Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: Are keys included with the cash box?

A: Yes. Each cash box includes two keys for the built-in cylinder lock—one for regular use and a spare for backup or shared access.

A: The 8” and 10” models typically come with a removable plastic coin tray to help organise coins and notes. The 6” model may vary depending on the supplier—please confirm before purchase if this is essential.

Q3: Can this box be bolted down?

A: These boxes are not designed with pre-drilled holes for bolting down. They are primarily portable and ideal for mobile cash handling. For bolted options, consider a lockable safe or boltable cash drawer.
