It might have never been an area of your business that you have needed to address. But now could be the time to invest and secure the assets of your business. Whether this be cash, valuables, documents or data media. The loss or damage to any of these could severely impact the future of your business.
Where does a safe fit in for my industry?
As this type of product is something that you may have never purchased before, the starting point for choosing the correct safe can be difficult.
We would highly recommend that you decide on what is required to be stored within the safe first, as this will give you the best indication on the type of safes that are available to you.
Will it be Cash? Jewellery or Valuables? Documentation of Digital Media? Once this area is then chosen you can then select the category of safes most appropriate to you or your business.
Expert Recommendations
Once you have decided on the type of assets that you require to protect, the next decision will be the size and locking type that will be suitable to your business. Measuring the area that you plan to position the safe is highly recommended as you wouldn’t want to order the incorrect safe to then return once this has been delivered.
Please also double check on the internal dimensions to ensure that everything will fit in internally. Each series of safes available will have different sizes to fit your requirements.
Locking Types – The selection on the type of lock used on a safe will be based on an individual or businesses preference. Each one has advantages and disadvantages, the most selected are key locking or electronic locking.
An electronic lock/digital lock is very popular as it allows multiple users access to the safe instead of having to ask on where the key is being stored each time. This is perfectly suited to an office or business. A key lock will require you hide and remember the location of the key each time.
Final Points when buying security safes
The final advice that we would suggest considering, would be to see if your business has a requirement for fire protection on a safe? This could be vitally important if you require storing paper documents or data media. Each fireproof safe will have a fire rating upon each one such as the following – 30, 60, 90 or 120 minutes.
