Plate-safe construction
Solid steel plate construction throughout — heavier plates than fire-rated safes of similar size, providing exceptional drilling and prying resistance in a compact body.
Plate Safe Series
PS Series High-security commercial and domestic safes
The PS Series is Dominator's compact plate-safe range — designed for applications where exceptional security is required but fire resistance is not. Three models from PS-1 (8L) through PS-3 (55L), all with multi-point bolt work, secondary relocking devices and adaptable lock platforms in a compact, intimidating form factor.
Why PS Series
Engineered where fire isn't the concern.
Multi-point bolt work
2-point (PS-1, PS-2) or 4-point (PS-3) handle-driven bolt work with secondary relocking devices. Universal lock footprint for key, dial or electronic configurations.
$15K cash rating
Insurable cash rating $15,000 across the range. Compact, intimidating form factor for cash-handling environments where fire resistance isn't a primary concern.

Independently tested burglary protection
PS Series safes are built around solid steel plate construction — heavier plate than equivalently-sized fire-rated safes, providing exceptional drilling and prying resistance. Hardened anti-drill plating around the lock and secondary relocking devices that engage if the lock is attacked.
Where fire resistance is not a primary concern, plate safes deliver more burglary protection per litre of internal capacity than fire-rated alternatives.
Insurance ratings (AUD)
PS Series safes carry a $15,000 cash rating in unsupported applications. Where higher ratings are required, the HS Series or DS Series add fire resistance and higher cash ratings:
- Cash rating: $15,000 across the range
- Construction: solid steel plate, multi-point bolt work
PS Series is the right specification when burglary protection matters but fire isn’t a relevant attack vector.

Construction and Security Features
PS Series plate safes are engineered for applications where burglary resistance is the primary concern and fire resistance is not required — yielding more steel and more security per litre than fire-rated alternatives.
Solid plate steel
Heavier plate steel construction than equivalently-sized fire-rated safes — more burglary resistance per litre of capacity.
Handle-driven bolt work
2-point (PS-1, PS-2) or 4-point (PS-3) handle-driven bolt work. Bolts engage simultaneously through a single handle motion.
Hardened anti-drill plating
Hardened steel anti-drill plating around the lock — the primary attack vector on small safes.
Secondary relocking device
Secondary relocking device engages if the lock is attacked — preventing unauthorised retrieval of bolts.
Configurable interior
Single adjustable shelf provides simple internal organisation for cash, documents and jewellery.
Floor or shelf mount
4 internal bolt holes per model — install under-counter, in a cupboard, or floor-mounted.
Universal lock footprint
Standardised lock mounting allows easy conversion between key, combination and electronic lock types.
Textured black paint
Durable textured black paint finish — durable in commercial and domestic environments alike.
Available in base mounting
PS Series safes are right-hand-hinge standard. 4 internal bolt holes per model allow flexible mounting — under-counter, in-cupboard or floor-fixed. Confirm install location with your dealer at order.

DS Series Specification Tips
Choose PS over HS when fire isn't relevant
Where the storage environment isn’t subject to a meaningful fire risk (e.g. inside a fire-resistant building, in a vault, or for short-term cash float storage), PS Series provides more burglary protection per litre than the equivalent HS Series fire-rated safe.
PS-3 — standard small-business spec
PS-3 (510×380×380mm, 55L) is the standard small-business plate-safe specification — fits cash floats, daily takings and till drawers in a compact footprint with 4-point bolt work.
Lock by access frequency
Frequent daily access — Tecnosicurezza Pulse 2 electronic. Weekly to monthly — Group 2 mechanical dial. Occasional only — Ross 700 key lock for the most cost-efficient option.
Lifetime Initiative
Power for Life Free batteries for the lifetime of your safe.
Every DS Series safe with an electronic or biometric lock is covered by our Power for Life initiative. Once a year, you can redeem a free replacement battery at any authorised Dominator dealer — no receipts, no conditions, for as long as you own the safe.
It's our way of making sure your safe stays accessible for decades, not just years.
Power for Life applies across the full range: HS Series, DS Series, GC Series (gun cabinets), FA Series and FX Series.

Setup
Installation
What to expect
PS Series plate safes can be installed by your dealer or a qualified safe installer. PS-1 and PS-2 can be positioned by one person; PS-3 typically requires two.
Mounting is essential — even a heavy plate safe can be carried away by a determined thief. PS Series safes include 4 internal bolt holes for floor, shelf or in-cupboard mounting.
Installation checklist
-
01
Identify fixing bolt provisions — every PS Series model has 4 × internal bolt holes for floor, shelf or in-cupboard mounting. Confirm hole positions with your dealer before drilling.
-
02
Identify install position with access clearance (allow for door swing and handing)
-
03
Confirm delivery access route (doorways, corridors, stairs)
-
04
Schedule installation through your dealer — most offer delivery + install as a package
-
05
Keep installation certificate for insurance records
Base Anchoring Provisions

Secondary Defence
Glass Relocker Protection
PS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
How it works
A thin glass plate is embedded behind the primary lock body. If a drilling, punch, or torch attack breaks the glass, spring-loaded secondary bolts deploy and jam the locking mechanism. Once activated, the safe cannot be opened even if the primary lock is subsequently bypassed — it requires professional recovery by a qualified safe technician.
The relocker is a permanent protection feature, not a consumable. It exists to make the safe effectively unusable to an attacker even if they partially succeed against the primary lock.
If your relocker activates
If you cannot open your safe and suspect the relocker has engaged (usually after attempted forced entry), contact your Dominator dealer immediately. Do not attempt forced opening — this can cause permanent damage to the safe body.
A qualified safe technician can recover the relocker and restore normal operation. The safe itself remains structurally sound and can usually return to service after a relocker recovery.
Maintenance and Servicing
PS Series safes require minimal maintenance but benefit from occasional service to keep locks and hinges operating smoothly through years of use.
Every 12 months
Battery replacement (electronic/biometric locks)
Redeem your free battery through Power for Life. Replace before low-battery warnings, not after.
Every 12 months
Lock lubrication (mechanical dials)
Apply a drop of lock-grade lubricant to the dial spindle annually. Avoid WD-40 or general-purpose oils — they can gum up precision movements.
Every 12 to 24 months, depending if commercial or domestic use
Professional service
Book a qualified safe technician to inspect hinges, bolt work, and relocker mechanism. Typical service takes 30–60 minutes.
Every 5 years
Seal inspection
Check fire seals (where fitted) for compression and integrity. Replace if damaged.

Troubleshooting
PS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
Electronic lock won't open — no response from keypad.
Battery is most likely depleted. Replace the 9V battery and try your code again. Use a brand-new Duracell 9V Alkaline battery only. If the keypad still doesn’t respond, contact your dealer for diagnosis.
Electronic lock responds but rejects correct code.
Mechanical dial won't open — combination correct but bolts don't retract.
Lock is working, but handle does not unlock.
Safe door is difficult to open or close.
Safe is damaged or inoperable after attempted forced entry.
