PARIS, France, May 19, 2008. 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.

Addition features of the Xtra Drawer Safe include:

Industry-leading audit trail.

Audit trail with in-room print-out option.

Flash-RAM memory.

ADA compliant telephone-style keypad.

4 digit guest code.

LED display for clear visible numbers.

"At Elsafe, we make certain that our safes are the most secure on the market," Metivier said. "We've designed our safes in a variety of sizes to accommodate today's popular consumer and business electronics; We offer optional internal electrical outlets to meet global Electrical Code specifications so guests can charge their electronics while keeping them secure; Our technology is advanced, customizable and upgradeable to match hotel brand-standard specifications and independent property preferences and budgets; and, we offer 365/24/7 customer care and technical support through a responsive service network that spans the globe."
