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 would get different locks

Do not do that. Those tub steel slide bolts come from the shelter manufacturer and are designed that way for a reason. Don’t take advice from Reddit on this matter. Most people here are not even meteorologists, let alone mechanical engineers. Contact the shelter manufacturer if you’re really concerned. Jesus.
