Tornado Alley Armor safe rooms are entrapment proof. This really helps with claustrophobia issues for a lot of people. Wondering how we do it? Watch this 30 second spot and see for yourself how easy it is to get out if the storm shelter door gets blocked. By the way, we use an outward swinging door because it is a much stronger design than one that swings in. Don’t let others try to tell you that if the door swings in you can’t get trapped inside. After an EF5 tornado that door could be warped by debris causing it to not budge, or there could be so much debris on that side of the storm shelter that even if the door opened you may not be able to get out. With our design if you can’t get out on the side the door is on you can simply go to a different side of the safe room and start unbolting. You can even go out the top if you need to. 🙂
