The Advantage of Stainless Steel Drop Boxes

All of the above describe the major benefits of using Stainless Steel in our exterior drop boxes and returns.

Stainless Steel is an alloy that contains 10.5 to 11 percent Chromium. It contains a thin layer of oxides that protect the metal. If this layer suffers a breakdown, it’s able to repair itself and continue to protect the metal.

Stainless Steel Drop Boxes do not readily corrode, rust, or stain and are easy to clean and maintain.

The Advantages

Impact, Wear, and Abrasion Resistant

Stainless steel drop boxes have excellent fatigue, impact, wear, and abrasion resistance. Due to its unique self-healing property, if the surface is scratched or damaged otherwise, this thin layer, which is only a few atoms thick, immediately rebuilds with the assistance of oxygen from air or water. This is the reason why stainless steel does not require any coating or other corrosion protection to remain bright and shiny even after decades of use. It is hygienic due to the smooth and minimally porous surface.

Recyclable & Sustainable Resource

Stainless Steel is 100% recyclable. Over 65% of each drop box from American Security Cabinets is recyclable. Stainless Steel has a very low carbon footprint. Recycling stainless steel saves enough energy to power about 18 million households for a year.

Fire Resistant

Stainless Steel is known for its high temperature oxidation resistance. The grade of stainless steel used for our drop boxes can be used to resist scaling at temperatures over 1800° F.

Low Maintenance

Stainless Steel Drop Boxes are more resistant to wear and abrasion than aluminum or other materials. The surface can be cared for regularly with a basic stainless steel cleaner. The brushed stainless steel surface of our drop boxes makes it easy to remove graffiti and other harsh elements. All you have to do is use a scouring pad to remove the graffiti. No harsh chemical cleaners are needed.

Long Lasting

An interior drop box from American Security Cabinets can last for a lifetime, forever. All it requires is a quick polish here and there with a stainless steel cleaner to keep it looking brand new! Our exterior drop boxes last over OVER 20 years on average. Rest assured that your exterior drop box will give you years upon years of use and can easily be polished using a stainless steel cleaner to keep it looking new.

Lustrous

Stainless Steel makes for an attractive appearance for any object the material is used for. It can be polished to a satin or mirror finish with a basic stainless steel cleaner.
