Product Overview
Introducing the Phoenix GR355, a brilliantly simple solution for managing cash in any customer-facing business. This compact and robust under counter cash deposit safe is designed to sit discreetly beneath your till point, providing a secure place for staff to deposit banknotes throughout the day.

- Pro: The purely mechanical design means no batteries or codes to fail you.
- Con: It's purpose-built for notes, so the deposit slot isn't suitable for coins.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
'The Grantham Baker' in Lincoln, a popular artisan bakery, needed a better way to manage cash at their two busy till points without constant trips to the back-office safe, especially during the hectic weekend markets.
"We used to worry constantly about the amount of cash building up in the tills, particularly on a Saturday. This little box is brilliant. Staff just pop the fifties and twenties in, and only myself or the shift manager can get them out. It's simple, secure, and has made our cashing up process feel much safer."
Robert Hughes – Owner
The bakery has since reported that till discrepancies have dropped by over 90%, and they have greater peace of mind during their busiest trading periods.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Choose a discreet but accessible spot under a sturdy wooden counter or shelf.
- Use the supplied metal fixing plate as a template to mark where to drill the pilot holes.
- Securely fasten the plate using the bolts provided, ensuring it's completely firm.
- Slide the safe onto the mounting plate and use the first key to lock it into position.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe the painted steel exterior with a soft, damp cloth to keep it clean.
- Keep the two sets of keys separate and store the spares in a very safe place.
- Avoid over-stuffing the compartment, as this can cause notes to jam the mechanism.
- A quick puff of lock lubricant (like graphite powder) into the keyholes once a year will keep them operating smoothly.

Explore more from PhoenixWhy Two Keys Are Better Than One: Understanding the Dual Lock System
Ever wondered why this safe has two different locks and sets of keys? It’s a clever bit of design for extra security. One key is for the mounting plate, which bolts the entire safe to your counter. The second key is for the door, which gives you access to the cash inside. Think of it like a postbox: the first key physically bolts the 'postbox' to the pavement so no one can walk off with it. The second key is the 'postman's key', used only to open the door and collect the mail inside. This dual system means a staff member can't simply unbolt the whole unit and take it. It ensures the secure under counter cash safe stays put, and only an authorised manager can retrieve its contents.
Who Should Buy This?
- Cafés & Coffee Shops: Perfect for securing takings from the morning rush before they can be moved to the back office safe.
- Pubs & Bars: Lets bar staff quickly deposit high-value notes during a busy shift, keeping the till float low.
- Independent Retailers: A simple way to protect daily cash in boutiques, convenience stores, and corner shops.
- Takeaway Restaurants: Keeps cash from delivery drivers and walk-ins secure during peak hours, reducing counter-side risks.
