Abstract

An automated banking machine is operative to carry out transactions using data read from user cards through operation of a card reader. The automated banking machine includes a chest portion, with a moveable door. A cash dispenser extends in the chest portion. The chest door is mounted to the chest portion through hinge assemblies having respective hinge pins. A bolt work is operative to selectively hold the chest door closed. A security module portion on at least one of the hinge assemblies and the bolt work includes at least one hard freely rotatable body in a bore. The security module portion is resistant to attack by a saw. The security module portion at least partially spans at least one critical component of the hinge assemblies or the bolt work to reduce the risk of unauthorized access to the chest portion.
