Gardall CV1311 B-Rated Money Chest

B-Rate money chest: 1/4-inch steel body for theft protection

For buyers who need theft protection without fire ratings, the Gardall CV1311 B-Rated Money Chest pairs a 1/4-inch solid steel body with a UL Listed Group II combination lock. Built in the USA, this compact burglary safe carries Gardall's B-Rate construction, exceeding the 1/8-inch and 3/16-inch bodies common in this class, making it suited to cash, jewelry, and everyday valuables.

Measuring 13 inches high by 14.75 inches wide by 16.25 inches deep and weighing 98 pounds, the CV1311 offers 1.29 cubic feet in a single large compartment. Its modest footprint and floor-anchorable base let it sit discreetly in a home office, closet, or small business counter while still resisting unauthorized entry.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/4-inch solid steel body: The B-Rate body uses thicker steel than the 1/8-inch and 3/16-inch construction common in this category, raising resistance to attack.
• ✓Laser-cut plate steel door: Precision laser cutting tightens door-to-frame tolerances, reducing pry gaps and supporting a close, consistent fit.
• ✓Three 1-inch chrome bolts: Massive locking bolts engage the door frame to hold the door shut against force.
• ✓Hinge-side locking bar: An integrated bar on the hinge side deters prying even if the external hinges are attacked.
• ✓UL Listed Group II lock: Standard in the industry, this combination lock provides reliable, manipulation-resistant daily access.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This is a burglary safe with no fire rating; choose a fire-rated model if heat protection is a priority.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓1.29 cubic feet of interior: One large compartment holds cash, lottery tickets, traveler's checks, jewelry, and valuable documents without internal dividers.
• ✓Four floor-anchor holes: Pre-drilled holes let you bolt the chest to the floor for added resistance to removal.
• ✓98-pound footprint: Light enough to position behind a counter or in a closet, yet substantial once anchored in place.
• ✓Made in the USA: Gardall manufactures this chest domestically, backing it with heavy-duty hinges built for long-term use.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The Gardall CV1311 fits home and small-business owners who want B-Rate theft resistance for cash and valuables in a compact form: 13 inches high, 14.75 inches wide, 16.25 inches deep, and 98 pounds, with 1.29 cubic feet inside.
