Always Locksmith can supply, install and help maintain safes, both for the home and business. There are a wide variety of safes on the market which come in a number of sizes and locking mechanisms, and can be fireproof or not as required.
Floor safes - also known as under floor safes or underground safes- provide an ideal solution if you require the safe to be kept out of sight. Floor safes can be encased in concrete and buried underground. They tend to be smaller than many other types of security safes, but offer extra peace of mind if storing valuable and precious items such as passports, jewelry and of course cash.
Floor safes are equally useful for businesses as well as in the home, and many retail outlets such as petrol stations, shops and restaurants buy a floor safe which incorporate a ‘deposit’ facility – i.e. the day’s takings can be deposited without the hassle of having to open the floor safe door to gain access.
A floor safe can be incorporated into just about any place in the house – under the carpet, or tiles, in the basement or in a never used corner. The advantage of a floor safe over other kinds of safes is that burglars can and do break in and take the entire safe with them – opening it later at their leisure. And this has been known to be true even of the larger types of safe on the market – whereby criminals bring their own trolleys and wheel heavy safes out to waiting vans.
Floor safes, being mounted in the floor or in concrete, are very difficult to extract however, let alone take away, plus – only the door to the safe is exposed – and this is usually made of reinforced steel making the safe even harder to break into.
Floor safes are not especially resistant to fire - but, due to the fact they are in the ground they can withstand quite a good deal of heat anyway; in fact in a fire situation they are often one of the few things which survive. They are however normally waterproof and protected from leaks and water damage.
Installing a floor safe can be a little more expensive than having other types of safes installed, due to the extra work involved i.e. cutting a whole in the floor, lowering the safe in and encasing in concrete. Always Locksmith is expert in installing floor safes so call for a quote. On consideration it may be worth the extra cost to own a safe which has been so carefully hidden.
Safes come in many different Shapes and Sizes
Before selecting the size or capacity of the safe you require, determine what you plan to keep in it. The safe should be big enough to accommodate all your items comfortably but have plenty of room to spare, in case you later choose to put additional valuables into it. The planned location of the safe is another important consideration before buying a safe – make sure to measure doors – both width and height, and make sure that stairs are strong enough to carry the weight of the safe if it needs to be transported upstairs (since some safes are extremely heavy).
