Choosing the Right Configuration
Safe deposit boxes are modular, allowing for a wide range of sizes and configurations based on your client base and available vault space.
Mixed-Size Layouts
Accommodate jewelry, documents, and bulkier items
Double-Access Columns
Shared accounts and multi-user access capabilities
Electronic Audit Controls
Modern tracking and monitoring systems
Custom Configurations
Tailored to your specific space and needs
Precision Anchoring and Levelling
Once the layout is approved, the installation begins with precision anchoring. This includes anchoring the frame to concrete flooring, shimming and levelling the entire structure, and bolting each unit tightly together to prevent shifting over time.
"A poorly levelled safe deposit system compromises the function of box doors and locks. Our certified technicians use laser-guided alignment tools for perfect structural integrity."
Comprehensive Security Systems
Modern safe deposit box systems should be integrated with your facility's overall physical security infrastructure.
