What Type of Safe Best Suits Your Needs?
2

• Determining what type of safe will best suit your
  needs can be done by taking into account what you
  will be storing inside the safe, the size of your
  home, your budget and whether you want it to be
  fire resistant or burglar proof, or both. Many
  find that a wall or floor safe are the most
  secure option, and to help you decide between the
  two, here are a few pros and cons of them both
• Wall safes these are designed to be installed
  within a wall, and can be further hidden by
  hanging a painting or mirror over them. Often
  smaller in size, they should ideally be installed
  within the studs of your walls, although their
  size will ultimately depend on the depth and
  breadth of your wall.

• Wall safes can be installed in kitchens,
  playrooms, libraries or areas that are less
  likely to draw attention, and you can even
  disguise it to look like a book or stash it away
  under the sink, for example.
• The pros of wall safes
• They can be well hidden within a wall, provided
  they are professionally installed
• Theyre easier to access than a floor safe
• Easy to install due to light material
• Convenient for storing frequently accessed items

• The cons of wall safes
• Their size is limited by the size of the walls
• Not all walls can accommodate a wall safe
• Under floor safes designed as secure boxes with
  a round door at the top, under floor safes are
  installed underground and can easily be concealed
  with carpets, rugs and/or furniture. They should
  be encased in concrete when installed, to improve
  security, and if you work with a professional
  safe technician, theyll ensure that this is done
  effectively. Having the safe professionally
  installed also prevents any damage from taking
  place to the floor in which your insurance may be
  invalidated.

• Where the safe will be installed is largely
  dependent on the floor plan of your home or
  office, but a conversation with a safe specialist
  will help you determine the best location for
  your under floor safe.
• The pros of floor safes
• They offer a high level of security and are
  difficult to pry loose when encased in concrete
• These safes are hard for burglars to find
• You can choose a size and dimension of safe that
  suits your needs
• Hard to move and impossible to tip over or remove
  from the property

6

• The cons of floor safes
• They are harder to access than a wall safe,
  making them less convenient for storing
  frequently accessed items in
• If your home or office is in a flood-prone area,
  they may suffer water damage
• Floor and wall safes are a fantastic security
  addition to any home or business, but deciding
  upon which one will best suit your needs, isnt
  always easy. Consult with a safe specialist today
  to find the best safe for you, and protect your
  valuables before anyone else gets their hands on
  them.
