safe deposit box
Secured rental compartment
A safe deposit box is a secure container, typically metal, kept in a bank vault and rented to customers for storing valuables—documents, jewelry, cash, or other items requiring protection from theft or disaster.
The bank holds one key; the renter holds another; both are needed to open the box.
Also called safety deposit box.
