Commercial safes are widely available in the market, but choosing the one that suits your need is less easy. The commercial safes market is filled with used safes or safes with low security features. Though used safes may seem like a good alternative, generally they should not be considered as with some modification the history of the safes can easily be hidden and its security and integrity compromised. Below are some points you should cover before making your purchase:
- Size: Though it might seem obvious, the size of the safe is a very important consideration. Buying a commercial safe that doesn’t fit the commercial space would bring regrets rather than security and peace of mind. Make sure the commercial safe you are buying serves your purpose and fits in your space well, such as considering if you need a left or right hinged opening door. In summary, ensure you have assessed and have decided upon the size of the safe before stepping out to buy it.
- Weight: It is advisable to go for a heavy safe or one which is integrated within your facility, such as in-floor safe. This way it would be much more difficult or the burglar to shift the safe from one place to another. However bear in mind most safes can also be bolted to the ground and/or wall for extra security. In general lighter models that are not bolted down are easier to move around, while heavier models are harder to move. Heavier safes also generally have thicker walls with multiple layers that are able to resist extreme conditions and are generally more robust than smaller lighter safes.
- Inspection: Safes are going to guard your essentials for a long time; therefore, it is a must that you carefully inspect the safe for significant damages or dents before purchasing, and also on a semi regular basis after you buy your safe.
