Throughout the 35 years Safeguard Safes has been operating in the security industry, we have seen a significant increase in the demand for cash deposit safes in Australia. These cash deposit safes are also known as dropsafes, they are identical to the traditional night safes that were originally positioned in front of almost every bank in Australia. There are a few different varieties under the cash deposit safe category, including cash management safes, deposit chute safes, postal slot deposit safes, through wall deposit safes, tilted chute safes, time delay safes and under counter safes. 

Some lower end deposit safes on the market provide less than ideal security level. This is because a thief or burglar can use a piece of wire with double sided tape or something similar to fish out money from the deposit slot. This being said, it is critical to keep in mind that posting slot safes can be equipped with an antifishing baffle to increase its security level. With this special feature, you can ensure the money that gets dropped into the slots is deflected away from the area directly below the deposit slot. 

A popular type of deposit safe we often get asked about is the “drawer deposit” or “deposit drawer safe”. As the name suggests, this type of safe features a drawer mechanism. It makes the depositing of cash an extremely simple process. The downside of the drawer deposit safe is that cheaper grade runners on the drawer tend to wear out and the drawer can disintegrate over time. If you’re looking for a better quality deposit drawer safe, the Chubb Omni drawer trap safe 5D is a popular choice, it is secured with an electronic digital as standard on the main door and a pick resistant key on the deposit drawer. Another great choice is the Guardall Security Deposit Safe KCR-2D. They are ideal for professional cash management at retail chain stores, restaurants, hotels and motels, or any commercial applications where cash control is vital. It allows limited access to the safe which reduces the content accountability to one staff member. The KCR-2D deposit safe is constructed of 90mm thick hardened high density concrete barrier materials to provides ultimate protection and resistance against all known forms of professional attack by such means as oxy-acetylene, high speed drills & grinders, explosives & force, pneumatic & hydraulic power tools, crowbars & sledge hammers, and industrial cutting tools.  

Over the recent years, we have seen an increase in the popularity of “flap deposit safes”, which is a type of basic money drop safe that is both durable and a good value for money. The flap deposit safe is built really similar to mail deposit box constructions by Australia Post. In order to deposit money, just draw the deposit flap down, position the money bag on the flap, and then lift the flap up. 

Another safe we want to bring to your attention is the cash management safe, also known as drop safes. It is absolutely critical to purchase a safe that is built to safeguard the cash deposited within it. Most deposit safes are not designed to hold large amounts of cash, they are only designed to handle little amounts of money up to approximately $5,000.
