Abstract
A lightweight safe having an unique door mechanism is disclosed. The lightweight safe has a front opening with a recessed door frame to accommodate a recessed door having dead-bolts which are positioned behind one edge of the door frame when the door is in a closed position and movable locking bolts which may be locked behind an opposed edge of the door frame when the door is in a locked condition. The opening mechanism involves the use of a locking shaft having a pair of roll pins which interact with a handle lever to provide a smooth acting opening mechanism and to provide shear means in the event the handle of the safe is forced when the safe is in a locked condition.
