Charon High Security Underfloor Deposit Safe £17.5K

High-Security Underfloor Deposit Safe | Up to £17,500 Cash / £175,000 Valuables | Anti-Fish Deposit System The Phoenix Charon Underfloor Deposit Safe combines high-security protection with the additional security of discreet, concealed installation. Designed to be permanently installed within a solid concrete floor, the Charon provides secure storage for cash and valuables while remaining hidden from everyday view. Both models incorporate a dedicated deposit facility, allowing cash or other suitable items to be deposited into the safe without opening the main safe door – making the Charon particularly well suited to commercial environments where secure cash collection is required. Available in two security levels, the UF0913KD provides a recommended £10,000 cash / £100,000 valuables rating, while the higher-security UF0973KD increases this to £17,500 cash / £175,000 valuables. Discreet Underfloor Security Unlike a conventional freestanding safe, the Charon is designed to be permanently installed beneath floor level within solid concrete. Once correctly installed, the safe body is concealed beneath the floor, leaving only the secure neck and access door available from above. A suitable floor covering or other interior feature can then be used to keep the safe discreetly out of sight. This combination of concealment and substantial physical protection makes an underfloor safe particularly attractive where high-value contents need to be stored securely without advertising the location of the safe. Secure Deposit Facility Both the UF0913KD and UF0973KD incorporate a dedicated deposit tube, allowing cash or other suitable items to be deposited directly into the safe without opening the main security door. An integrated anti-fish device is designed to prevent deposited items from being retrieved back through the deposit tube. A selection of plastic deposit capsules is supplied, providing a convenient method of transferring cash or other small items into the secure compartment below. This makes the Charon particularly suitable for businesses where staff need to make secure deposits without being given access to the contents already held inside the safe. High-Security VdS Class I Key Lock Both Charon models are secured by a high-security double-bitted VdS Class I key lock, with two keys supplied. Traditional mechanical key locking provides reliable access without reliance on batteries or electronic components – particularly appropriate for an underfloor safe that may remain unused for extended periods. Substantial Door Protection The Charon's distinctive round security door has been engineered to provide substantial resistance against physical attack. The door incorporates heavy steel construction together with Anti-Blowpipe (ABP) protection, while hardened components provide additional protection around critical areas of the locking mechanism. The substantial round-door design also allows the main security opening to remain relatively compact while providing access to the considerably larger storage cube beneath. Robust Underfloor Construction The Charon's body is constructed from high-quality steel with continuously welded seams and has been specifically designed for installation within a solid concrete floor. Once correctly installed, the surrounding concrete becomes an integral part of the safe's overall protection. This makes professional or suitably experienced installation particularly important to ensure that the safe achieves the intended level of security. Fully Flocked Interior Inside, the Charon features a fully flocked storage compartment, providing a softer surface for jewellery, watches and other valuable possessions. Both deposit models provide approximately 25 litres of usable internal capacity, with an internal cube measuring approximately 294 x 294 x 294mm. SafeFort Recommendation The Phoenix Charon UF0913KD and UF0973KD are particularly strong choices for businesses requiring secure cash deposits combined with discreet, high-security storage. The deposit facility allows authorised staff to place cash or other suitable items into the safe without gaining access to previously deposited contents, while the anti-fish mechanism provides additional protection against attempted retrieval through the deposit tube. For most applications requiring substantial underfloor security, the UF0913KD provides an impressive £10,000 cash / £100,000 valuables rating. Where higher-value contents are being protected, the UF0973KD provides the same practical 25-litre capacity and deposit functionality but increases the recommended protection to £17,500 cash / £175,000 valuables. For retail, hospitality and other cash-handling environments where concealment, controlled depositing and high physical security are priorities, the Phoenix Charon provides a particularly effective solution.
