Pros: Was not sure of all the options available and had to call customer service. Customer service was very knowledgeable and helped me order a vault door with left hand hinges. I already had an existing concrete vault room with an 84” X 36” opening and needed a door to slide in the opening and this door worked very well. Door fits well and with all the weight still is easy to operate, paint job is exceptional and quality is great. Delivery was free and door was dropped at my garage as asked.

Cons: The installation kit that was sent with the door was 9 j-hooks that you were supposed to use nuts on the securing end. I am an engineer and there is no physical way to use those j-hooks in concrete even if you have them in place before you poor the concrete. I had to buy new concrete bolts to mount the door in place. Door if 650 lbs. and awkward moving down a flight of stairs, but that was to be expected.

Conclusion: It is a great door and I had the tools and knowledge to install it myself. If you’re not very handy hire the installation done by others. It looks great and functions great.

<p>The customer service on the door was excellent, delivery was free, and the guy was nice enough to put it next to my garage. The quality is great, as to be expected from Browning, and the matte black finish looks better than my gloss green finished Browning safe. The biometric combination system is awesome, and I would highly recommend purchasing that over the upgraded paint.</p><p>Cons: The other review on this site was very accurate. There is no way to use the j-bolts that they provide unless you purchase your own nuts, fasten them into place on both sides, and then have the concrete poured around the frame, which is what I did. Then removed the inside nut and replaced it with the chrome plated caps that they provided. If you are trying to put the door in to an already framed/poured concrete opening, you will have to purchase your own concrete anchors as did the other reviewer. To me this is very minor compared to the overall quality of the product you are purchasing, but Browning should definitely either provide concrete anchors or more detailed installation instructions.</p>
