ABSTRACT:
The safe is an upwardly opening box-like structure. A door panel has at least one door closure cushioning and delaying apparatus connected to the door panel and to the structure. A locking shelf has at least one slotted port. A locking initiation member has a lower section adjacent a drill resistent reinforcement place. The locking initiation member has a locking tongue that slidingly and releasingly locks into a locking tongue recess in the bolt plate. Locking tabs on the bolt plate extend through the slotted ports and under the lentil support shelf when the bolt plate is rotated to a locked position. At least one position retaining pin in the bolt plate aligns the locking tabs in the slotted ports and to limit lateral and longitudinal movement of the bolt plate. The control handle has a reduced diameter section that breaks when a preselected amount of torque is applied to the shaft. An anti-tamper locking device has a bolt biased to an extended locking position from a retracted release position that projects into a recess on the bolt plate when the anti-tamper device retainer is removed during forced entry thus keeping the rotating bolt plate from being forced to an unlocked position.
