Purchasing Your First Safe With Confidence
2

• Making the decision to purchase a safe for your
  home will never be one that you regret but
  selecting the most appropriate one for your needs
  is not always straightforward. Coming in so many
  shapes, sizes and price ranges, the choices can
  be baffling, and since a good quality safe is an
  investment, you dont want to make the wrong
  choice.
• Here are a few considerations to make when
  purchasing your first safe
• What size of safe do you need?
• Think carefully about what you plan to store in
  your safe for expensive or sentimental jewellery
  or a few pieces of important paperwork, a smaller
  safe may be enough.

• However, if you have lots of pieces of jewellery
  or other collectible items that are precious to
  you, a small safe will not cut the mustard. Many
  of us possess at least one gun, and if you have
  several, then your needs will entirely be
  different, and you may want to purchase a safe
  specifically designed for keeping firearms safe,
  secure and free from the risk of theft.
• Most manufacturers will recommend that you buy a
  safe that is significantly larger than what you
  think you will need. While a larger safe will
  naturally cost more (maybe not as much as you
  might expect, though), if it can store all the
  necessary items in it, then it would be well
  worth the investment.

• What type of protection are you looking for?
• Safes are generally listed as being either fire
  resistant, burglar resistant or both. Coming with
  a range of ratings, fire resistant safes may cost
  more, but will offer you a much higher level of
  protection for your valuable items, especially
  when it comes to important documents.
• Burglar resistant safes typically contain both a
  key and combination lock, are incredibly weighty
  and may be bolted to a wall or floor for extra
  security.
• Many say (and understandably so) that a safe
  offering a higher level of resistance to both
  fire and criminal intent is the best investment.

• These safes are usually free standing but can be
  secured to the floor if necessary and give you
  around an hour of fire-resistant protection. How
  much the contents of your safe are worth to you,
  will depend upon how much you want to spend on a
  burglar proof safe the higher the value of your
  safes contents, the higher the burglar rating
  should be.
• Since purchasing a safe for your home is often
  considered to be a one-time investment that
  should last you for many years to come, youd be
  wise to assess your needs and budget very
  carefully. Talking to your local safe or lock
  specialist would be a wise move, and they can
  even help you to buy and fit the safe of your
  choice.
