Console Vault

[Rossi6998]

I recently installed a console vault (VLB5Z-9906202-A) in my 2020 Explorer ST. It is a perfect fit, all the ports inside the console are accessible with the vault in place, and I was able to install it within five minutes. It's a great modification.

Enjoy!

Was this pretty simple to do? Did you have to take anything apart?

 

[Rossi6998]

Very simple. Vault slips right into the console. Two interior bolt (one each on driver and passenger sides) hold the vault in place. I would definitely do it again...

Great idea

 

[Rossi6998]

Definitely better than nothing for temporarily securing items.

Do you still have access to the charge port?

 

[Rossi6998]

Yes. You have access to charging port, light, and access panel at bottom of console.

How big is the inside? I want one to hold my pistol securely.

If you have a Smith & Wesson M&P Shield (or something similar in size) it will fit with plenty of room. The inside of the vault is approximately 7 3/4" wide by 9 3/4" long. The lip around the opening is approximately 3/4" wide and the thickness of the metal is approximately 1/8". See pictures below. The knobs on the driver and passenger sides are actually the bolts that hold the vault in place. I covered them with rubber caps to prevent scratching myself or any objects I put in the vault.

where did you get the rubber caps?

 

[Rossi6998]

where did you get the rubber caps?

Amazon - search for Vinyl End Caps. I bought a couple different sizes. Don't remember which size actually fit. Sorry.

I have it... 9 mm with clips - no issues with space.. No I just one big enough to hold my AR15 with bump stock!

I keep my Glock 26 or 19 in there holstered. That vault is sweet.

Anyone know if a full size pistol would fit. Like the Ruger 57. Picking one up for a vehicle carry. Shoots 5.7x28 ammo. Anyone know how deep it is?

 

[Jeppo]

Been looking at these. Your review and photos are VERY helpful!

CH46E, The Console Vault is as deep as your center console, as it uses the pad on the bottom of the console as it’s bottom. This was my first mod in the ST, as I had one in my 17 Sport. Super craftsmanship and flawless execution. High recommended for those

Thanks man. I picked up the Ruger 57 today and it will fit in my console. But looking at the picture above it appears the vault sits about and inch lower into the console. I may have to put it in at a angle.

If it does not fit, that will just give me an excuse to go buy a 10mm pistol that will fit.
Where I plan to move to in January..... I need some extra fire power. The Ruger 57 hold 20+1.

I have a full size Glock 21 .45 that will fit at an angle in the vault but the 26 can lay flat on the bottom.
