Ideal for hotels with minimal space in the guestroom, the new laptop-compatible
On-Wall unit mounts easily in the open or hidden to secure guest valuables
in closets, cupboards and armoires 
.
PARIS � MAY 19, 2008 -� Technologically speaking, the new Xtra On-Wall Safe by Elsafe is a true work of art, especially for hotels struggling with limited space in its guestrooms.  Whether mounted in plain sight or hidden inside furniture or closets, the Xtra On-Wall Safe meets the same security standards and uses the same electronic platform as all of Elsafe�s Xtra series safe models to provide the ultimate in guest convenience and asset protection.

�Due to rising real estate costs, guestrooms are getting smaller � especially in major city-center hotels,� said Pascal Metivier, President of ASSA ABLOY Hospitality EMEA and Latin America. �This is ironic considering that today�s travelers are carrying more valuables than ever before � especially expensive personal and business electronics such as laptops, Blackberry�s and other mobile devices � and more technologies are being installed in the room to enhance the guest experience. 

�As the world leader in providing in-room electronic safes to hotels, we recognized that it was time to develop an in-room safe that maximizes limited space yet provides the same reliability and tamper-proof security that Elsafe is known for around the globe,� he said. �Our solution is the new Xtra On-Wall Safe, designed to mount just about anywhere � on the main guestroom wall or inside an armoire or closet � and accommodate any size laptop on the market today.�

Because the Xtra On-Wall safe is at eye level to most guests, it is more likely to be used than hotel safes that are less visible in the guestroom, he said. It is also more accessible and easier to use, because the guest does not have to bend down or walk into a closet to operate.

Similar to the newly released Xtra Drawer Safe by Elsafe which fits comfortably into a cupboard, armoire, closet or drawer, the Xtra On-Wall Safe features: anti-tamper labyrinths to offer the highest protection against manipulation, hydraulic door closer to prevent injury/damage, easy external battery change without having to open the safe thus saving time and money, and a solid one-piece construction that enhances overall unit security and eliminates access to vital components.
