Gardall LCF2820-G-C Double Door Depository Safe

B-Rate dual-compartment depository: separate deposit and manager access

Built for cash-handling businesses, the Gardall LCF2820-G-C is a B-Rate double-door depository that separates depositing from access. A front-loading hopper with an anti-fish sawtooth baffle lets staff drop cash, checks, and slips without a code, while a 1/2-inch steel plate door and 1/8-inch body resist forced entry. Made in the USA with an independent re-locker on each compartment.

This is a compact under-counter or vehicle-mountable unit measuring 28 inches high, 20 inches wide, and 16 inches deep, and weighing 174 pounds. Two stacked chambers split the roughly 0.96-cubic-foot interior: an 8-inch-high top drop section and an 8.5-inch-high bottom tray section, both 16 inches wide by 13 inches deep, with pre-drilled holes for floor anchoring.

Engineering & Security

• ✓B-Rate burglary construction: The body is 1/8-inch steel and the door is 1/2-inch steel plate, the thickness threshold defining Gardall's B-Rate forced-entry deterrence.
• ✓Independent re-locker: Each locked compartment carries its own re-locker that secures the bolt work if the lock is attacked, frustrating punch and drill attempts.
• ✓Anti-fish sawtooth baffle: Sawtooth teeth inside the deposit hopper block fishing tools, preventing thieves from retrieving cash through the drop opening.
• ✓Laser-cut door: Precision laser-cut door fit narrows the gap a pry bar can exploit, tightening the seam between door and body.
• ✓Pre-drilled anchor holes: Mounting holes in the base let you bolt the 174-pound safe to a floor or delivery vehicle, which Gardall strongly recommends against removal.
• ✓No fire rating: This model is a burglary-rated depository and is not fire-rated by design; choose a fire-insulated sibling if heat protection is required.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Two locking compartments: An 8-inch top drop chamber and an 8.5-inch bottom tray chamber let an owner hold deposits separately from a manager's till access.
• ✓Code-free deposits: Staff without a combination can only add to the safe through the hopper, limiting employee access to stored cash.
• ✓Configurable locks: Each compartment accepts a dial combination, key-locking dial, or digital lock, so you set access independently per chamber.
• ✓Compact footprint: At 28 by 20 by 16 inches the unit fits under a counter or inside a delivery vehicle while still splitting drops from till storage.
• ✓Built for retail cash flow: Sized for money, checks, receipts, and deposit slips, it suits a single register or route stop handling daily takings.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The LCF2820-G-C fits retailers, route delivery operators, and small businesses that need to separate drive-by deposits from managed till access in one 28-by-20-by-16-inch, 174-pound cabinet. Bolt it down under a counter or in a vehicle and let staff deposit without granting access to stored cash.

Need less capacity or budget? The Gardall LCF2014 light-duty depository is a smaller, lower-cost option. For a wider opening or single-door layout, look at the Gardall LCF3020-G-C or LCF3214. If fire protection matters, step to the fire-insulated Gardall 1612-2WDS instead.
