Bolt Retention System for a Safe
A locking bolt retaining mechanism for a safe is provided. The safe includes a door pivotally coupled with an enclosure housing, at least one locking bolt, a lock actuator operationally connected with the locking bolt to move it between extended and retracted positions, and a lock for preventing the lock actuator from moving the locking bolt to the retracted position. The bolt retaining system comprises a bracket guide including a guide member and an engagement member coupled to the door, and a bracket arm connected to the locking bolt. The bracket arm is slidably disposed between the guide member and engagement member of the bracket guide. Upon occurrence of an engagement event, the bracket arm engages the engagement member of the bracket guide to prevent the locking bolt from moving from the extended position thereby preventing disengagement of the locking bolt from the at least one bolt receiving aperture.
