ACME Locksmith Safe Buying Tips

Tips for Selecting aSafe

When Selecting a Safe, Consider What You Want to Protect

Collections (Stamps, Baseball Cards, etc...)
Most people will only need fire protection. For home owners protecting flammables, we recommend at least 1-hour of fire protection. If your collection is extremely valuable. You will want both fire and burglary protection.

Tax Returns, Insurance Papers, Wills, Passports, etc...
Safes with at least 1-hour of fire protection should suffice.

Jewelry or Other Items of Large Value
A burglary rated safe is ideal. This typically come with a 2-hour fire rating.

Corporate Records (Data disks, employee files, etc...)
You want a safe with both fire and burglary protection. Fire protection should be at least 2-hours to sustain the heat generated and length of burn of large building fires.

Firearms and Guns
Burglary and/or Fire Protection. Gun safes come with a wide range of options depending on your need. If you main interest is simply to keep young children away from the firearms, low end and less expensive safes will suffice. If you are protecting a valuable collection, burglary ratings and long fire protection may be desired.

Cash Management (For Business Applications)
Drop safes, Deposit Safes, or Money Management Safes can be used to protect cash accrued throughout the day.

Drop Safes allow for frequent cash drops and can be mounted under counters. Deposit safes are larger and used for more permanent storage. These safes offer no fire protection so they are not recommended for long-term storage, or when no one would be around if a fire started.

Money management safes have two sections. The top section allows for access to daily or limited founds and contains a drop to a lower section that remains isolated. Some come with several drop sections to accommodate deposits from separate shifts or managers. The lower section may have a fire protection rating.

Disks and Tapes
Data safes are designed to protect this type of content. They are both fire and moisture rated.
