HOME SAFES- ALBERTON

WHAT DO I LOOK FOR IN HOME SAFES?

A lot of people often ask themselves, “What do I look for in home safes?” Well, the general answer to that depends on what you want to store inside your safe.

Different safes have different security features, and you will need to take these into account if you want to buy a safe which can best protect those items that you want to store inside it. So if you need help looking for a home safe then here’s some information that may be of help to you.

HOW MUCH DO HOME SAFES COST?

Before we can discuss features and options, let’s talk about the costs first. Ordinary safes can cost between R1000 to $900. For more advanced features, you will need to spend more, but this is basically how much you will need to spend.

For example, a fireproof safe, with a good capacity as well as a reliable lock usually costs between R3000 to R5000, depending on the quality. Cheaper safes, on the other hand, are reasonably secure, but they also have certain flaws, such as the lack of fire or water protection or insufficient capacity. So in buying a home safe, remember that you get what you pay for.

WHICH FEATURES DO YOU WANT?

Different safes are designed for different security needs. Some are designed to be fireproof and waterproof, for example, and are designed against fires, floods and all sorts of other elements. Other home safes are designed for storing valuables, like jewelry or cash, and have features which make them very difficult to pick. Other home safes are designed for portability, so they are easy to carry around, but often have limited capacities.

In choosing a home safe, therefore, it’s important to consider what you plan to store inside it. If you want to keep your valuables safe then choose a home safe that is burglar proof. If you want to keep your documents inside the safe then get one that is both fire proof as well as water proof. If you have enough money, you can even buy a safe that has all of these features and a few extra ones well.

However, you should also avoid buying safes which have too many features, as they will only force you to spend more money than necessary. For example, in addition to being fire or water proof, some safes have electronic as well as biometric locks. Such features are useful to some people, and worthless to others, but either way, they cost money. So in buying a home safe, consider the features of your options carefully.
