Fire Wall - commonly used in meuseums and other secure locations. surround sections of your map with wired wall barriers, set it up so that cutting through any of these barriers triggers most of your trap system.
I do this often because, if someones actually brought cutting tools, chances are they can bypass most traps if they need to, but this method actually forces them to use up all thier saws quickly.
to to this, you put a single power source along the map perimiter and build your firewall using wired wall and cables where passage is needed, at the other end of the firewall add an inverted voltage switch and power supply which you then connect to any trap system you want to set off.

one of the only ways to bypass such a system is to short the firewalls trippable power supply. to its a good idea to wall it up good.
this can be used on both the small and large scale to punish people attempting to use the old 5 saws scouting method.

upgrades:
add wall dogs to other side of firewall
add a secondary backup trigger system
add a containment system by adding powered doors across key areas that are triggered by the firewall.
add a deadlock system that locks out all vault access if the firewall is breached.

goals - use up as many tools as possible. - secure vital areas of the house from penetration

this trap basically punishes anyone attempting to brute force the system.
