The TC-01K - A Quality Constructed Class B-Rated Drop Safe

The TC-01K drop safe is a B-rated safe having a dual key lock complimented by a spring loaded re-locker to resist brute force entry by amateur and skilled attackers. Provision of pre-drilled anchoring holes, anchoring hardware and inclusion of a saw-toothed baffle stop thieves from ‘fishing’ for the safe’s contents or simply walking off with the drop safe.  

To attain a class B security rating the drop safe construction must be a minimum quarter (inch ¼”) thick steel on all five sides and be equipped with a half inch (1/2”) solid steel door. While this may sound simplistic, the thicker the steel used the greater the protection for your valuables and yet many safe manufacturers use 12 gauge (7/64”) steel to make a drop safe and many classify a premium safe as having 10 gauge (9/64”) steel . The body of a TC-01K drop safe is constructed of ¼” thick steel,  two and a half time thicker than 12 gauge steel and twice as thick as the steel used in a  ‘premium’ branded safe. The door of the TC-01K drop safe is one and three quarters inch (1 ¾”) thick with a ½’ solid steel plate. Many drop safe doors may appear well constructed but in reality the construction is sheet rock sandwiched between two layers of 12-gauge steel providing an overall steel thickness of only three sixteenths (3/16) of an inch. The steel used in the construction of the TC-01K drop safe is definitely that required for a class B rating.

Like all good safes the TC-01K drop safe comes with a re-locker to keep the safe locked when attacked by a burglar. The spring loaded re-locker consists of a hardened pin and tensioned spring held in place by a plate, which, when released by someone attacking the drop safe locks the door in place. No safe this size is secure unless secured to the floor, a workbench or counter. The TC-01K drop safe comes standard with four pre-drilled anchoring holes and the hardware required to secure the safe. To stop would be thieves from accessing drop safes via the opening and “fishing” out the contents, drop safes will have either a baffle attached to the slot, a hinged hopper similar to bank deposit safes or a rotary hopper mounted on its top. The TC-01K drop safe has been designed with a saw-toothed baffle to prevent ‘fishing’.

For its size, the heavy-duty construction of the Class B rated TC-01K drop safe provides a high level of security without compromising ease of use by customers. This ease of use makes it a great choice for convenient stores, hotels, motels, churches, gas stations, car washes and restaurants

Drop Safes, the First Line of Security for Handling Cash

Any type of business that deals with cash is in the high-risk robbery category, and includes businesses and organizations as diverse as churches, gas stations, grocery stores, liquor stores and nightclubs. The first line of security in this high-risk category is the installation of drop safes to secure cash donations or to deposit excess cash from registers. Drop safes or drop boxes as they are sometimes called have been designed with a slot or opening at the top for the easy depositing of cash or other valuable items.

From Top Left - Single Key Drop Safe, Wall Mounted Drop Safe, Duel Key Drop Safe

To stop would be thieves from accessing drop safes via the opening and “fishing” out the contents, drop safes will have either a baffle attached to the slot, a hinged hopper similar to bank deposit safes or a rotary hopper mounted on its top. Anchoring the drop safe to a bench or under a counter using the pre-drilled anchoring holes in the drop safes base provides another level of security. Anchoring drop safes prevents thieves from simply picking up the drop safe and walking out with it.
Drop safes come with a number of locking options including single key locks, dual key locks and electronic keypad mechanisms. The locking option chosen will be dependent upon what procedures the business or organization has in place with each type of lock providing owners with a solution suitable to their business.
Drop safes when used in conjunction with a cash management strategy are an excellent security measure for businesses receiving cash payments, checks or cash takings. However, it must be remembered that drop safes are designed as a mid to low security measure and being non-fireproof, should only be used for the temporary security of valuables. The contents of drop safes must be cleared regularly, and then secured in a burglary rated safe, preferably a safe with a fireproof rating, ready for the banking cycle. Never leave cash or valuables in drop safes overnight.
Robbers regularly target bars and nightclubs due to the large amounts of cash held on the premises at night. It is imperative that businesses operating at night such as nightclubs, liquor stores, late night convenience stores etc. have well hidden drop safes, a burglary rated safe and maintain a strict cash management procedures.
