A safety deposit box storage structure comprising: a housing formed from continuous metal sheet, the housing having a back wall and spaced apart side walls. At least one inwardly projecting ridge extends along the inner surface of each side wall. A top wall and a bottom wall are secured to the housing to form a box structure having an open front end. At least one vertical partition is disposed between and parallel to the side walls; the vertical partition being generally flat, and having at least one corrugation formed therein. Each corrugation has a ridge projecting from each side of the partition. A plurality of spaced-apart slots are formed in the ridges. The slots are generally parallel to the top and bottom wall: A plurality of horizontal shelves are provided having lateral edges dimensioned to be received in the slots, the vertical partitions and horizontal shelves defining compartments within the box structure to receive a security box. A door frame is fixedly connectable to the open front end of the housing. The door frame includes a plurality of lockable doors equal in number to the number of compartments defined within the housing.

Modular safe deposit box assembly

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.
