Safe deposit box: what it is and how it works

We all have precious things to protect, be it documents, jewellery, money, and surely the best way to do this is to organise a space within our own home where we can keep our most precious possessions.

There are those who think that the best way to store objects is to rely on a bank where there are safety deposit boxes paid for in cash through an annual fee. But bank safes are instruments that certify what you own. A person who owns a safe deposit box in a bank and risks foreclosure may actually lose the contents of the safe deposit box.

The advantage of having a safe at home

Having certified safes in the home made by experts can be a double advantage:

That of not renouncing the security of the certified safe, which can hold all the precious things in one’s possession in addition to being in an inhabited and particularly guarded location.

In addition, the in-home safe is permanently advantageous because you can view what is inside at any time and always add new things without necessarily having to declare them to a bank.

There are various types of flat safes, but before listing them, it should also be pointed out that it is advisable to equip oneself with deterrents and surveillance equipment as well as burglar alarms inside one’s home.

Suite safes for hotels: quality assurance

In addition to private homes, there are also very small safes for hotels. In order to increase the quality of the services offered to their customers, some hotels decide to install safes in their rooms to increase the security of customers who are often reluctant to leave their keys at the concierge’s desk. Offering a safe with a magnetic key therefore allows the hotel or establishment’s guest to have the security that what is left in the room will never be touched by the service staff. The establishment, on the other hand, shows that it pays special attention to the discerning customer, as well as attracting a certain type of target clientele as it gains credibility and seriousness.

Among the products used by hotels can be the suite series of safes equipped with LED display, event recording and memory, internal LED lighting, and can also hold a 15-inch laptop PC.

These safes can have an on top opening or the classic suite opening and are electronic safes. There are also safes with rear opening and combination opening keys. Usually, these safes have a shaped hinge with a tear-proof profile and are prepared for wall or floor anchoring with the fixing material included.

Safes are always used for storing valuable objects to be concealed, and are therefore also suitable in their construction for concealment, but some of them can also be real office furniture or displayed as furnishings for workplaces and public offices.

Office safes usually have a removable door, a laser-cut manganese steel frame. The hinge is tear-proof and the mechanisms are protected. These safes are designed for wall anchoring or to be set in a cabinet and have a slot to allow documents to be introduced without necessarily opening the box with the combination.

There are also fireproof safes that are specially made for greater security, not only to protect against theft but also against fire.

Fireproof safes have an electronic lock as standard, a floor anchorage facility and a pull-out drawer. Their weight is low and they can be placed inside furniture.

Then there are the series of certified mobile safes, which are safes specifically designed to hold certain objects, such as those designed specifically for documents that have more than one shelf. These types of safes can also be used as travel safes for all professionals who own a professional office and need to transport their business documents abroad or to other locations during business trips. They are the preferred type for travel agencies and other companies that need to hold documents, valuables or precious objects. They are usually opened manually with a combination.

There are also safety boxes with an elegant design that perfectly match prestigious environments where nothing is there by chance: even the handle can be push and fully retractable, the lock can instead be electronic certified with a third level of security and the shelves are usually adjustable, made of crystal inserted in a faux leather-lined interior.
