3 Important Things to Remember When Buying a Safe
2

• Buying a high security safe is a significant (but
  absolutely worthwhile) investment, and as such,
  it pays to remember these 3 important facts
  before buying one and having it installed in your
  home or business
• 1.The more you pay, the better the safe
• It never pays to cut corners when it comes to
  home or commercial security, and when choosing a
  safe, going for the cheapest one available,
  almost always means that the level of security it
  provides you with, will be compromised.

3

• In the majority of instances, a cheap safe will
  have doors that arent as strong as those on a
  more expensive model, and the door will likely be
  as weak as the rest of the safe. Paying more
  simply means that youre giving yourself the best
  protection possible.
• By having a high security safe installed in your
  home or business, made with thicker, stronger
  metal, youre making it harder for criminals to
  be able to lift or penetrate it, even with
  sophisticated cutting or drilling tools.

4

• You shouldnt discuss your safe
• Not every home or business has a safe, and unless
  you have talked about the fact that you have one
  and its become public knowledge, your home
  shouldnt become a target for criminals. That
  said, any home can be hit by burglars
  irrespective of whether theres a safe inside
  or anything worth stealing, for that matter but
  if your home or business is broken into and your
  safe has been damaged by thieves trying to open
  or move it, then you havent hidden it well
  enough, and you may even have been talking about
  it too much, or to the wrong people.

5

• Try to keep the fact that you have a safe, as
  secret as its location!
• Your safe should be well hidden
• Even if you need to access your safe frequently,
  you should still make an effort to effectively
  conceal it, and the best way of ensuring that
  nobody can simply stumble across it, or uncover
  it with a quick search, is to have the high
  security safe installed in a wall or in the
  floor. This means that the walls which while
  still very robust, are the weakest part of a safe
  are totally inaccessible, leaving just the door
  accessible, but ideally, only to those who know
  its location.

6

• You can hide a safe in the wall and behind a
  picture, and this will give you an increased
  element of security, but if you have real
  concerns about being targeted by thieves (or by
  any individual known to you), then a high
  security safe installed in the floor gives the
  highest level of protection possible.
• Its not enough to simply buy a high security
  safe and expect that to be the end of all your
  security worries buying a safe is in fact, just
  the first step. Take heed of the 3 facts above,
  however, and your safe could turn out to be your
  safest investment yet!
