Abstract
A slim-profile safe has a safe body that defines an interior space, and a safe door that is moveable between a closed position for securing the interior space and an open position for accessing the interior space. The safe door includes a fore portion and a recess portion that is offset from the fore portion by a recess angle. The fore portion defines a maximum depth of the safe, and the recess portion provides a reduced depth portion of the safe for the presentation of external hardware for operating a lock that releasably locks the safe door in the closed position, the recess portion being sufficiently offset from the fore portion such that the external hardware is positioned entirely sub-flush to a plane that extends parallel to the fore portion.

A safe, comprising:
- a safe body defining an interior space, the safe body having a back wall, a first side wall and a second side wall, a length of the second side wall, as measured from the back wall to a forward edge of the second side wall, being less than a length of the first side wall, as measured from the back wall to a forward edge of the first side wall, at least a portion of the second side wall being parallel to the first side wall;
- and
- a safe door that is moveable between a closed position for securing the interior space and an open position for accessing the interior space, the safe door comprising a fore portion and a recess portion, the recess portion being non-parallel to the back wall of the safe body when the safe door is in the closed position, wherein
- the fore portion of the safe door defines a first depth, as measured between a forward-most point of the fore portion and a back wall of the safe body when the safe door is in the closed position, and the recess portion of the safe door defines a second depth, as measured between a rear-most point of the recess portion and the back wall of the safe body when the safe door is in the closed position, the second depth being less than the first depth and
- wherein the fore portion of the safe door comprises a planar outer surface that is parallel to the back wall of the safe body.
