Prop Safe

This prop safe was built for a recent theatre production. The top sign is hinged on the top and folds down for transport. A steel rod that drops inside the safe supports the sign when it is up.

The safe is made of timber with swivel castors attached to steel support plates on the base. Shaped timber blocks decorate the tops of the plates where they protrude from the sides of the safe.

To minimise mechanical problems with locks and latches a simple magnetic latch was used on the door. This avoids any potential for locks catching or failing to open during a performance.
