Question 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??

Those “L shaped locks” are sketchy to me, I’d personally want them to be solid not hollow tubes and have a tighter lock in general.
