Deposit safe with drawer or with drum?

The deposit drawer is the most common type. Keep in mind: on most drawer models, such as the Chubbsafes ProGuard DT and the Salvus Tivoli, the drawer must be locked after each deposit. An open drawer is not armoured and can be forced or removed. The exceptions are our drawer models from Kaso and Robur: they remain secure even without locking. Under intensive use, a drawer also wears faster than a drum.

A drum, as on the Fichet-Bauche DFX, is always secure — no locking required. Drum models are therefore the best choice for frequent deposits and larger volumes.

Drawer models, in turn, offer more installation options. They are easier to fit through a wall; Robur even offers models with the drawer protruding at the side or rear. Another advantage: a second safe is easily mounted on top of a drawer model. This gives you a combination safe — a regular safe on top for cash registers and change, with the deposit safe below for skimming off takings. Want that combination with a drum? Then the Robur DD is the way to go: a robust safe with an integrated drum in a single unit — which is exactly why it's one of our most popular deposit safes.
