A bank vault door system is designed to be highly secure, with features like a 6-inch thick steel door and a locking mechanism that can withstand massive forces. These doors are often reinforced with steel plates and a deadbolt that can only be opened with a combination lock.

The combination lock itself is made up of a series of wheels and dials that must be turned in a specific order to open the door. This makes it virtually impossible to guess the combination, even with the most sophisticated lock-picking tools.

In addition to the combination lock, many bank vaults also feature a secondary locking mechanism, such as a keycard reader or biometric scanner. This adds an extra layer of security to prevent unauthorized access.
