To protect the door from drilling, five--ply chrome steel i used. " o oo% However, the main outstanding feature of the door and a radical departure in vault door construc-- tion, is a chemical plate embedded in the door. By the use of this chemical plate, the door is protect-- ed against any burning element, because if heat is applied this che-- mical compound throws off dense volumes of smoke and poisonous gases. These gases are so power-- ful that gas masks in use by the army are useless against this che-- mical. This door is of tha same type of construction as the doors used by Federal Reserve Banks, of New York and Chicago and several of the; largest Chicago banks. There are twenty--two bolts, 3% inches in diameter that lock the door in place and these bolts are controlled. by 2 combination locks which are in turn further -- checked by a triple movement, seventy--two hour time-- lock. The weight of this door and its vestibule is thirteen tons. The Libertyville Trust & Saving Bank is the first in Lake County to in-- stall a door of this type. The entire door and vestibule as well as the safe deposite boxes have a satin--nickel finish and pre-- sent a very pleasing appearance and by using the construction des-- cribed the bank is granted the high-- est class rating allowed by insur-- ance companies against burglary and robbery. As a precaution a-- gainst the danger of being forcibly locked in the vault, a special device is attached to the door which auto-- matically locks the door in a parti-- ally open position. The door can be opened from the inside when the danger is past and from the outside by a special tool for such an emergency.
