Frequently Asked Questions
What does the 720 key code mean?
720 is the factory lock code for this container, which is why the part is designated BD-PDC-44-720D. It matters for two reasons: replacement keys are ordered against that code, and containers supplied to the same code open with the same key. If your security policy requires each container to have a unique key, this part number is not the right choice.
How much paper does 9 gallons actually hold?
HSM rates the container at up to 30 lb of paper, which is roughly six reams of 20 lb letter stock if the sheets go in reasonably flat. Crumpled paper fills the volume long before it reaches the weight limit, so expect to empty it more often than the 30 lb figure suggests if people are throwing paper in loose.
Will it fit under a desk?
It is 13.1 inches high, 11.9 inches wide and 17.8 inches deep, so height is rarely the problem - depth is. Measure from the modesty panel forward before you order, and remember you need clearance to swing the lid and get the key in, not just to slide the box into place.
Is this the same thing as a shred console?
No, and the difference is size and purpose. A console such as the 1070070230 holds 20 gallons and serves a department; this holds 9 gallons and serves one desk. It also has no anti-phishing deflector, so treat it as a locked personal bin rather than a full security console.
