PARIS � MAY 19 � As guestroom size diminishes, especially among city
center hotels due to rising real estate costs, maximizing in-room space
is critical. Elsafe, the world leader in-room electronic hotel safes in
more than 179 countries, unveils its new Xtra Drawer Safe that frees up
space in the main cupboard or closet.
 �When
it comes to guestroom security, Elsafe has always been �the choice� of
hoteliers around the globe,� said Pascal Metivier, President of ASSA ABLOY
Hospitality EMEA and Latin America. �Now we�ve made that choice even easier
with the new Xtra Drawer Safe by Elsafe � advanced security at an affordable
price and now at a compact, convenient size to fit just about anywhere
while remaining large enough to hold a variety of laptop sizes.�
 Because
it requires minimal room, the Xtra Drawer Safe by Elsafe is an ideal solution
for hotels that prefer to install the safe inside drawers, he said. The
unit fits comfortably into a cupboard, armoire, closet or drawer, and meets
the same security standards and electronic platform shared by all Elsafe
Xtra series safes.
�Direct customer feedback from our �We Listen� campaign confirmed that
space for equipment in the guestroom is an issue � especially when guests
also expect a comfortable workstation and minibar in the room,� Metivier
said. �With guestrooms getting smaller, it becomes painfully obvious
why hoteliers requested � and we designed � the Xtra Drawer Safe.�
To make the safe adaptable to all types and sizes of drawers, the door
hinge is moved 75 millimeters forward from the back of the box to ensure
it clears the furniture and prevents furniture damage. In addition, a 4-millimeter
thick security wire is standard and can be fixed inside the safe and fastened
to the furniture for additional security.
