Safe: which one to choose (and based on what)?

The process of choosing a safe can be chaotic and confusing, often because buyers focus too much on their anxieties (perhaps following a burglary or attempted break-in) or because they simply don’t want to invest too much time in selecting the most suitable product.

To understand how to choose a safe effectively, we will focus on five key factors: price, installation, capacity, lock type, and certifications.

Which safe to choose? Guide to mistakes

It’s unlikely that the factors we mentioned have surprised you: after all, it’s almost obvious that to determine which safe to choose, you need to consider variables such as price and lock type. This is why now is the right time to identify the five most common mistakes that arise from these key factors:

• Not considering the lowest price

Too often when deciding which safe to choose for home or office, people are tempted by economical solutions that, in the long run, can be much more costly than a professional product—saving on a safe might mean paying the price in case of theft;

• Neglecting installation

When trying to decide which safe to choose, always consider the environment—does the wall you’ve chosen truly support the required weight? Have you checked that the floor allows for installation? Do you have a cabinet deep enough to hide the model that caught your eye? Overlooking this step can completely nullify the purchase;

• Ignoring capacity

When searching for a home safe, choosing which one depends on the number and volume of items you want to protect. Realizing after installation that you’ve bought a safe that’s too small would be truly frustrating;

• Underestimating the lock

Few mistakes are as critical as choosing a wall safe, floor safe, or furniture safe without carefully evaluating the lock type best suited for users (family, guests, staff…) What seems like a smart choice at first glance might turn out to be quite bothersome;

• Forgetting certifications

Not all safes are equal: that’s why it’s crucial not to overlook certifications that guarantee compliance with recognized resistance standards, offering reassurance particularly important for insurances requiring products belonging to specific classes.
