It features a CLASS B insurance rating that means it has a 1/2" steel door with a 1/4" steel body construction. The safe, with punch resistant bolts, also features an external relocking device to deter forcible entry. What is a relocking device? If during a forcible entry the safe is drilled or punched, and the back cover of the lock is knocked off, the independent relock device is activated, preventing bolt withdrawal.
There are 4 anchor holes in the bottom of the safe to allow it to be bolted to the floor. This is a necessary step as a theft deterrent.
The front load hopper on this Gardall FL1328C heavy duty depository safe operates by pulling the door forward and sliding the envelope in. Check the door again to make sure the envelope has dropped. The hopper has a large front loading capacity that is designed to fit most large money bags - 3" x 10 1/2" x 7".
