An iron safe is a type of tool that appears in SporkHack, UnNetHack, DynaHack, EvilHack, and Hack'EM. It is a lockable container that is naturally made of iron.
Generation
UnNetHack
In UnNetHack, the first map for the top floor of the Ruins of Moria generates a pair of iron safes in the altar room at level creation, while the second map for the floor has a 3⁄4 chance of generating each safe at level creation.
EvilHack
In EvilHack, throne rooms deeper in the dungeon may have an iron safe rather than a chest.
The throne room of Croesus in Fort Ludios will always generate an iron safe.
Hack'EM
In Hack'EM, throne rooms deeper in the dungeon may have an iron safe rather than a chest.
Description
Like other containers, iron safes can be used to store items - unlike other lockable containers, an iron safe can only be unlocked normally by applying a stethoscope downward while on its square, zapping a wand of opening at it, or casting the spell of knock at it; it can also only be locked again by zapping a wand of locking or casting the wizard lock spell at it.
In EvilHack, kicking an iron safe will print a message with no other effect.
Strategy
An iron safe is generally more secure than most other containers, with the only threat to its contents being a roaming metallivore. In EvilHack and Hack'EM, monsters can also open containers and use keys on large boxes and chests, but they will not be able to unlock a locked safe.
