Every home or office needs a good safe to protect important valuables that cannot be replaced, or if damaged could cause problems. Installing security safes in the home or office is considered to be the best way to protect your valuable possessions. There are three main types in which safes are classified. These are:

•    Fire safes- These safes have double walls which are made of thin metal and have fire resistant insulating material installed between the walls. They are designed to maintain internal temperatures of below 200 degrees since temperatures higher than this can destroy documents. These safes can provide protection from fire for 120, 90, 60 or 30 minutes.

•    Burglar safes- These are designed to protect items against theft but they offer very little resistance against fire. Generally these safes have heavy doors which are resistant to cutting and drilling and also have solid metal walls.

•    Fire and burglary safes- These are multi-functional safes and effectively protect against both fires and thefts. Their designs are similar to burglary safes; the only added feature is that they have another wall inside which has insulation material to keep the temperature inside low.

Safes installed in homes or offices prevent destruction or theft of important objects like jewellery, money, important financial documents, business contracts or other important paper documents. These safes are mostly installed in the walls or in the floor to provide the best protection and are concealed effectively.
