So you’ve decided that you want to buy a safe. By now, you’ve mulled it over and decided that the valuables you wish to protect is worth the expense of a high security safe.
First, you should decide which kind of safe you need- you can always consider AMSEC Safes as they are a great option. There are lots of different safes and some vital differences between them. The style of safe you buy depends on several factors:
After you’ve done your research and decided which kind of safe is best for your valuables, it helps to do even more research and learn some of the common industry lingo for safes. Also research how safes are rated and consider what kind of security your valuables really need. For example, if you’re using a safe mainly to store papers, than fire protection should be your first priority; in a house fire, the steel of the safe will get hot enough to burn through papers if not properly enforced with fire protection.
After knowing enough about the kind of safe you want, make a list of what you need out of your safe. From safety ratings to fire protection or kinds of locks, you should be able to list your priorities in your safe.
After knowing exactly what you need out of your safe, it’s time to go shopping. Compare safe manufacturers and see if they can fulfill your safe requirements. This can be, unfortunately, the most time consuming part of the process, as many manufacturers may not provide as much information as to their ability to protect, and may even use their own terminology and industry lingo that may confuse you. The general rule, then, is that a good safe should have at least one-quarter inch steel body with a half-inch steel door, or more. If you settle for anything less just because of budget concerns, you’ll have a far less secure safe on your hands and could be throwing a lot of money away on a product that may not even do half the job of protecting your valuables.
Once you’ve chosen the right manufacturer to choose from, it will be about time to make a wise and measured decision on what safe to get. If you want the absolute best safe that customers in the US Market buy- you can consider looking into TRTL30x6 Safes but they do get rather pricey for even the smallest ones.
