Abstract: An under counter safe for securing items and providing quick access includes upper and lower sections forming an interior cavity, with the upper section attachable to the underside of a countertop, desk, or other surface. A linkage mechanism may connect the upper and lower sections, allowing the lower section to be raised or lowered with respect to the upper section to allow access to the interior cavity. A dual locking mechanism may secure the lower section to the upper mechanism at two points, and a release mechanism may simultaneously disengage both locking points to allow access. The release mechanism may be manually or electronically activated.

Abstract: A system for securing a protected area (such as an internal compartment of a safe) by locking an operable opening (such as a door) in a closed position. The invention comprises a wireless lock system that may include an input apparatus located on the outside of the protected area that communicates wirelessly with other components of the lock system located inside the protected area. Various wireless technologies may be employed including, for example, infrared communication.
