BUYING A SAFE: 7 TIPS FROM A PROFESSIONAL

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:

1. Identify valuables/documents: Create a list of items to be protected in the safe, such as passports, documents, deeds, money, jewelry, watches, etc.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Determine protection requirements: Consider what dangers could threaten your assets, such as burglary, fire/fire, water/extinguishing water, to determine the need for protection.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Set a budget: Determine how much you want to spend on the safe and what compromises you are willing to make.

These seven tips will help you make an informed decision when buying a safe.
