Things To Look Out For When Buying A Safe

• Depending upon what you want to store in your
  safe, the cost will vary according to the level
  of protection that you require. The general rule
  of thumb is that the more you spend, the better
  protection a safe will afford you, but to give
  you a little more guidance if youre wanting to
  purchase a gun safe or a home safe, here are some
  things to look out for
• The thickness of the safe door
• This is arguably the most important factor when
  buying a safe, since when safes are compromised
  by a criminal, they have almost always broken in
  using the front door. The weakest points of a
  safe are in fact, the sides, but the average
  criminal tries to smash their way through the
  door.

• If you dont know what youre looking for when it
  comes to a high security safe, you might
  understandably assume that a safe with a door
  thickness of 5 inches, offers more protection
  than one that is 4 inches thick, however, this
  isnt necessarily the case. What you should be
  thinking about, is the thickness of the metal
  that covers the door, which will either be a
  solid steel plate, an anti-drill steel plate
  around the lock, or a compressed piece of sheet
  metal pressed together. The best protection is
  given with a solid steel plate, and it should be
  around a ¼ of an inch thick.

• The strength of the bolts
• If the door of a safe is being compromised, a
  bigger bolt will distribute more force, and the
  thicker the metal is where the bolts come out,
  the more secure the entire door will be when its
  closed. When the door of the safe is locked, the
  bolts should be long enough to ensure that the
  bolt is completely inside the door and secured to
  the safe when its locked.
• Whatever kind of safe youre looking for you can
  use the general rule of the heavier a safe is,
  the better protection it will afford you against
  the risk of criminal damage, but even if you go
  to buy a safe from a regular store armed with the
  above knowledge, the seller may not know enough
  to help you confirm what exactly it is that
  youre looking for.

• The best way to ensure that you get the very best
  safe to suit your specific needs, is to buy one
  from a licensed locksmith, or at the very least,
  seek their advice before you go safe shopping.
