AMSEC DXE2420

UL-listed TL-15 money chest, built in the USA

Built for retailers and collectors needing certified tool-attack protection, the AMSEC DXE2420 is a UL-listed TL-15 money chest from American Security's DXE series. Its 1/2-inch high-strength steel plate door and continuously welded body resist skilled entry with common hand and power tools for a UL-verified net working time. Made in the USA, it ships with a Group II combination lock and active hardplate.

Compact yet substantial, the DXE2420 measures 25.5" high, 21.5" wide, and 24.25" deep, holding 5.81 cubic feet (about 10,039 cubic inches) of interior space behind a 23.5" x 18.75" door clearance. At 513 pounds, it offers floor-anchorable, high-security storage without the footprint of a full TL-rated vault.

Engineering & Security

• ✓UL TL-15 burglary rating: Underwriters Laboratories tested the door to resist entry by skilled attackers using hand and power tools for a 15-minute net working time.
• ✓1/2-inch steel plate door: High-strength steel forms the door, the primary barrier UL evaluates for TL-15 tool-attack resistance.
• ✓Active hardplate protection: A patented hardplate shields the lock and relocker from drilling, a common professional attack on the lock package.
• ✓Chromed steel boltwork: Handle-activated locking moves two to six 1-inch chromed steel bolts into the frame to secure the door.
• ✓Solid steel dead bar: Running the hinge side, it keeps the door captive even if hinges are cut during a forced-entry attempt.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: The DXE series carries no fire certification, so pair it with off-site backups for irreplaceable documents and media.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Money-chest design: American Security positions the DXE as a money chest suited to retail cash handling and high-value private collections.
• ✓Group II combination lock: A UL-listed Group II key-changeable combination lock comes standard, with electronic lock options available at order.
• ✓Adjustable shelving: Installed shelf strips let you set optional shelves at the height your cash, trays, or jewelry workflow needs.
• ✓Bronze bearing hinges: Oil-impregnated bronze bearing hinges give smooth, maintenance-free daily door operation in busy environments.
• ✓Floor anchoring: Pre-drilled mounting lets you bolt the 513-pound chest down, removing carry-off as a smash-and-grab option.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The DXE2420 fits jewelers, pawn shops, dispensaries, and collectors who need genuine UL TL-15 burglary protection in a manageable 25.5" x 21.5" x 24.25", 513-pound package with 5.81 cubic feet inside.

If you need less capacity, the DXE1818 and DXE2020 step down within the same TL-15 series; for more room, the DXE2424XD and DXE3024 scale up while keeping the 1/2-inch door and Made-in-USA construction.
