Certified Safes for Supermarkets

Supermarkets and large retail stores require dedicated security solutions to manage daily cash flow safely, efficiently and without disrupting operations. Certified safes are an essential part of any physical security and asset control system for these environments.

At Arcas Gruber, we offer state-of-the-art safes specifically designed for the retail and food sectors. All our models comply with the UNE EN 1143-1:2019 standard, providing proven resistance against mechanical, thermal and electronic attacks.

We recommend a minimum of Grade 3 certified safes and, for high cash volume environments, Grade 4 safes. Both levels meet insurer requirements and internal security standards applied to supermarket chains, regional retailers and large-scale franchises.

What Type of Safe Does a Supermarket Need?

From our experience in the retail industry, the most suitable models are monoblock safes with anti-fishing deposit slots. These safes are designed for quick and secure cash deposits without constantly opening the main compartment.

This dual-compartment system provides two key advantages:

Cash security: deposited notes drop into a secure compartment inaccessible without authorised access.
Operational efficiency: staff can make deposits quickly during shifts without exposing the entire safe’s contents.

Key Features of Safes for Supermarkets

Anti-fishing deposit slot: prevents retrieval of deposited cash.
Monoblock body: single-piece welded construction for maximum strength.
Dual interior compartments: separate cash by daily takings and higher-value assets.
Certified electronic locks: with time delay, dual user, duress codes and timed access control.
Reinforced floor anchoring: anti-pull bolts and internal reinforcement.

Integration with Management and Surveillance Systems

In modern supermarkets, safes must integrate with electronic control and monitoring:

Opening and vibration sensors.
Connection to external alarm systems.
Remote status monitoring over internal networks.
CCTV compatibility for checkout or cash office areas.

For stores that count tills or close shifts directly into the safe, we also provide safes with removable trays and configurable compartments.

Design Adapted to Point of Sale

Our safes are available in multiple sizes, depths and door configurations (front or top-opening), allowing visible installation near tills or discreet placement in back offices, storage rooms or technical areas. We also offer custom finishes and modular solutions for compact stores, mobile setups or self-checkout zones.

Benefits for Chains and Franchises

Standardised equipment across all locations.
Reduced internal losses and better cash control.
Faster and safer cash handling during shifts.
Improved insurance compliance and lower premiums.
