Size of the safe – bigger is always better!! Safes are meant to last and will serve you for years to come. The amount of valuables you need to store in it will only grow. Have an allowance in the size of the safe you think you need and oversize your requirement. We don’t get complaints from people who bought too big of a safe, it’s always the other way around.

Anchor your safe – You need to anchor your safe into the concrete. It doesn’t matter how sturdy your safe is, if a burglar can easily move it, they will take it. Once they take it, they will have all the time and tools they need to get it open.

Don’t tell everyone about your safe – a lot of purportedly secure safes get broken into simply because an owner’s friend, relative, or partner accidentally revealed key information (such as hints to the combination or the combination itself) to others. Keep important information to yourself. We know that purchasing a new safe is exciting, but you don’t need to tell others about it.

Security should be multilayered – don’t depend on just a safe to protect your valuable. Practice other security measures such as installing an alarm.

You get what you pay for – last but not the least, we at The Safe Company know that cost-efficiency is important, but the price shouldn’t be your top priority. A cheap safe will have compromises in quality. If you want the best protection for your valuables, be prepared to spend a little more. Think of it this way, it’s not really that valuable if you want to be cheap about protecting it.
