In drawers, especially with separators and inserts, small valuables, various electronic storage media, bank notes and coins can be stored practically.

Drawers count as optionally available inner elements at most of the safes, although with some fire resistant safes a drawer is part of standard delivery.

Drawers have a pull-out feature by their very nature. Usually the rails holding the drawers are to be hung just like shelf supports, so the drawers are relocatable in height. Besides fixed, not relocatable drawers also exist.

Separation and quick overview of the things in the drawer is facilitated by separators and inserts.

Special drawers are also available in grid finish as baskets. These are mainly offered by safe manufaturers as accessories for fire resistant data cabinets.
