Abstract
Means and method for securing, in a predetermined location within a housing of a substantially stationary safe or the like and controlling access to the interior of, a portable currency or document depository having a slidable door that is normally locked closed. After insertion of the depository at said location, a barrier arm is rotated down to block removal of the depository and rotate a member into operative engagement with the door. A key irremovably carried by said arm is then insertable to unlock the door. The door is now opened by moving the member translationally one way, allowing access to the interior of the depository. The member must be moved the opposite way to close the door, and the door must be relocked by the key before the key can be withdrawn and the barrier arm rotated up to permit removal of the now relocked depository.
