The Challenger M8 In-Room Safe is designed for small spaces without compromising security or convenience. With compact exterior dimensions of 8.50" H x 19.13" W x 13.50" D, this safe is perfect for hotels, cruise cabins, or home offices. Despite its size, it features a heavy-duty motorized locking system with twin steel bolts, an ADA-approved keypad with a large LED display, and the option for guests to use a magnetic stripe card (on the DCT model) for quick access, eliminating the need to remember a PIN code. This model accommodates 17" laptops. 

Engineered for both user-friendliness and security, the Challenger M8 offers an optional Computerized Emergency Unit (CEU) that acts as a password-protected electronic override, a data retrieval tool for up to 200 audit entries, and an emergency power source. If the batteries fail or access issues arise, the safe can still be opened using a high-security mechanical override key, which also logs the event in the audit trail. Additional features such as automatic shutdown after four incorrect attempts, programmable delay before opening, and PIN confirmation settings make this a safe, secure, and customizable solution for any environment.

Designed for long-term reliability, the Challenger M8 model features durable Ferro Coatings that resist scratching and impact. It includes a Velcro-attached carpet interior for easy cleaning, flexible mounting options, and replaceable components—two extras of each critical part are included for fast on-site maintenance. With its advanced features, intuitive operation, and industry-leading 7-year guarantee, the Challenger M8 model is a dependable and secure choice for in-room asset protection.
