AMSEC DXE1818

UL-Listed TL-15 plate safe: bank-grade cash and valuables protection

Built for retailers and collectors who need certified high-security storage, the AMSEC DXE1818 is a UL-Listed TL-15 plate safe from American Security's DXE series. Its 1-inch solid steel plate door and high-tensile steel body are engineered to resist sophisticated tool attacks, while a UL Group II lock and spring-loaded relocker guard the boltwork. Made in the USA.

The footprint stays compact for a TL-15 chest, measuring 19.5 inches high by 19.5 inches wide by 16.25 inches deep on the exterior (add about 2 inches for dial and hinge projection) and weighing 325 pounds. Inside, 18.5 by 18.5 by 12.25 inches yields 4,107 cubic inches, roughly 2.4 cubic feet, with a 17.5 by 16.75-inch clear door opening for loading cash bags, jewelry trays, and documents.

Engineering & Security

• ✓UL-Listed TL-15 rating: The DXE series is independently UL-Listed to TL-15, meaning it resisted 15 minutes of net working time against hand and power tool attack.
• ✓1-inch solid steel plate door: A single thick steel plate, rather than a thin wrapper, anchors the burglary defense and houses the lock and relocking hardware.
• ✓High-tensile steel body: Plate-steel walls rated to 100,000 PSI minimum tensile strength make pry and cutting attacks far slower for an intruder.
• ✓Group II combination lock: Comes with a UL-Listed Group II key-changeable dial; ESL10XL or ESL20XL electronic locks are available as factory options.
• ✓Spring-loaded relocker: An auxiliary relocking device re-secures the bolts if the lock is punched or drilled, defeating common forced-entry shortcuts.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This is a burglary plate safe with no UL fire rating; choose AMSEC's composite or CE/CF lines if fire protection is a priority.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Chromed steel locking bolts: Multiple 1-inch diameter bolts engage the frame so till deposits and reserve cash stay locked between shifts.
• ✓4,107 cubic inches inside: About 2.4 cubic feet holds cash trays, deposit bags, and jewelry boxes without committing to a full-size floor safe.
• ✓Clear door opening: A 17.5 by 16.75-inch opening lets staff move banded bills and valuables in and out quickly during busy hours.
• ✓Pre-drilled for anchoring: Floor-mount holes and hardware are included so the 325-pound chest can be bolted down, important since it weighs under 750 pounds.
• ✓Maintenance-free bronze hinges: Oil-impregnated bronze bearing hinges keep the heavy door swinging smoothly through years of daily open-and-close cycles.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The DXE1818 suits jewelers, cash-handling retailers, and homeowners protecting high-value valuables who want a UL TL-15 chest in a compact 19.5 by 19.5 by 16.25-inch exterior at 325 pounds. Anchor it through the pre-drilled base for full burglary security.

Need less interior room? The AMSEC DXE1414 is the smaller chest in the series. For more capacity at the same TL-15 rating, step up to the DXE2020 or DXE2420, or move to the DXE3018XD for a larger high-security build.
