When buying a safe, it is important to think about which safe best suits your requirements.
To help you make this decision, we have put together a checklist with seven tips:
- Identify valuables/documents: Create a list of items to be protected in the safe, such as passports, documents, deeds, money, jewelry, watches, etc.
- Determine the size of the safe: Consider what is the largest item you want to put in the safe to determine the minimum internal dimensions.
- Check insurance options: Calculate the value of the items in the safe and check with your insurer what options are available to insure the safe.
- Determine protection requirements: Consider what dangers could threaten your assets, such as burglary, fire/fire, water/extinguishing water, to determine the need for protection.
- Choose a location: Think about where the safe is to be installed and make sure that it is easily accessible but can also be securely anchored.
- Check anchoring options: Check whether the safe can be anchored in the floor or in the wall and pay attention to floor anchoring in the case of underfloor heating.
- Set a budget: Determine how much you want to spend on the safe and what compromises you are willing to make.
