Use the Copper to Iron Chest upgrade by right clicking a Copper Chest. Using it will transform the Copper Chest with 45 slots into an Iron Chest with 54 slots.
Like all upgrades, this is used to increase the space of a chest without needing to empty and break a chest.
To compare all available upgrades, check Metal Chest Upgrades.
