Safes
Safes are an often forgotten item for home or the office, in most cases we find the reason why customers purchase is because of a recent spate of burglaries or as a result of an insurance company making it a requirement. There are a variety of different security ratings available and either key or electronic locks to gain access to the contents.

Buying a security safe online
To select the right safe for you needs there are some important questions to answer first.
- What are you planning to store in it?
- Do you need fire protection?
- Who will be using it and what lock would be preferable?
- Where do you plan to install the safe?
To help you make the right choice our experts wrote these helpful articles to help you get started:
The cash rating of a security safe
As a rough guideline to the different levels of security available safes start with a cash rating of £1,000, these models are entry level and offer basic protection. The valuables rating is a multiple of 10 so for a basic model this would be £10,000 for contents of value such as jewellery, watches or computers. For the home we recommend as a minimum you look at a model with a £4,000 cash rating, the reason for this is they offer better value than a £2,000 or £3,000 rated model.
Entry level models are usually constructed from a single skin of steel and as you step up to different levels of security there is an inside and outside steel wall that has a special fill in between.

Security safes with fire protection
Some customers want to have a mixture of security and fire protection and there are various models to suit this. If you want to protect documents or data from fire you will need a specific safe designed for this. Particularly if you want to protect computer tapes with vital data, these models have very thick walls and are often much heavier than you think.
