Depository safes can accept deposits without having to open the safe. This can be useful if you don’t want to grant access to the safe to your employees, or if your business deals with large amounts of cash — the cash can easily be deposited periodically throughout the day. Depository safes have a slot or opening on the front or top of the safe for making deposits. Some have a rotary hopper like a corner mailbox.
Inside, baffles are attached to these openings in order to keep someone from “fishing” the contents back out of the safe. It’s a good idea, however, to move the contents of a depository safe to a more secure location at night — because of the opening they’re not considered to be burglary proof. For more information on depository safes.
If your business handles large amounts of cash or small valuables such as jewelry or coins, you could benefit from a depository safe. Depository safes are designed to allow small items to be deposited into them without having to open the safe. This way you don’t have to give your employees the combination to the safe. If you deposit cash or other valuables throughout the day, then there’s less exposure if you’re robbed.
Depository safes usually have a slot in the top or front of the safe, or use a rotary hopper mechanism like a mailbox. They have baffles attached to the openings to keep someone from “fishing” the contents back out through the opening. It’s best to move the contents of a depository safe to a more secure location when your business is not open, as they are not very burglary-resistant. For more information on the depository safe.
If your business handles lots of cash, or small, valuable items like jewelry or coins, then a drop safe could prove quite useful. A drop safe allows you (or your employees) to deposit items into the safe without opening it. This allows you to keep items safe in case the store is robbed during the day. It’s best to move the items to a more secure safe at night, however, as drop safes are not burglar proof.
A drop safe usually has a slot in it or a rotary hopper (like on a mailbox). These openings have baffles attached to them to keep someone from “fishing” the contents back out through the opening. It’s best to insert items into an envelope before placing them in the drop safe. If your business handles a lot of cash, it’s a good idea to have your employees deposit any large amounts periodically throughout the day, so there’s never very much cash exposed at one time. For more information on drop safes.
If you run a retail business, you could lower the risk of being robbed of your cash during business hours by using a drop safe. A drop safe is designed to accept deposits of small items like cash or jewelry without opening the safe. If the cashier working in your store doesn’t have the combination to the drop safe, then any deposits made during the day are safe from would-be robbers.
If you have your employees deposit their extra cash at periods throughout the day, there will never be more than a certain amount in the cash register. And you can have them immediately deposit any large bills that come in. Drop safes are made in a variety of sizes and shapes, so you should be able to find one that suits your business to a “t”.

Think about all of the documents that you have lying around in a desk drawer or filing cabinet at your home or business. What would it take to replace them? A lot of time and money, for one. In addition, some are probably irreplaceable. What about those pictures of your family when you were young? Well, a fire proof safe can help you make sure these documents will never be destroyed. Not all safes are fire proof — be sure and check the rating on the safe to make sure.
Example fireproof ratings are 1-hour fireproof and 2-hour fireproof. A 1-hour fireproof rating means that the safe has been subjected to actual fire conditions for a period of 1 hour, and the temperature inside the safe did not get hot enough to damage the contents. In addition, the safe was tested to make certain that none of the water used to put out the fire made it inside the safe — a rated fire proof safe will protect the contents from damage due to both fire and water. For more information on the fire proof safe.
It’s important to remember that most wall safes are not as ruggedly constructed as free-standing safes. They can’t use the thicker materials because they have to fit in the space between walls and studs. So most of their security comes from being well-hidden. Behind something against the wall in the back of closet is a good location. Also, rather than mounting the wall safe to studs in the wall, you might consider having it concreted in place.
Another fact to keep in mind about wall safes is they are not made using fireproof construction - if you added the extra insulation necessary to make a wall safe fireproof, there wouldn’t be much room left to store anything. As long as you keep these facts in mind, wall safes can be an effective deterrent against burglars. For more information on wall safes.
Chances are, you have a number of documents in your home or business that would be difficult, if not impossible to replace if they were lost in a fire. That’s where good fireproof safes come in. Fireproof safes are tested under actual fire conditions to make certain that the contents remain safe from damage due to the fire and damage due to the water used to put out the fire.
Fireproof safes have special layers of fireproof insulation designed to keep temperatures inside the safe low during a fire. And they have special heat sensitive door seals that expand when heated to seal the contents off from water damage. Make certain the safe you buy is fireproof - look for a 30 minute, 1 hour or 2 hour fireproof rating. You can also kill two birds with one stone by getting a fireproof safe that is also burglary rated — look for a TL 15 or TL 30 rating. For more information on fireproof safes.
