Value Safes

Looking for a safe where you can store your media safely and not have to worry about it being destroyed in a fire?  A normal fire safe will not work to keep your data and media safe.  Unless you put a safe within a safe it is important and necessary to get a safe that is designed to offer the protection needed.  Although the item might not be physically harmed by the fire, the temperature that the safe can reach in a fire is high enough to erase the data stored on the devices, leaving you a useless object, thus reaching the importance of a media safe.

I was doing some searching the other day on some data and media safes and came across an excellent blog.  “Think ahead and purchase a media safe,” discusses the pros to having a media safe.  It also gives the information most people do not think about when creating just a single back up of all their important document.

We all know that technology of the future is being developed every day and some of it is pretty far out there.  I’m sure many people find themselves thinking “wow, I never thought that idea would take off.”  It just so happens I am personally not a fan of Biometric safes.

Although this is supposed to be one of the most secure lock styles available, there are certainly flaws with the idea.  Safes with biometric locks generally come with the capability of programming so many prints into the lock - making it accessible by a certain group of people.  However, most people don’t think of that, and only program their own personal print.  In this case, if that person is away on vacation and has documents in the safe that are needed right away, they can’t just give their code to a friend and have them open it.  This is frustrating for the owner of the safe.

I came across a blog the other day writing about Biometric Safes.  The author points out good points, that it is the safe of the future and many thieves don’t mess with them, however it doesn’t point out the headache it can cause the customer. Until these locks are more user friendly and bugs are worked out of them, I suggest sticking with an electronic lock, in my personal opinion.

I have never seen a safe so impressive until I saw these safes.  The Mutual TRTLx30×6 is a torch and tool resistant safe on all six side for 30 minutes.  This is not something you will find in any other safe except for these.

Those that are looking to protect items of high value and items that need to be protected from normal every day use are stored in these.  I once had someone tell me they had to wear monitors for radioactive substances to open the safe because of what was stored in it.  That should give you an idea just how secure these safes are.

I was doing some searching over the weekend about these safes and came across a pretty good blog.  The “Is a TRTLx30×6 safe for you” article gives just some general knowledge most people want to know about the safe.

The new shooter is in a great position to learn about gun safety and operation. Those who are new to hunting and shooting haven’t had a chance to develop the bad habits that so many other people have. The first and most important thing to learn about your new firearm is firearm safety. There are five basic rules of firearm safety that all shooters and hunters should know:

1.) Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.
2.) Always keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot.
3.) Always treat every gun as if it’s loaded.
4.) Always be certain of your target and what’s behind it.
5.) Always wear eye protection.
6.) Always keep your firearm safely stored in a fireproof safe when not using it.

I don’t know how many times I have gone into Wal-Mart, Academy, Tractor Supply, Sam’s Club, Home Depot, Lowes, etc and looked at their safes, shook my head, and walked away.  It is not always true that the more you spend the better quality an item is or just because it is cheap it is a really bad safe.  However, the most important thing to do and consider when purchasing a safe is thinking about what you are going to be putting into the safe and what you are going to be using it for.  Don’t make a trip on a whim to a store and purchase the first thing you see.  Research, ask questions, research, and ask a few more questions.

I was doing some research the other day and searching different blogs and ran across one that really hit the nail on the head.  Going cheap will really hurt you in the long run.  The article Going Cheap Will Cost You on Safes talks about what I have just mentioned. It’s just another source to get information from. The information and opinions are out there, go find them and you will find something you are happy with!

Wall Safes are not the most secure safes around - this should be common sense.  However, they get their security from being hidden, behind a picture, behind a false wall, etc.  This information aside it is important to get a wall safe that fits your needs and that is a good quality safe.  I have seen many wall safes be cheap and terrible quality but yet is 200.00 plus dollars.  Why spend that much money on something that isn’t worth it?

I just recently came across this  safe and was astounded and the price of this and the quality.  The steel thickness is amazing and generally is not something that you would find in most wall safes.  It has a key override in case the batteries die on the lock or the lock malfunctions (we can’t expect them to last forever, they are electronic items).  On the inside of the door there are hooks to hang spare keys, jewelery, or anything you can think of hanging up that is small.  This 52EN safe is an excellent buy!  I would suggest it to anyone who is shopping around for a wall safe - you won’t be sorry.

Looking for a safe to protect some documents and keep your sentimental items stored away?  You found a great safe just for that.  This Hollon HS-340E  is a one hour fireproof safe that comes standard with an electronic lock.  It has the ability to be bolted down to concrete or wood and even comes with the bolting hardware.  Unlike some other safes you will find such as Sentry models, the only plastic you will find on this safe is the Electronic lock.  This is one sturdy safe!  Unlike a lot of safes these size, it has two bolts when the door is close and is made of steel.  It has a drawer that you can use for jewelery or little items that will be stored safely and found easily.  You definitely won’t be unhappy if you go with this fire safe.

Looking for a large drop safe that is simple and easy to use?  This Hollon Drop Safe FD-3220D is just that.  This safe is large and very simple to use and provides you the security for your business.  The combination lock is a 4 number lock, non group II dial.  It has one shelf that is removable but not adjustable.   Although this safe doesn’t have the bells and whistles other safes might have, when you’re looking just for some security and peace of mind, you have found the right product.  Get your safe before they sell out!

Looking for a large safe to secure your items and want good fireproof protection? It seems the most common safe that is purchased when a large safe is needed is a gun safe.  This Hollon HS-1750E is an excellent safe to use to store lots of items and still be a two hour fireproof safe.  It comes with an electronic lock, two locking drawers, and 3 adjustable shelves.    This would be great for home or business depending upon your needs.  Although this safe can’t be bolted down, it does weigh 1650  pounds, which any normal day to day burglar would be stunned at how to try to take the safe with him.  This is a popular seller so the manufacturer is out of stock right now, but more are expected the beginning of June! Get yours reserved today!

Do you feel more secure putting your belongings into a floor safe?  The common thought is out of site out of mind.  This is generally true for most burglaries - most thefts that take place are not the theft of items in a floor safe - unless the thief knows there is one available.  I have heard stories from people that purchase a home, replace the carpet, and find out they have a floor safe in their home.

Floor safes get their security from being hidden.  An added security feature of the Hollon FS-B2 safe is a drill resistant hard plate behind the lock.  This makes it much harder to break into the safe by drilling it open.  It also comes with a cover once you have the door closed to make it easier to hide.  This is an excellent safe to add to your home for your collections and valuables to stay protected.
