A lock is installed in the main body of the door, this lock also entering the second cavity, only its keyhole or control member being accessible from the inside or outside, the accessibility being effected via slits in the fixed works (wall). The rest of the door is surrounded by a continuous frame lining the walls of the cavities.

Abstract: A cabinet in which the closure or door thereof is rendered less vulnerable to unauthorized tampering which seeks to bypass the lock thereof as a result of the door being latched behind an edge of the cabinet front opening. Thus, opening of the door contemplates a compound movement, i.e. an initial unlatching sliding movement, and then the usual pivotal traverse from its closed into its open position. As a significant improvement, the construction of the within cabinet effectively masks the presence of the structural features which contribute to the door compound movement, whereas this is not the case with prior art cabinet doors and, as a result, such omission in an obvious way, detracts from the effectiveness of the security intended to be gained by the compound door movement.

Abstract: A wall type security box sized to fit between, and to be fixed to, adjacent studs in a wall opening. The box is locked by a lock device in the form of an elongated rod having a key cylinder on one end and screw threads on the other end. After closure of the security box's door, and by manually gripping a key in the lock device's key cylinder, the elongated rod is, first, extended through a grooved bore in the box's face wall on one side of the box's access opening, second, extended through a through bore in the door, and third, rotated into threaded relation with a threaded bore in the box's face wall on an opposite side of the access opening. Preferably these bores are all axially aligned one with the other when the door is closed. The key is then removed to extend the cylinder's spring loaded lugs into latching relation with axial grooves in the grooved bore below the access opening, thereby preventing further rotation of the elongated rod and locking the security box.
