Mesa MFL2714C Depository Safe

Front-loading drop safe with anti-fish baffle for cash deposits

Built for retail counters and cash-handling staff, the Mesa MFL2714C depository safe lets employees drop cash and valuables without opening the chamber. A front-loading mail-slot deposit door with an anti-fish baffle blocks retrieval through the slot, while a 1/2-inch solid steel door and five 1-inch live locking bolts secure the contents behind a combination lock.

The cabinet measures 27.5 inches high by 14 inches wide by 14 inches deep and weighs 113 pounds, giving a 1.41 cubic-foot interior (16.13 by 13.75 by 11 inches). Four pre-drilled anchor holes let you bolt the 113-pound body to the floor, an essential step for a unit light enough to be carried off if left free-standing.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1/2-inch solid steel door: The thick door plate resists prying and drilling at the most-attacked face of the safe during a forced-entry attempt.
• ✓Five 1-inch locking bolts: Solid steel live-locking bolts spread clamping force across the door for resistance to pry attacks.
• ✓Heavy-duty dead bar: An internal dead bar holds the door in place even if the hinge side is attacked, preventing door removal under force.
• ✓Combination dial lock: This C-model ships with a mechanical combination lock, a battery-free option suited to shared retail and back-office use.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Front mail-slot deposit door: Staff drop cash and envelopes through the front slot without combination access, separating deposit duty from safe opening.
• ✓Anti-fish baffle: An internal baffle blocks tools or hands from fishing deposited cash back out through the deposit slot.
• ✓Not fire-rated by design: This is a burglary-deterrent deposit safe, not a fire safe, so store irreplaceable documents in a separate fire-rated unit.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The MFL2714C suits convenience stores, restaurants, and small businesses that need a tamper-resistant drop point for daily cash. At 27.5 by 14 by 14 inches and 113 pounds with a 1.41 cubic-foot interior, it anchors easily under or beside a counter.

If you need an electronic keypad instead of a dial, the sibling MFL2714E offers the same body with a digital lock; the larger dual-chamber MFL2731CC steps up capacity, while the MFL2014K front-load model is a more compact, lower-cost alternative.
