Find a Safe to Match Your Needs

Many individuals and corporations require a secure location for cash, valuables, important documents and weapons. It is important to choose the right safe for the location and contents. Consider the following and keep your valuables out of the wrong hands.

Location – Location impacts the size and type of safe you will purchase. Choose a location that is large enough to house the contents but hidden from most visitors, such as a closet, storeroom or garage. Homeowners typically prefer a standalone or wall safe. Restaurants, retail stores and gas stations often use a depository or drop safe, enabling multiple parties to deposit cash without giving them access to the main storage compartment.

Type of Contents – Are you storing jewelry, cash, guns or electronics? The intended contents will determine the size, shape and fire safety rating required. While coins, cash and documents can withstand smoke damage and fairly high temperatures, data and family photos are much more fragile and can be corrupted at temperatures greater than 125° Fahrenheit. Data safes offer added protection for vulnerable contents.

Value of Contents – The total cash value of the contents of your safe will also impact the type of vault you choose. Models with greater theft protection will be more costly but offer greater protection and increased insurance coverage.

  It is never a bad idea to choose a safe that is slightly larger

than your current contents require and that offers slightly more protection than you think you’ll need. Click here to learn more about safes for safes for sale in Vista, California.
