Governments, banks, corporations, criminals, wealthy individuals and rogue political groups all have a need to protect valuable goods or information. When it comes to protecting what’s close to them, these organisations spare no expense on building the most robust vaults. Our list features extreme locations, bomb proof doors, guards with marksmanship training and metre thick steel reinforced concrete walls. To all the would be bank robbers amongst you, good luck.
#1 – Fort Knox
Fort Knox aka The US Bullion Depository is one most highly secured vaults in existence. The fort is home to thousands of tons of gold and historic items such as the US Declaration of Independence. Despite the heavily guarded and fortified facility the real star is the gold vault underneath the building. Guarded by a 22 ton blast proof door and a secret code that is divided by ten people.
