A seismic restraint system for vault located bank safety deposit box modules and the like. This system includes a beam or strongback which extends along the top of a row of safe deposit box modules. A series of adjustable columns bear against the beam and the ceiling of the safe deposit vault. Horizontal bars extend laterally from the beam for securement to an adjacent wall or other vertical support. In one embodiment, a rectangular beam assembly with a plurality of adjustable columns is used to secure a freestanding stack of modules. Resilient pads and stepped beams accommodate differences in heights of modules.
