Frequently Asked Questions

<p>When buying a steel safe, the decision should not be based solely on price, weight or appearance. The security level, door and body construction, locking system, intended use, internal capacity and installation requirements should all be carefully considered. When protecting cash, gold, jewelry, valuable documents or other important assets, it is essential to choose a steel safe or security safe with an appropriate security grade. For applications requiring a higher level of protection, steel safes tested and certified according to EN 1143-1 should be considered. Whether you need a safe for a home, office, jewelry store, bank or commercial business, the value of the contents and potential risk level should determine the required security grade, locking system and safe size. Choosing the right steel safe is the foundation of reliable, long-term protection.</p>

<p>“Steel safe” is a broad term describing safes manufactured primarily from steel, while a security safe is designed specifically to protect cash, jewelry, important documents and other valuables against unauthorized access. Security safes range from compact home and office models to high-security safes designed for banks and jewelers.</p>

<p>The most secure safe is one with a certified security grade appropriate to the value and risk level of the contents being protected. Banks, jewelers and businesses storing high-value assets generally require higher burglary-resistance levels than typical residential applications. Security certification and tested resistance are therefore more meaningful than weight alone.</p>
