The term 'strongroom' is a combination of two words, 'STRONG' and 'ROOM'. It is a secure ROOM or area, usually within a building, that is designed to protect valuable items from theft or damage. It is typically constructed with reinforced walls and doors, and may also have additional security measures such as locks, alarms, and surveillance cameras. The term 'VAULT' is often used interchangeably with 'strongroom', as it is also a secure ROOM or area used to store valuable items.
