Gardall FL1328K Front Loading Deposit Safe

B-Rate front-load depository: locked-door cash drops for retail

Built for retail counters and cash-handling businesses, the Gardall FL1328K depository safe carries a B-Rate burglary classification on a 1/4-inch steel body with a steel door. Its front-loading hopper lets staff drop bagged cash with the door locked, while a punch-resistant bolt and an independent relocking device resist forced entry. The dual key lock ships standard, and the unit is made in the USA.

This is a compact under-counter unit measuring 25 inches high, 14.5 inches wide, and 13 inches deep, weighing 165 pounds. The interior offers 15 inches of height, 13.5 inches of width, and 11.5 inches of depth, roughly 1.35 cubic feet, with a front hopper sized to accept most large money bags up to 3 by 10.5 by 7 inches.

Engineering & Security

• ✓B-Rate burglary classification: Class B insurance rating requires a steel door over a 1/4-inch steel body, the construction standard insurers expect for counter cash deposits.
• ✓Punch-resistant bolt work: Hardened bolts resist punch attacks on the lock, the most common quick forced-entry method against drop safes.
• ✓Independent relocking device: If the lock back cover is knocked off during a drill or punch attack, the relocker fires and holds the bolts shut.
• ✓Dual key lock, UL Group II label: Ships standard with a dual key lock so two keyholders are required, or order single key, dial, or electronic.
• ✓Four base anchoring holes: Pre-drilled holes let you bolt the safe to the floor, a necessary deterrent against the safe being carried off.
• ✓Made in the USA: Manufactured by Gardall, a domestic safe maker, supporting buyers who require American-made security equipment.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Front-loading hopper: Pull the drop door forward, slide deposits in, and release; cash drops inside without the main door ever being opened.
• ✓Anti-fish baffle design: An internal baffle blocks contents from being fished back out through the deposit opening after they drop.
• ✓Large money-bag capacity: The hopper accepts most large money bags up to 3 by 10.5 by 7 inches, suiting busy retail tills.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This is a burglary depository safe and carries no fire rating; choose a fire-insulated sibling if heat protection is required.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The FL1328K suits retail stores, restaurants, and small businesses that need staff to deposit bagged cash throughout the day without access to stored funds. At 25 by 14.5 by 13 inches and 165 pounds, it anchors under a counter or in a back office and locks deposits behind a B-Rate steel door.

Need a rear-loading layout instead? The Gardall BL1328K offers the same key-lock format loading from the back, while the FL1328C steps up to combination-lock heavy-duty front loading. For larger volume, the FL1337SD single-door depository provides a bigger footprint.
