Would My Business Benefit from a Safe?

There is a wide range of businesses that would benefit from having a safe installed if they do not already have one. If your business handles any kind of sensitive data, cash, or valuable goods on a regular basis, a commercial safe is crucial to protect these vulnerable items. Types of businesses that could benefit from commercial safe installation include:

  • Retail Shopping Centers
  • Data-Centric Offices
  • Financial Institutions
  • Medical Facilities
  • Pawn Shops
  • Grocery Stores
  • Restaurants
  • Jewelers
  • Gun Stores

Types of Commercial Safes

There are three major types of commercial safes under which other variations fall. These types are fire-resistant safes, theft-deterrent safes, and composite safes that protect against both. Fire-resistant safes are preferred for items that you want to protect against damage during a fire. These safes are rated by an independent laboratory to withstand sustained heat for a certain period of time while protecting the contents inside. A range of fire ratings exist at different price points that are made to withstand varying degrees of heat.

Crime deterrent safes, as the name suggests, have additional features that keep valuables, electronics, papers, and other items safe inside. They are resistant to common subversion methods, including drilling and brute force attacks, but do not protect against fire. They usually are constructed of multiple layers of strong steel and affixed with complicated, tamper-resistant locks. Locks can also be rated depending on the type of safe and the manufacturer. Businesses such as jewelers and electronic stores sometimes use safes with additional protections that designate them as high-security safes. Fire protection safes are usually limited to homes and small businesses, as most commercial property owners are more concerned with theft prevention.
