Hayman Front Loading Depository Safe - CV-F20-C

Hayman  Front Loading Depository Safe - CV-F20-C

The Hayman CV-F20-C front loading depository safe is made from solid steel and will provide you with a solid force for your money deposits. The door has 1/2" of solid steel, enough to give it a "B" rating in security. The depository chute is wide enough to accept a standard bank bag and is secure enough to prevent fishing. The anti-fishing baffle prevents tools from being used to gain access to the safe.

The safe comes standard with a dial combination lock. A digital electronic lock is available as an upgrade for an additional charge. The lock is protected by a drill resistant hard plate designed to stop drilling of the lock. This depository safe even goes further by protecting the lock with a spring-loaded re-locker. If a forced entry attempt is made the re-locker will fire the bolts into place making it almost impossible to open the door.

The Hayman CV-F20-C front loading depository safe is just one in a top-quality line of Hayman depository safes. They pride themselves on high-quality manufacturing and materials. You can trust that your deposit safe will protect your business interests and give you peace of mind.

• Lubricate Moving Parts: Apply a light, non-corrosive lubricant to hinges and any pivot points annually to maintain smooth door movement.
• Check Fire Seal & Insulation: Periodically inspect the intumescent door seal and fireboard lining to help preserve the 2-hour, 1800 °F fire protection.

• Monitor Moisture: Place a desiccant pack inside to reduce humidity and protect paper documents from moisture buildup.
