Gardall BL1328K Rear Loading Depository Safe

B-Rate depository: secure rear-loading drops for cash-handling businesses

Built for retailers and managers who separate the deposit point from the safe, the Gardall BL1328K Rear Loading Depository Safe earns a B-Rate burglary classification and a Class "B" insurance rating. Its 1/2-inch steel door and 1/4-inch steel body, dual-custody key locks, and made-in-USA construction let staff drop funds from one side of a wall while the safe stays locked in a controlled room.

At 25 inches high, 14.5 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, the BL1328K weighs 150 pounds and offers an interior of 15 by 13.5 by 11.5 inches. The rear-facing hopper and four floor-anchor holes suit installation against a shared wall, keeping the cash drop out of customer sight while deposits accumulate inside the secured body.

Engineering & Security

• ✓B-Rate burglary classification: Qualifies for a Class "B" insurance rating, the recognized tier for low- to mid-volume commercial cash deposits.
• ✓1/2-inch steel door: A half-inch solid steel door fronts the boltwork, resisting the prying and impact common in smash-and-grab attempts.
• ✓1/4-inch steel body: Quarter-inch plate construction wraps the body, giving the deposit chamber durable resistance to drilling and forced entry.
• ✓Triple boltwork with relocker: Three locking bolts plus an independent relocking device hold the door shut and block bolt retraction if the lock is attacked.
• ✓Punch-resistant bolt: The bolt is hardened against punch attacks, a frequent forced-entry method on lower-cost deposit boxes.
• ✓Not fire-rated: This model is a burglary depository without fire insulation by design; pair it with a fire safe if heat protection is required.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Rear-loading hopper: Staff drop deposits from behind a shared wall while the safe body stays locked inside a separate, controlled room.
• ✓Dual-custody key locks: Two keys are required to open the door, enforcing two-person control over cash retrieval and reducing single-handler risk.
• ✓Four floor-anchor holes: Pre-drilled holes let you bolt the 150-pound safe to the floor, a step Gardall strongly recommends for theft deterrence.
• ✓One-way deposit design: Funds drop into the chamber without opening the main door, minimizing exposure during routine cash handling.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The BL1328K fits convenience stores, restaurants, and small offices that want shift staff to deposit cash through a wall while only managers hold the keys. Measuring 25 by 14.5 by 13 inches and weighing 150 pounds, it installs in a back room with the hopper facing the service side.

Need a front-loading layout instead? The Gardall FL1328K Front Loading Deposit Safe shares this footprint and price. For a heavier-gauge upgrade, look at the BL1337KK Back Loading Depository Safe, or step up to the fire-insulated 1612-2WDS Depository Drop Slot Safe if heat protection matters.
