Safes are a must have for personal and business use. There are various kinds of safes available, and they differ depending on the degree of security they offer.

Wall safes and security safes protect your documents and valuables from theft. Usually, cash rated safes are best for storing large amounts of currency. Security safes have multiple uses like storing jewellery, business documents and personal documents like birth certificates and passports.

Fire safes are UL rated depending on their resistance capacity. Resistance is a crucial factor as far as identification documents are concerned. Fire rating and burglary rating are the two important points to be considered when buying fire safes.

Cash rating safes are also popular. The cash rating usually gives an indication of the level of security offered by the safe. This depends on the barrier materials used, thickness of walls and how the bolt and lock works. Going by the rule of thumb, cash ratings are usually multiplied by 10 if you are storing jewellery instead of cash. High cash rated safes are subject to Euro Grade specifications.

You must always purchase a safe depending upon what you need to store. You should not opt for a high cash rating security safe if you do not intend to store very valuable items.
