Safe Deposit Box Systems: Why They Offer the Highest Level of Security?
Safe deposit box systems consist of secure installations of individual lockers placed inside a certified strong room or vault. Across Europe, banks and private operators rely on our systems to protect high-value items such as gold, jewellery, legal documents, bonds, and other sensitive materials. The system uses multi-layered authentication — including a crypto memory card, PIN code, and biometric scan — to control access and ensure the highest standard of protection.
As a leading provider of safe deposit box systems in Europe, Gunnebo offers complete solutions for banks, credit unions, and private vault operators. Our portfolio includes safes, vault doors, strong rooms, user authentication technology, and management software — all designed to work seamlessly together for end-to-end security.
There are two main categories of safe deposit box systems:
- Conventional mechanical lockers, usually available during business hours. In the Gunnebo Safe Storage Portfolio this would be the SafeStore 3000F or the SafeStore 2000C.
- Automated systems using robotic technology for 24/7 self-service access. In the Gunnebo Safe Storage Portfolio this would be The Safe Store Auto Range.
Even conventional systems can be upgraded with electronic locks and automated authentication, enabling secure access at any time — combining traditional reliability with modern convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Gunnebo strong room and vault doors solutions are an essential part of this secure system. Our strong rooms are designed to shield physical attacks, core drills, and explosives, and are certified by the European Certification Body ECB-S in accordance with the EN 1143-1 standard. This system uses multiple layers of authentication, including a crypto memory card, pin code, and biometric scan, to secure user access.
In this way, Gunnebo safe deposit box systems provide the highest level of security for the storage of valuable items. Since no safety deposit locker can be 100% secure against theft, fire, or flood, it is still recommended that the box’s contents be insured. Insurers recognise the ECB-S certification system and take it into account when calculating premiums.
What can you put in a safe deposit box?
A safe deposit box is a secure way to store valuable items like gold, cash, jewelry, securities, bonds, and important documents. Banks and other financial institutions may ban the storage of weapons, drugs, and other illegal or dangerous items. When renting a safe deposit locker from a financial institution or private service provider, customers are advised to always check the terms and conditions.
Who can access a safe deposit box?
Depending on the terms and conditions of the service provider, multiple individuals can have access to a secure deposit box. In such cases, individuals who have agreed to share a box are given keys as co-tenants. The process of adding a new user to a service may require them to visit the registration office, provide identification, and sign documents agreeing to be included as a co-tenant.
In fully automated solutions, new tenants will receive an additional access card, a pin code and a key to the box itself. For systems that feature biometric authentication, a biometric scan of any additional tenant must also be carried out. It is always advisable to check the local service provider’s terms and conditions.
