Custom Depository Safes

Depository safe are already convenient by nature.  But often, specific needs require something different than the standard fare.  With a customized depository safe you can be certain that your specific needs will be met.  Please see below for guidelines, restrictions and general info on customizing depository safes.

Requirements for a Quote

Please be aware that we require any Request for a Custom Quote to be submitted in writing from a qualified dealer.  There must be a sketch of the safe with the appropriate dimensions indicated on the sketch.  This will help prevent misunderstanding.  Please be aware that the sketch doesn't have to be perfect or dimensionally proportional, but we need something legible enough to determine all the appropriate dimensions and specifications.

Dimension Changes

• Generally, when specifying any dimension changes it is important to provide either the internal or external dimensions.  We will calculate the appropriate unprovided dimensions. 
• When specifying outside dimensions, it is important to note whether you want the external depth to include or exclude the dial and handle. 
• It is ok to specify a standard production model and simply ask us to increase a certain dimension by a set amount.  Generally, we call this "stretching" the safe.
• Please be aware that some dimensions may not be available if they make the safe unstable or unusable.  For example, the width of the safe can only be reduced so much until there is no more room for the boltwork on the door. 

Custom Slots, Loaders & Hoppers

• Slots, loader and hoppers can be made to a variety of specifications, styles and sizes.  However, certain specifications or sizes may void the Hayman Gaurantee if it is determined that the size or specification makes the safe unsecure.  This can occur with slots if they are too large or with hoppers and loaders if there isn't enough room in the safe to build the necessary anti-fishing mechanisms.
• Often it is easiest to take an existing loader and "stretch" the dimensions by simply adding a specific amount to the height or width (in the case of a loader) or width and depth (in the case of a hopper).
• It is possible to build a dual-loading (front and rear loading) safe, provided the safe is large enough.
• We've made various designs aside from the standard slot, loader or hopper.  If you got an idea for a loader that you want built on a safe, just let us know and we'll work with you to build it for you.

Thru-the-wall Chutes

Rear loading thru-the-wall chutes are a very common request.  When requesting a quote for a chute, please either provide the wall thickness the chute is supposed to go through or the the length you want the chute to be.  If the chute is to be at an angle, please provide the angle you desire.  You will also need to specify the kind of chute you want.  In general there are two ways to create a chute:

1. The easiest and cheapest chute is simple an extension on the back of the safe that extends perpindicular to the floor.  The loader itself is still located on the back of the safe (not at the end of the chute) so that anyone who needs to make a deposit simply reaches through the wall to pull down the loader.  This works when the wall thickness is not too great.
2. The second way is to have the chute at an angle with the loader at the end of the chute.  In this case, the loader is flush with the wall and the deposite slides down the chute into the safe.  This is the more expensive option but provides greater flexibility.

Multiple Door Options

While many of our depository safes already come with double-door options, you may want to modify or add doors to meet your needs.  Here are some options and guidelines.

• The easiest option is to to take an existing door and "stretch" it by adding to it's width or height.  You can "stretch" the height and width of each door separately.  However, if the widths of the doors don't match, it may be more expensive that simply having all the door the same size.
• You may specify which compartment you wish to have the deposit dropped into for front and rear loader.  Hoppers will almost invariably be dropped into the top compartment.
• You may have as many doors as you wish so long as the doors are tall enough and wide enough to accomodate the boltwork.

Inner Compartments and Shelving

Inner compartments and shelves both can be arranged in just about any configuration so long as everything fits inside the safe.  Here are some things to consider:

• Shelves can be fixed, removable or adjustable.  A fixed shelf will be welded into place.  A removable shelf will utilize angle-iron welded to the sides of the safe.  Adjustable shelves use two pieces of track welded to each side of the compartment.
• Inner compartments can be with or without a door.  If there is a door,  you will need to specify the lock and whether you want the door to have boltwork (if it's large enough).  The most common locks are usually a safety deposit lock (dual nose key lock) or a medeco single key lock. 

Lead Times

• The standard lead time for a quote is 2-3 days after the specifications of the safe is finalized (which may require multiple communications).
• The standard production time for a custom depository is 1-3 weeks, depending on it's complexity.
• The lead time for large volume orders will be quoted separately.
