Compact, Purpose-Built Security: A true B-rated safe with a ½" solid steel plate door + ⅛" steel body, delivering stronger burglary resistance than typical “home safes” in this size.
-
Designed for Cash & Daily Use: Ideal for cash handling, small valuables, and business documents — widely used in offices, retail counters, and mobile setups.

Effective Anti-Pry Protection: Features 3 locking bolts + full-length locking bar (hinge side) to resist prying attacks — a key advantage in compact safes.
