A home safe is not a whim and not an excess, but a sure way to save not only money, but also other medium-sized, but expensive items. For example, jewelry and jewelry, securities, as well as potent drugs or toxic substances. This is a guarantee that accidental intruders entering your apartment can be very disappointed. But you need to choose and install this high-tech device correctly.
What are safes
Choosing a safe should be based on your needs. Safes are divided into burglar-resistant, fire-resistant and combined, protecting both from burglary and fire, they are the most expensive. Burglar-resistant safes, according to Russian standards, can be divided into 12 classes - degrees of protection. The higher the class, the safe is more reliable and, accordingly, is more expensive. For household use, safes are offered no higher than class III protection. This class is determined not only by the type and complexity of the lock, which can also have a degree of reliability A or B, but also by the wall thickness. A safe with class I reliability must have a wall thickness of at least 3 mm and be equipped with a class A lock. There are also non-tamper-resistant safe structures, the class of which is defined as 0 or Н0. Rather, they are designed to protect against children's curiosity.
A good and reliable safe should be equipped with a lock with protection against cutting out.
Safes differ in the installation method. The recessed ones are mounted on the walls and fixed firmly with cement mortar and anchor bolts. As a rule, only their front panel has enhanced protection - from all other sides they are protected by impermeable walls. Masking is carried out using paintings, mirrors or wall decoration panels. If the robbers try to pull such a safe out of the wall, there will be a lot of noise. Furniture safes can be installed wherever convenient for you. They are small in size and can be hidden anywhere, for example, in a wardrobe or closet. There are models that can be fixed with reliable anchor bolts using walls or floors for this. This complicates the task of the robbers, especially when you consider that the weight of such a safe can be quite large.
Safes are equipped with key, mechanical combination locks and electronic locks. Key locks are the most popular. Mechanical ones may or may not be able to change the code; electronic code must be periodically changed.
To ensure the smooth operation of the electronic lock of the safe, an autonomous power supply must be provided.
