Safes
A security safe is an often forgotten item for the home or the office, in most cases we find the reason why customers purchase a safe is because of a recent increase in theft/burglaries or because of an insurance company making it a requirement.

How Crucial is a Security Box?
You may have gone through the process of purchasing an expensive watch or item of jewellery. The storage of these items is vitally important due to the risk of theft and loss. The actual cost of a safe is relatively small in comparison to the overall value of your personal belongings.
A security box or safe will provide a suitable space to keep your valuable personal items secured from theft. An insurance company may specify that you require a safe up to a certain security level so that is why we always recommend a high security safe to protect your contents.
Please contact us if you require further information on sizes and options to suit your needs.
The Insurance Rating on a Safe – Cash and Valuables
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 or watches.
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 are more secure and offer a better security level 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. If you are looking to keep higher value items secure, then please ensure that you have the correct certified safe when making a purchase.

Security Safes with Fire Protection
Some customers want to have a balance of security along with a fire rating and there are various models to suit this. If you want to protect important 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. See our data safes with fireproof cover on.
