Fireproof 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.

Safes

When you think about the security of the valuables, cash and important documents used by your business, one of the first things that should come to mind is safes.  A good bolted down safe can keep burglars from getting to these valuable items - they’ll have to settle for what’s easiest to take if they break in.  Think about the documents or computer backup data that would be nearly impossible to replace if lost in a burglary or a fire.

So a good burglary rated, fireproof safe is a must for any business.  Check to make sure the safe is rated in both of these areas.  Some common burglary ratings are UL TL 15 and TL 30.  Some commone fireproof ratings are a 1 hour or 2 hour fireproof rating.  These ratings mean that these safes have been tested to withstand burglars attempts to open them and tested under actual fire conditions.  If you need to safeguard valuable computer backup media, make sure you get a special media fireproof safe, as these have a much stricter rating to ensure that your media would not be damaged during a fire.

Jewelry Safes

Jewelry safes offer a high degree of security for your valuables.   Jewelry safes carry a burglary rating, such as the UL TL 15 or TL 30 rating.  This rating means that the jewelry safes have been tested against attempts to open them.  For example, a TL 15 rating means that a professional locksmith using common locksmithing tools was unable to open the safe in a period of 15 minutes.

Jewelry safes are constructed of special materials.  They usually have 5″ thick doors and 1-1/2″ thick steel bodies.  They use 1-1/2″ steel locking bolts, and the locking mechanism is surrounded by drill-resistant hardened steel plate.  They are designed to be bolted to the floor from the inside.  So if you want the most in security for your valuables, consider getting a jewelry safe.  For more information on jewelry safes.

Warning about Jewelry Safes

Not all jewelry safes are created equal.  BEWARE OF IMPORTS!!!!

Its very popular these days to for retailers to buy a container or two of safes.  Then when they sell out they start importing something else…maybe its pianos.  But what this does is leave the customer with little to no warrenty and no way to service the safe.

In the event of a TL Rated Safe, a top of the line Mercedes Benz, or a high end plazma TV.  All will need some service work at one time or another.  A TL Rated Safe is designed to last a lifetime.  But if your local locksmith can’t contact a support line he can’t repair it.  Leaving the you the customer with a broken safe or worse. A safe with ALL you precious items in it that cannot be opened.

As a rule of thumb some excellant brands to purchase and have very good support for after the sale.  Are: Hayman Safe, Gardall Safe, Cobalt Safe, Adesco Safe, American Security Safes, Fire King Safes, and Inkas.  All of these brands have their share of import safes but they have a strong support network for after the sale. (Please note that I don’t sell all of the above brands so I am trying to be as honest as I can here)

Stay away from safes made in South Africa such as Gem Vault and Mutual.  There are of course others but an excellant rule of thumb is to ask for the phone number or the website of the manufacturer.  If they don’t have a website or don’t answer the phone number. Beware!!!  Because when its time for support, your local locksmith will find no help and you will be left with a boat anchor instead of a safe.
