The Steampunk Door: Vintage Industrial Elegance

Distinctive Steampunk Aesthetic

Steampunk combines Victorian-era industrial design with a futuristic twist. Smith Security Safes brings this style to life with vault doors that exude an aged, handcrafted appearance. Every detail, from the rivets to the textured finishes, contributes to the authenticity of the design.

Signature Features

• Flat Black Paint – The foundation of the Steampunk door's look. This deep black finish is the perfect canvas for rivets and industrial embellishments.
• Metal Straps and Rivets – Unlike lightweight imitations, these doors use heavy-duty materials that add visual appeal and durability.
• Scuffing for a Vintage Look – Every Steampunk door is deliberately distressed to create a timeworn, industrial effect.
• Black Handles and Locks – The hardware is carefully selected to blend seamlessly with the overall aesthetic.
• Optional Brass Rivets and Cutout Artwork – Customization options include polished brass rivets for contrast or intricate cutouts featuring stars, animals, or custom logos.

Limited Color Palette

Steampunk doors are typically available in black and gray finishes. These tones maintain the integrity of the style while allowing key details to stand out. The limited color options ensure each door retains the authentic industrial appearance that defines the Steampunk aesthetic.

The Battleship Door: Industrial Strength with Military Precision

Inspiration from Naval Engineering

The Battleship vault door is a tribute to the powerful, reinforced doors found on military ships. This style is rugged, with an industrial influence emphasizing strength and durability. If you want a door that looks like it was plucked from the U.S.S. Missouri, this is it.

Defining Characteristics

• Gray or Black Finishes – The Battleship door’s color options reinforce its industrial and military-inspired aesthetic.

• Rivets as a Design Element – Unlike purely decorative details, these rivets add texture and a sense of rugged reliability.

  • Brass Rivets – Polished for contrast, adding a refined touch.

  • Steel Rivets – Painted to match the door for a cohesive, understated look.

• Matching Hardware – Handles and locks are carefully chosen to complement the rivets and overall design.

• Optional Custom Artwork – Personalization options allow customers to add unique engravings or logos for an extra layer of individuality.

Popular Color Choices

While black remains the most requested color, the Battleship door’s gray option provides an authentic industrial feel. The hammered finish enhances the rugged appearance, giving it the visual weight of a true military-grade installation.
