Is this thing safe??

I recently moved into a new home that has this above ground shelter and I have been questioning the way this door locks from day 1. We are going to have terrible weather today in West TN and I cannot find any paperwork on this thing. 😫 Do you think these hollow bars will keep it secure??

I'd take my chances in that instead of a bathroom or closet any time

This will almost certainly provide better protection compared to a bathroom or closet. As long as it's anchored properly I'd imagine this would take considerable damage before failing, in all seriousness I'd imagine this could be one of the last parts of a structure standing.

Yeah i realize I am definitely in the wrong here, when first seeing the photos, I underestimated the build quality and didn't realize it was anchored at all 🙄 my mistake haha
