Frequently Asked Questions
How does the electronic lock on the FD-3020E compare to the FD-3020C dial lock?
The FD-3020E features a UL Listed Type 1 S&G digital electronic keypad that allows managers to unlock the safe in seconds and change access PINs on demand without a technician. The FD-3020C utilizes a mechanical combination dial lock.
Does the FD-3020E come with shelves?
Yes, the FD-3020E includes one removable interior shelf, allowing you to customize the internal 3.65 cu. ft. vault space for coin trays, cash drawers, or documentation.
What is an anti-fish baffle on a depository safe?
An anti-fish baffle consists of internal sawtooth metal guards in the deposit chute. It allows cash bags and envelopes to drop smoothly into the main vault while preventing thieves from fishing deposits back out with wires, tape, or hooks.
What happens if someone tries to drill into the S&G keypad lock?
The lock and internal relocker are shielded by a drill and ballistic-resistant hardplate. If a drill penetrates the housing, the internal spring-loaded relocker automatically fires a secondary bolt to deadlock the safe shut.

The FD-3020E measures 30" High x 20" Wide x 20" Deep on the exterior and weighs 198 lbs, providing substantial weight and capacity for commercial security needs.
