Our Mission
Who We Are
Atlas Safe Rooms is the premier builder of Storm Shelters and Safe Rooms. We have 3 showroom locations, Joplin, MO, Oklahoma City, OK, and Bentonville, AR. In addition, our headquarters and manufacturing are located in Joplin, Missouri. For those living outside these areas, we have representatives located throughout the Midwest. If you are looking for an above ground tornado shelter outside these areas, please contact us and we will do our best to accommodate your needs.
In 2011, we set out to design a residential storm shelter that is substantially stronger and better than what was available in the market using our extensive steel manufacturing experience in Joplin, MO. We then began building custom commercial safe rooms to accommodate businesses and schools with larger staff. It is important for us to be affordable and competitive without sacrificing quality. Most importantly, our storm shelter is capable of being installed in almost any existing home as well as in new construction. The safe room is all precision steel construction (7-gauge thick steel) and can be anchored to any substantial existing garage concrete slab, basement slab, or even outdoor slab.
Atlas Safe Rooms is a proud member of the ATSA, American Tornado Shelter Association which is an organization that helps to ensure storm shelter companies are producing and installing quality safe rooms and storm shelters.
Standard Features
Each storm shelter comes with the following:
Modular design also means unmatched versatility. Because the above-ground storm shelter is installed in panel sections, it can be carried in one panel at a time and installed virtually anywhere. The most popular install locations are garages, closets and basements.
Because each unit is constructed of modular panels, you never have to worry about being trapped inside if the door is blocked from the storm debris. After installation, two wrenches are left inside the storm shelter to remove the bolts on any panel, allowing for multiple emergency exits.
Each Atlas Safe Room storm shelter comes standard with a Grade 1 High Security keyed lock. Whether in a tornado, home invasion, or a secure place for valuables, once you enter an Atlas Safe Room, the danger outside will stay outside.
The “Defender3” Model door on each Atlas Safe Room includes a spring-loaded vault-style handle that allows any user to easily engage the 3 bolt reinforced locking mechanism.
Every two foot section of our storm shelter has both high and low stainless steel screened air vents. These vents are shielded for debris on the exterior and allow plenty of airflow.

Overturning stability is influenced by multiple variables, including slab thickness, mass, reinforcement, and the extent of the slab beyond the shelter footprint. Because site conditions vary, Atlas Safe Rooms can review existing slab information or conduct a site visit to help determine suitability prior to installation. Existing concrete slabs vary in thickness, steel reinforcement and build methods and therefore Atlas Safe Rooms certifies the structural integrity of the shelter alone.
Atlas Safe Rooms have been tested at Texas Tech for EF-5 simulated projectile impact testing. Atlas has had multiple 3rd party engineer reviews to reinforce that our shelters meet and exceed required storm shelter codes and standards. Atlas Safe Rooms is a member and sits on the board as the President of the ATSA.
