An improved safety deposit box system includes a casing having parallel vertical side walls and parallel horizontal top and bottom walls. A plurality of vertical casing partitions and horizontal casing shelves within the side, top and bottom walls define a plurality of compartments. A die cast frame is mounted to the front of the casing. The frame includes horizontal frame shelves forwardly disposed of the respective casing shelves; top and bottom walls; and vertical walls forwardly disposed of the vertical casing walls and partitions. The vertical walls of the frame are positioned so that one of said vertical partitions or side walls of the casing adjacent to each compartment is accessible. The vertical frame walls also include latch receptacles. The latch receptacles are positioned in each compartment opposite from the accessible casing wall. The accessible vertical casing partition or side wall in each compartment is fixably attached to a first leaf of a hinge. The hinge has a second leaf fixably attached to a door movable to open and close the compartment adjacent the hinge. The door incorporates a lock for locking it in a closed position. The lock latches in the receptacle incorporated into the vertical frame wall of the compartment to secure the door in the closed position.
