An electronic safe and hinge combination is addressed in which hinges are integrally formed from a door plate and safe wall plate, such as a safe side wall. No exterior welds are employed so that a strong and aesthetically pleasing fascia results. Additionally, a hinge and removable hinge pin arrangement is provided which allows the safe body to be constructed separately from the doors and mated together during final assembly, as well as, facilitating repair of a damaged door and retrofitting one door for another for an in the field upgrade. An electronic drop safe is described employing two or more doors and mounted to a safe having a sidewall with an integrally formed hinge.

A secure and cost-effective smart safe or secure vault apparatus construction is provided. The smart safe includes a high security hinge designed to protect against intrusion by pocketing the hinge behind the doors and securing the hinge dowel to plates affixed to the doors. The door construction features an envelope passageway door and slide-out user interface cluster with primary and secondary customer-facing user interfaces.

A slidable locking device is described that enables rotational movement like a hinge and also provides for selective locking. The slidable locking device may include a fixed hinge part, a rotatable hinge part, and a slidable hinge part. The fixed hinge part may include a first set of protrusions and openings. The slidable hinge part may also include a second corresponding set of protrusions and openings. The rotatable hinge part may also include a third corresponding set of protrusions and openings. The slidable hinge part may be slidably coupled to the fixed hinge part. The rotating hinge part may be rotatably coupled to the fixed hinge part. As the slidable hinge part moves longitudinally with respect to the fixed hinge part, the second set of protrusions and gaps alternatingly align with the first set of protrusions and gaps. This action may define a locked position and an unlocked position.

A multi-axis door hinge system for a container, the system comprising: a door for enclosing a door frame of the container; a first hinge set, comprising one or more hinge(s) configured along a first hinge axis, mounted to or proximate an external side of the door frame; a second hinge set, comprising one or more hinge(s) configured along a second hinge axis, operatively mounted to an internal side of the door such that the door is rotatable about the second hinge axis, wherein the second hinge set is operatively coupled with the first hinge set so that the second hinge set is rotatable about the first hinge axis, thereby allowing both lateral and rotational movements of the door relative to the door frame.
