If you are thinking of buying a safe you should take into consideration the value and type of the goods you wish to store, as that will determine the type of safe you need. The security rating of a safe is determined by a term known as “overnight cash holding”. All information brought to you by our 24 hour emergency locksmith Sydney, specialising in all commercial and residential lock and key solutions
The value of goods to be safely stored will determine the cash rating of the safe you need. Safes with a lower cash rating will generally cost less than a bankers grade safe designed to hold hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of jewellery. However, our advice is to search for a second hand safe, there are many locksmith and security companies hat offer a good selection of second hand safes, the benefit being that you can make a considerable saving by picking up a quality safe for up to one third of the price of a new one depending on its condition.
Fire rated safes are designed to store valuables such as paper, cd’s and laptops. The fire rating of safes does vary greatly, so if you need to safeguard important documents you may well need a quality product, such as a CHUBB safe, beware of cheap safes from hardware stores.
