ABSTRACT:
A water-resistant liner insert for a safe is provided. The safe includes top and bottom elements pivotally coupled with one another to define an interior compartment when in a closed position. The liner insert may be coupled with one of the top and bottom elements. The liner insert includes a liner insert body and a resilient gasket. The liner insert body includes a peripheral edge that conforms in shape to interface surfaces on each of the top and bottom elements. The resilient gasket conforms in shape to the peripheral edge of the liner insert body and is coupled with the peripheral edge of the liner insert body. The gasket is configured to be in sealable contact with the interface surfaces of the top and bottom elements when the safe is in the closed position to substantially prevent water from entering the interior compartment of the safe.
