That edge is outwardly turned to prevent the insertion of a pry bar between the door and the hook of the closing stile. The pocket has a ramp face which guides the closing edge of the door during the slide open and slide closed phases. In different variants, a ramp face is provided on the door also; a second ramp face is provided on the hook of the closing stile; a door seat is incorporated into ramp. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A safe of the swing and slide type having comprising: a safe door including an outward face, an inward face, a closing edge and an opening edge, said closing edge being turned outwardly towards the exterior of the safe, and said safe door being movable between an open position and a closed position; a closing stile for providing a landing surface for the safe door; and a door pocket for housing the closing edge of the door, said outwardly turned closing edge denying access to the closing edge by a pry tool inserted between the door and the closing stile. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) A safe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closing stile further comprises: an abutting portion for abutting the outward face of the door to in the closed position; and wherein the pocket has a ramp surface adjacent the landing surface, said landing surface contacting the closing edge as the door slides to the closed position follows, and wherein passage of the closing edge over the ramp surface forces the front face of the door against the abutting portion of the closing stile to lock the door in the closed position. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) A safe as claimed in claim 1, wherein the closing edge is a flange. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) A safe as claimed in claim 3, wherein the door pocket has an inclined surface for engaging the door as the door moves towards the closed position, and the abutting portion of the closing stile is spaced from the inclined wall to enable the door to pass between the abutting portion and the inclined wall as the door is moved to the closed position. ### Claim 5 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein the ramp surface is an inclined wall. ### Claim 6 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein the abutting portion is a hook section. ### Claim 7 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, further comprising a fire foam seal located on the abutting portion and lying between the door and the abutting portion. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein the closing stile further comprises a seat operatively connected to said ramp surface for bracing the closing edge of the door from a frontal force exerted on the door. ### Claim 9 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein said abutting portion further includes an exit ramp spaced from the ramp surface for guiding the door on movement towards the opening position. ### Claim 10 (depends on 9) A safe as claimed in claim 9, wherein the outwardly turned closing edge lies substantially at 90° to the door. ### Claim 11 (depends on 9) A safe as claimed in claim 9, wherein the outwardly turned closing edge has an internal corner and an external corner and the external corner subtends about 90° and the internal corner subtends an obtuse angle. ### Claim 12 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein the portion of the closing stile has a free edge and the outwardly turned closing edge of the door has an incline for contacting the free edge when the door commences to slide towards the open position. ### Claim 13 (depends on 2) A safe as claimed in claim 2, wherein the opening edge of the door is outwardly turned. ### Claim 14 (depends on 13) A safe as claimed in claim 13, further comprising an opening stile having a hook formation; and wherein the outwardly turned opening edge of the door has a complementary hook formation, said opening stile and opening edge cooperating to resist a frontal exerted on the door when closed.
