Normally, one must choose between a drop safe for quick employee deposits or a truly secure safe to protect against serious theft attempts.

This safe utilizes a top-mounted rotary drop and a composite lining similar to those in UL-rated burglar and fire-resistant safes. Any would-be thief will be faced with an unexpected challenge when they encounter this.

This B-rated burglary-resistant drop safe sets itself apart with walls over 2.50 inches thick and a door nearly 5.00 inches thick.

The 1818-2WH is based on Gardall's very popular standard 1818-2 safe which is a certified UL RSC burglary resistant safe with a 2-hour UL Class 350 fire rating. Features such as composite lining in the body and door as well as a multi-step door design and advanced door-to-body seal gives the contents of this drop safe the best possible chance in the event of a fire.

The door on this premium depository safe features the same composite lining found in the body as well as an additional steel hard-plate and independent re-locking device to prevent drill attacks. The door features a multi-step design which aids in protecting the contents from damage in the event of a fire and makes pry attacks difficult. The opening side of the door is secured with five 1" diameter solid steel rotating bolts, three on the side and one on both the top and bottom. These rotating bolts act as a line of defense against burglars who may attempt cutting them with a flexible blade. The hinged side of the door is secured with 2 additional 1" diameter steel dead bolts. An ultra reliable UL listed Type 1 digital lock means you get quick access throughout the day and reliability long into the future.

The drop design on this safe is intended to provide the best protection possible. Where most drop doors and trays can be cut providing quick access to your cash deposits, this safe uses a rotary hopper in a heavy duty steel enclosure. They won't gain access to the safes contents without cutting through the entirety of the safes body or door, or removing the top hopper entirely, buying you very important time during an attempted break in.

The interior of this safe is steel-lined for durability. This steel lining also allows you to use a wide variety of magnetic key hooks. document holders, etc., to get some customization for your particular use case. An adjustable/removable shelf supported by strong metal clips allows you to partition the interior into separate sections, utilizing the top section for deposits and the bottom for excess cash, change, and more.
