Mesa MFL2731CC Dual Chamber Depository Safe

Dual-chamber drop depository: separate-combination cash control for two users

Built for retail and route operators who separate deposits from stored cash, the Mesa MFL2731CC dual-chamber depository pairs a front-loading mailbox slot with two independently locked compartments, each secured by its own mechanical combination dial. An anti-fish baffle guards the deposit opening, and a 1-inch solid steel door with five 1-inch live-locking bolts anchors the build. The MFL series is imported and is not burglary- or fire-rated.

This is a sizable floor unit measuring 27.25 inches high by 30.75 inches wide by 21 inches deep and weighing 247 pounds, giving 2.65 cubic feet in the main right chamber and roughly 2.0 cubic feet on the left. The deposit door opens 3.5 inches high by 10 inches wide by 5 inches deep into a 5.5 by 10 by 11-inch hopper, large enough for cash bags, envelopes, and bundled receipts.

Engineering & Security

• ✓1-inch solid steel door: Each door is a full inch of solid steel, the heaviest plate in this depository line, resisting prying and impact at the most attacked surface.
• ✓Five 1-inch live-locking bolts per door: Five 1-inch-diameter solid steel bolts throw into the frame on each door, spreading clamping force across the opening to resist forced entry.
• ✓Heavy-duty dead bar: A dead bar blocks the door from being levered out of the body during a pry attack, a common failure point on cheaper drop safes.
• ✓Anti-fish baffle: An internal baffle behind the deposit door defeats fishing tools, so cash dropped through the slot cannot be hooked back out.
• ✓Four floor anchor holes: Four pre-drilled anchor holes let you bolt the 247-pound safe to the floor, removing the option of carrying it off entirely.
• ✓Not burglary- or fire-rated: By design this depository carries no UL burglary or fire certification; choose it for deposit control and theft deterrence, not rated protection.

Cash Management & Workflow

• ✓Two independent combination locks: Each chamber opens on its own mechanical combination dial, letting a manager and a clerk hold separate access without sharing a code.
• ✓Front-loading mailbox slot: The mailbox-style deposit door accepts drops without opening the safe, so staff can deposit cash they cannot retrieve.
• ✓Sized deposit hopper: The 3.5 by 10 by 5-inch opening feeds a 5.5 by 10 by 11-inch hopper, handling envelopes, cash bags, and bundled bills.
• ✓Separated compartments: One compartment has no access to the deposit chute, keeping accumulated cash isolated from the active drop side for cleaner handoffs.
• ✓Dual interior capacity: The right chamber holds 2.65 cubic feet and the left about 2.0, splitting storage between two roles or two shifts.

Ideal Buyer & Use Cases

The MFL2731CC suits convenience stores, restaurants, and route collections that need two-user deposit control in one footprint, measuring 27.25 by 30.75 by 21 inches and weighing 247 pounds. Its dual independently locked chambers let deposits and stored cash stay separate while staff drop funds they cannot reach.

If you need only a single drop point, the smaller front-load MFL2714C ($615) or MFL2714E ($605) cover one compartment. For a similar dual-chamber build with electronic keypads instead of dials, see the MFL2731EE ($1,385); the double-door MFL3020CC ($1,299) offers an alternate two-compartment layout.
