Abstract
Abstract A valuables container having a fireproof door is slidably fitted into a cylindrical fireproof chamber of a safe. A dial and cylinder locks are affixed to a pedestal upon which the cylindrical chamber rests, rather than being affixed to the door so that no flame enters into the container through the locks in case of fire, whereby the resistance to fire of the safe is much improved.
