Protect Your Space with Our Bulletproof Deal Trays and Currency Trays

Deal trays or currency trays are part of nearly every bulletproof transaction window system. These shallow steel trays are used to pass cash, papers, or small items through a bullet-resistant barrier. We can upgrade standard deal trays to UL Levels 1 to 8 by adding a "bullet trap," which encases the tray in a protective shell to prevent projectiles from penetrating it.

Every TSS deal tray is constructed of 18-gauge stainless steel with a #4 finish with joints that are welded and ground smooth. All trays can be retrofitted into your existing system or included in a new counter design. Most tray sizes are customizable, so please contact us if you have a specific requirement.

Choosing the Right Deal Tray for Your Bulletproof Transaction Window

Bulletproof transaction accessories like deal trays and package passers ensure your bulletproof system stays secure and functional while also fitting into the aesthetics of your space. Choosing the right deal tray for your space starts with understanding three factors: location, application, and threat level.

Location. Will your deal tray be inside or outside? If you need to facilitate secure drive-through transactions, the flip lid or sliding deal tray are effective solutions.
Application. What kinds of items do you need to pass back and forth? The recessed currency tray can accommodate most cash and paperwork needs but won't work for slightly larger items like clipboards or pill bottles.
Threat Level. Unless you're in a high-security setting, you probably won't need a higher level of protection. UL levels 1 to 3 are rated to stop most handgun fire. Levels four and up are rated for rifle fire. Speaking with a ballistic expert is the most reliable way to understand your threat level and what UL level of protection is right for you and your situation.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are bulletproof deal trays used for?

Bulletproof deal trays enable safe, secure transactions through ballistic barriers, so staff can pass cash, documents, or other small items without exposure to potential threats. They’re used in environments like banks and credit unions, hospital pharmacies and reception areas, and secure entry points at schools where employees interact with the public.

Can deal trays accommodate large items?

The compact design of deal trays may not be ideal for larger, rigid items such as clipboards or bulky envelopes. If your operation involves transferring larger objects, you might want to consider a package passer or combine the two solutions.

What makes a bullet-trapping deal tray safer than standard trays?

Standard deal trays are often rated to stop rounds from common handguns like 9mm, .357 Magnum, and .44 Magnum. But because they rely on hardened steel to deflect the bullet, there's a real risk of ricochet—particularly in confined or customer-facing spaces.

TSS bullet-trapping deal trays are engineered to eliminate that risk. Instead of deflecting bullets, they capture them.

Do bullet-resistant deal trays come in standard sizes?

Yes, bulletproof deal trays are available in several standard sizes to fit common counter dimensions and use cases. These sizes are designed to accommodate typical items like cash, IDs, prescriptions, or paperwork while maintaining a low profile and seamless integration into your security system.

For projects with unique spatial or operational needs—such as retrofitting older counters or matching specific architectural finishes—TSS also offers custom-fabricated trays. Our team will work with you to ensure the tray fits perfectly and performs reliably.

Why are deal trays made of stainless steel?

Stainless steel offers the ideal balance of strength, security, and aesthetics for bullet-resistant deal trays. At TSS, we use 18-gauge bullet-resistant stainless steel to guarantee long-lasting performance and protection. Welded joints are ground smooth, and the entire unit is finished with a brushed satin treatment.
