Safes for businesses
Businesses need a safe that holds a day's takings or the petty cash, records and keys, and that more than one person can be trusted to open. We make commercial safes from 36 litres up to heavy-duty 340 litre units, and fit the locks your cash procedures need.
| Business | Common choice |
|---|---|
| Small shop or pharmacy | 36 or 80 litre safe, often with a drop slot |
| Office | 80 litre safe for cash and documents; fireproof cabinet for files |
| School bursary or clinic | 140 litre heavy-duty safe with dual control |
| Hotel | Main heavy-duty safe for the cash office; small in-room safes |
| Retail chain | Heavy-duty or drop safe per branch, same model everywhere |
Cash and money safes
For cash, the questions are how much is kept overnight, how often it is banked, and who may open the safe. A drop safe lets staff deposit cash without being able to take it out. A dual-control safe needs two people to open it.


Key cabinets
We also make steel key cabinets for offices, hotels, farms and fleets, so keys are stored in one locked place and are easy to check.

Locks for business use
- Key lock: simple and reliable, works through power cuts.
- Mechanical combination dial: no key to lose and no batteries.
- Digital keypad: quick to open and easy to change the code.
- Electronic lock with override key.
- Dual locks (for example keypad plus key) so two people are needed to open the safe.
What affects the price
- Capacity and outer size.
- Standard or heavy-duty body.
- Lock type, and one lock or two.
- Options such as a deposit slot or extra shelves.
- Delivery distance and whether the safe is bolted down.
- Quantity: buying several safes for branches lowers the cost per safe.
Questions buyers ask
What size safe does an office need?
Most offices use an 80 litre safe for cash and important documents. Cash-handling offices usually need a 140 litre heavy-duty safe or larger.
Can you supply the same safe to all our branches?
Yes. We manufacture in batches, deliver nationwide and can install at each branch, which keeps procedures and keys consistent.
