Our safe
deposit boxes are located in vaults. During normal opining hours,
the main vault door is open with the exception of a day-gate, which
is kept locked. When a customer requests access to their box, one
of the tellers retrieves the key to the day-gate and the master safe
deposit box key and assists the customer in retrieving their box.
The current procedure at encourages our tellers to escort the customer
with their box out of the vault back into the lobby for a short walk
to a small office where they can examine their contents.
It has been proposed that our customers, many of whom express a desire
to conduct their business in the vault, remain in the vault with their
valuables behind the closed and locked day-gate. This would provide
the customer a secure space to conduct their business and eliminate
the risk of entering a public area with their box.
When you rent a safe deposit box, you'll most likely be presented
with two keys. Only persons authorized by you will be allowed to access
the safe deposit box. This means an employee of the safe will request
identification before allowing access to the safe deposit box. Anyone
not on the list of approved persons will be denied access.
