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.
