Gardall BL1328C Rear Loading Depository Safe

B-rate rear-loading drop safe: secure cash deposits from a back room

Built for retailers and managers who collect cash in one room and deposit it from another, the Gardall BL1328C Rear Loading Depository Safe earns a Class B burglary rating with a 1/2-inch steel door, 1/4-inch steel body, and a UL-listed S&G Group II combination lock. It is made in the USA in Syracuse, New York.

This is a compact, floor-anchorable unit measuring 25 inches high, 14.5 inches wide, and 13 inches deep and weighing 150 pounds. Inside, the interior offers 15 by 13.5 by 11.5 inches of storage, while the rear loading hopper accepts drops up to 3 inches high, 10.5 inches wide, and 7 inches deep through a wall.

Engineering & Security

• ✓Class B burglary rating: Qualifies for a Class B insurance rating, recognizing its steel construction and anti-entry hardware for commercial cash handling.
• ✓1/2-inch steel door: Half-inch plate door resists prying and forced entry attempts at the safe's most vulnerable point.
• ✓1/4-inch steel body: Welded quarter-inch steel walls form the enclosure that holds deposited cash and valuables securely.
• ✓UL-listed S&G Group II lock: Ships with a UL-listed Sargent & Greenleaf Group II dial combination lock; an electronic digital lock is available as an upgrade.
• ✓Triple boltwork with relocker: Triple boltwork plus an independent relocking device blocks bolt withdrawal if the lock back cover is punched off.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This model is a burglary depository unit with no fire insulation; choose a fire-insulated sibling if heat protection is required.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Rear loading hopper: A rear hopper lets staff drop deposits from an adjacent room, keeping the locked safe out of customer view entirely.
• ✓3 x 10.5 x 7-inch drop: Drop opening measures 3 inches high by 10.5 inches wide by 7 inches deep; use deposit bags roughly two-thirds smaller.
• ✓Four anchoring holes: Pre-drilled base holes let you bolt the 150-pound safe to the floor so it cannot be carried off.
• ✓12 x 12-inch door access: The 12-inch-high by 12-inch-wide door provides clear reach into the interior for end-of-shift cash removal.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The Gardall BL1328C suits retail counters, restaurants, and offices that need staff to drop cash from the sales floor while the safe stays locked in a secure back room. At 25 by 14.5 by 13 inches and 150 pounds, it bolts down through four base holes for permanent placement.

Need a keyed version at this size? The BL1328K offers the same rear-loading body with a key lock. For higher-capacity back loading, step up to the BL1337CC, and if fire protection matters, consider the fire-insulated 1612-2WDS instead.
