Its robust locking mechanism engages once the drawer is fully extended or retracted, preventing unauthorised access from either end during the transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Pay Through?
A "Pay Through," often referred to as a transaction drawer or pass-through unit, is a secure device designed to facilitate the safe and efficient transfer of cash, documents, and small items between a customer and a cashier or teller, typically in environments requiring enhanced security, such as petrol stations, banks, or retail cash offices. It allows for transactions to occur without direct physical contact, significantly reducing the risk of robbery or physical harm to staff.
Can a secure pay window help reduce our business's insurance costs?
Yes, by installing a certified security solution like the Avansa Deep Pay Through with a bulletproof window, many insurers in South Africa offer reduced excesses and more favourable premiums, as it significantly mitigates the risk of cash losses from forced entry.
What is a Pay Through Cashier Window?
A "Pay Through Cashier Window" is a complete security barrier system that integrates a "pay through" transaction drawer within a bullet-resistant or reinforced window frame. This system provides comprehensive protection for the cashier or teller, allowing them to conduct transactions through the secure drawer while remaining shielded behind a protective window. It's commonly used in high-risk cash handling environments like drive-thru lanes, cash offices, and ticket booths across Southern Africa.
What is a Transaction Trough?
A "Transaction Trough" is another term for a secure pass-through drawer or slot, similar in function to a "pay through" unit. It describes a robust, often recessed, channel or container built into a counter or wall that allows for the secure, physical transfer of items like cash, coins, or documents from one side to another. The term "trough" often implies a more open or deeper receptacle compared to a standard shallow drawer, designed to handle bulkier items or larger quantities of cash securely.
