materials, with mesh or 18 gauge expanded steel screen. Ceiling. The ceiling will be constructed of plaster, gypsum, wallboard material, hardware, or other similar material that the command security manager judges to be of equivalent strength. Doors. The access door to the room will be substantially constructed of wood or metal. The hinge pins of out–swing doors will be pinned, brazed, or spot–welded to prevent removal. The access door will be equipped with a built–in GSA–approved combination lock meeting Federal Specification FF–L–2740A. For open storage areas approved under previous standards, the lock can be the previously approved GSA combination lock. However, upon retrofit, the door must be fitted with a lock meeting Federal Specification FF–L–2740A (See paragraph 7–21 for priorities for replacement of such locks). Doors, other than the access door, will be secured from the inside. For example, by using a dead bolt lock, panic dead bolt lock, or rigid wood or metal bar which extends across the width of the door, or by any other means that will prevent entry from the outside. Key operated locks that can be accessed from the exterior side of the door are not authorized. Windows. Windows which are less than 18 feet above the ground when measured from the bottom of the window, or are easily accessible by means of objects directly beneath the windows, will be constructed from or covered with materials which will provide protection from forced entry. The protection provided to the windows need be no stronger than the strength of the contiguous walls. Openings. Utility openings, such as ducts and vents, will be kept at less than a person–passable, 96 square inches, opening. Openings larger than 96 square inches will be hardened in accordance with Military Handbook 1013/1A, which provides guidance to ensure that appropriate physical security considerations are included in the design of facilities.
