How to choose a safe for your home

Human has always tried to hide the most valuable thing. For these purposes, at times in the most unpredictable places, various shelters were arranged. Today, this is not necessary at all, because everyone can take and buy a safe, the one he needs.

Before you start choosing a safe, you should know that today there is a fairly rich selection of safe classes. It is worth noting that safes higher than the fifth class are practically not available for sale, since they are made to order. Their price is high. But for home storage of valuables, you can get by with the first five classes.

You need to know that the higher the class of the safe, the more expensive and heavier it is. Before you go shopping, first decide on the price. There is an unspoken rule of the safe, the story should be 8-10 times lower than the price of what will be stored in it.

With all the richness of the variety of safes, the manufacturers themselves divide them into three types:

• burglar-proof;
• fire resistant;
• combining the properties of the first two.

All safes are resistant to burglary or fire, just in different cases the emphasis is more on one of the qualities. According to statistics, the most popular are fireproof safes. There may be several reasons. Firstly, such safes are cheaper than all the others, and secondly, the number of varieties of this model on the world market breaks all records, so the consumer has a choice. In addition, there is a factor of the sellers' dishonesty, since they often do not warn the buyer about the main purpose of the safe being bought.

What you need to know when choosing a safe

When choosing, you should never be guided by the appearance of the safe. First of all, you need to focus on the popularity and reliability of the manufacturer. When buying a safe, in no case should you tell anyone about it. After all, advertising such a purchase can only lead to a thief.

If your purchase weighs less than one ton, then anchoring the safe to the wall or floor will be an additional guarantee of reliability. The second set of keys to the safe must be kept in a safe and inaccessible place. The safe should be placed in places inaccessible to guests.

A safe is a kind of fortress that stores your valuables, and this fortress should be as protected from invasion as possible.
