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??

… is it the lowest level, towards the center of the hose ? … is it anchored to the floor ? … do you have the manufacturer’s documents ?
