Safe deposit boxes
Safe deposit boxes are high-security individual compartments designed exclusively for installation inside certified vault rooms. They are intended for institutional use by banks, financial entities, and secure custody facilities that offer protected storage services to clients or internal departments.
At Arcas Gruber, we manufacture vault-based safe deposit box systems engineered for long-term asset protection, controlled access, and full compliance with European security standards.
What Are Safe Deposit Boxes?
A safe deposit box is an individual reinforced compartment installed inside a secure vault environment. Each unit is physically separated, independently locked, and designed to protect valuables against unauthorized access, theft, and manipulation.
Unlike domestic safes, safe deposit boxes are not standalone products. They form part of a larger security ecosystem that includes certified vault rooms, access control systems, and professional supervision.
Certified for Institutional Use
All Arcas Gruber safe deposit boxes are manufactured in compliance with the UNE 108-115 Level B standard, which certifies resistance against:
- Picking and manipulation
- Forced extraction attempts
- Mechanical attack on locking systems
This certification is essential for banks and financial institutions offering secure custody services.
Installation Environment
Safe deposit boxes are always installed within controlled and reinforced environments such as:
- Certified vault rooms
- Grade IV and higher armored enclosures
- High-security banking vault infrastructure
The vault itself provides the primary physical protection, while the deposit boxes ensure individual segregation and access control.
System Configurations
Arcas Gruber offers modular and fully customizable deposit box systems adapted to each project:
- Individual client boxes with unique user keys
- Dual-control systems (client key + master key)
- Drawer-based or vertical compartment layouts
- Multi-size box combinations within the same module
Optional Access and Security Features
- Biometric identification systems
- Electronic access logging and audit trails
- Alarmed compartments
- Fire-resistant internal treatments
- Keyless or staff-controlled opening protocols
What Is Stored in a Safe Deposit Box?
- Legal documents and contracts
- Precious metals and jewellery
- Heirlooms and collectibles
- Cash reserves and bearer instruments
What Should Not Be Stored
Items required for immediate or emergency access should not be stored in safe deposit boxes, as access is subject to institutional procedures and opening hours.
Installation and Maintenance
All safe deposit box systems are installed by certified Arcas Gruber technicians and adapted to the structural and security requirements of the vault room.
We also provide:
- Technical inspections
- Maintenance programs
- Compliance verification for banking regulations
