Gardall GWB3522 Wide-Body Depository Safe

B-Rate cash-drop security: protect daily takings behind a 1/2-inch door

Built for retail and cash-handling operators, the Gardall GWB3522 Wide-Body Depository Safe pairs a front-load deposit slot with a B-Rate burglary build. Its 1/4-inch steel body and 1/2-inch steel plate door carry an industry B-Rate, while a UL-listed Group II combination lock, independent relocker, and hard plate guard the boltwork. Made in the USA for staffed counter environments.

Sized to swallow a cash register tray, the GWB3522 measures 35 inches high by 21.75 inches wide by 16.5 inches deep and weighs 307 pounds. The bottom storage compartment offers 2.7 cubic feet and the top front-load compartment adds 1.1 cubic feet, with two adjustable shelves and floor anchor holes for permanent installation.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/2-inch steel plate door: A half-inch plate door over a 1/4-inch steel body earns this safe its industry B-Rate against pry and forced-entry attacks.
• ✓Three 1-inch round bolts plus full-length deadbolt: Locking bolts work with a full-length locking bar so the door resists removal even under sustained leverage.
• ✓UL-listed Group II combination lock: The standard UL-listed Group II dial backs the boltwork; a UL-listed Type I electronic lock is available as an option.
• ✓Hard plate and independent relocker: A hard plate shields the lock from drilling while the independent relocker secures the bolts if the lock is attacked.
• ✓Recessed anti-pry door with concealed hinges: Recessing the door and concealing the hinges removes the gaps and leverage points that pry tools target.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This wide-body model is a burglary deposit safe with no fire rating; choose an insulated sibling if fire protection is required.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Front-load deposit slot: Staff drop cash, checks, receipts, and envelopes through the front slot without opening the main door, limiting till exposure.
• ✓Wide-body interior for register trays: The oversized cavity stores a full cash register tray plus other valuables when the counter is closed.
• ✓Two adjustable shelves: Movable shelves organize deposits and stored items across the 2.7-cubic-foot lower compartment for daily handling.
• ✓Floor anchor holes: Pre-drilled base holes let you bolt the 307-pound safe down so it cannot be carried off.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The Gardall GWB3522 suits retailers, restaurants, and front-counter businesses that need a B-Rate drop safe sized for a cash register tray, with daily front-slot deposits and a UL-listed Group II lock. At 35 by 21.75 by 16.5 inches and 307 pounds, it anchors permanently at a staffed station.

Stepping down, the Gardall FL1337SD single-door depository (smaller footprint) or the LCF3020-G-C light-duty deposit safe cover lighter cash volumes, while the front-load FL2522/2 cash register tray model is a closely related alternative for similar workflows.
