Safes, Lockboxes: Fireproof, Steel, Waterproof, Anti-Theft

Safes for home and business are available in a number of designs and sizes to meet a variety of needs. You may have greater concerns for burglary protection or wish to keep valuable documents secure in the event of a fire. Cash transactions during the course of a business day or at a special event also require the solid security of a drawer or lockbox. You may also choose among our selection of combination units that hold a wide range of assets and records.

The fact is, no one is truly protected from fire or theft. The loss of jewelry, tax records and account information is a devastating occurrence. Units that are rated fireproof up to one hour are generally recommended for city or urban settings. These are ideal for jewelry and other valuables. However, if you're planning to store standard documents or other types of paper media such as stamp collections, you should also choose the added protection of waterproof construction. This will reduce the potential for damage during the course of fighting a fire or in the event of a flood.

Size is another critical aspect of purchasing a safe, especially when looking at anti-theft units. These include drawer designs that can be mounted inside a desk as well as floor models that can bolt to the existing foundation. Wall mounts are also an excellent choice with specialty features. In this group, you'll find key cabinets that are ideal for business and home. For residential use, you can store backup keysets and at the office, you can provide access for specific employees to equipment rooms or other areas where sensitive documents are stored.

The choice of locking systems should also factor into your buying decision. Key locks are generally more economical, while still providing a high level of protection. Electronic, or digital, mechanisms can often provide an added layer of security. Combination key and digital entry units also afford protection. Digital entry systems can be changed and provide unlimited numbered combinations for multiple users. A combo unit offers a key override in case you forget a password. Even better, electronic keypads can be changed if an employee leaves or a new hire requires private access. If a combination is compromised, it can easily be discarded.

Smaller units can fit inside vaults and are often outfitted for cash and less bulky items. Compartments can keep coins sorted and are especially suited for events and other types of temporary functions. They can be easily transported to the bank, the office or home for safekeeping. For added organization and easy access, a locking file box should be included in your arsenal of protective devices. They're also fireproof rated for up to one hour. We offer units that are sized to store laptops, keeping them hidden from sight and protected from prying eyes.

Steel, double-walled construction is standard on most safes. A heavier concrete-like mix using a special compound is sandwiched between the inner and outer walls. For fireproof safes, this material includes moisture pockets that release steam into the interior compartment. This holds temperatures down and keeps valuables from being destroyed. It is this moisture, however, that can cause damage to paper goods. Hidden hinges are one of the main components of burglar proofing and all doors are highly pry and drop resistant.

At Safes on the Web, you'll find a full array of units that are also affordably priced. Protecting your valuables is of the utmost importance, whether it's from flames or theft or both. If you have questions about any of our units, please don't hesitate to contact us.
