Deposit Drop Safes

Deposit safes have many names: drop safes, cash deposit safes and deposit chute safes are just a few. Regardless, these safes all have the same purpose: to serve as a short-term cash protection system to protect your money. These safes allow any person to deposit cash into them, but access is limited when it comes to opening them up. Read more

This minimises the risk of theft or loss. Hence, many businesses use these contraptions to keep their daily earnings safe until they are collected, tallied, and transported to the bank after closing.

What Are the Types of Deposit Safes?

At Buy A Safe, we have a range of depository safes to suit your needs. These are a few of our top sellers.

Counter Unit and Under-Counter Safes

Counter units and under-counter safes are typically bolted beneath the counter, providing easy access for interim money deposits. In addition, they feature an anti-fishing slot so no one can retrieve or "fish" the items back out once deposited, preventing unwanted access to your money.

Drawer Traps

Drawer trap deposit safes, like the Omni drawer traps sold at Buy A Safe, are suitable for various businesses with high security needs. They feature burglary protection for office and retail environments where access to the safe is required for deposit without opening the safe. With a variety of locking options available, including key locking, digital safe locks, and combination safe locks, you can be assured that your valuables are safely tucked inside unless the assigned person opens the safe. The drawer trap adds an extra layer of security, giving only one person full access to the safe.

Anti-Hold Up Safes

Anti-hold up safes feature time delay locks that can deter burglars from taking your valuables. This feature delays access to the safe even after opening it, giving time for the police to come to aid. Anti-hold up safes typically also feature dual key locks with two doors: an outer and an internal door which can be opened with either two keys (1 guard key and 1 client key) or a dual user combination. This means these safes require two people to open them successfully, making it more secure.

Why Invest in Deposit Drop Safes?

There’s no better way to keep cash at your business’ premises than securely stashed inside a depository safe. No matter what business you're in, whether big or small, deposit chute safes are essential to keep your daily earnings safe and sound.

Reduce theft and losses in your business with deposit drop safes today. Here at Buy A Safe, we offer a wide range of deposit boxes specially designed to allow your staff to deposit cash, papers, and post without the need to open the safe. Using a drop safe limits access to only specific individuals of your choice, which helps to prevent both external and internal theft.

What Can You Keep Inside Deposit Safes?

The type of items you want to store will influence the loading configuration you should choose. Apart from cash, a drop safe can be designed for money orders, cheques and packages. Depending on the size of the safe, it may allow for the deposit of some items and not for others.

Where Should You Place the Safe?

Most deposit drop safes are fitted into the wall where deposits are made in one room and received by authorised individuals in the adjoining room. However, smaller establishments may simply have safes anchored to the floor or portable ones.

Who Can Benefit From Depository Safes?

Many businesses benefit from deposit safes. Those with fast, high-volume daily transactions, such as convenience stores and fast-food restaurants, will benefit greatly from deposit safes as they provide speed and safety for the collecting of money. Retail stores, hotels, bars, and restaurants may also find deposit and money boxes useful for daily transactions. Churches and fundraising organisations may like to use deposit boxes to collect offerings and donations. Even apartment managers may benefit from them to collect rent payments or other documents and items from residents. Because these safes often feature compartments that have separate locks, they offer high security against any theft.

Who Will Use the Safe?

The size of your business and the number of employees who have access to the drop safe is another determining factor when considering which deposit safe to buy. If you plan to give more than a handful of people access, you may find it easier to use a digital lock with a code rather than having multiple keys created, for instance.
