Why choose an armoured wardrobe?

These days, armoured cabinets are increasingly used in a variety of contexts, from the home to the company: there are countless valuable objects, strategic documents, important software and dangerous tools to protect. Just think, for example, how useful armoured cabinets are in a company, as they are the ideal place to store work contracts and media containing documents in digital format. Raising the security level of a living context, as well as a work area, passes through small expedients. The use of armoured cabinets proves useful in situations where one wants to protect oneself from the risk of theft, as well as in situations where care is needed. 

Armoured cabinets, the ultimate in home protection

The home environment is where one spends the most time. Ideally, it should be a cosy place. Protecting it is indispensable to avoid unpleasant surprises. Unfortunately, burglaries have been steadily increasing in recent years. The technology of thieves has evolved to such an extent that access is breached in new ways. Entrance doors need to be reinforced, with the emphasis on armoured surfaces. However, objects of a certain economic value, just as those representing a certain sentimental value, should also be removed from the view of the attackers, so that they do not end up in their sights. Armoured cabinets are in fact the ideal place to keep them safe.

Not just homes and businesses

The sale of armoured cabinets involves not only homes and businesses, but also other contexts.
Specifically:
– shops: armoured cabinets serve to protect important materials that often take up space. For example, telephone shops have armoured cabinets where they store items of an IT nature; tobacconists use them to store stamped values, scratch cards and cigarettes;
– educational establishments: the most popular of these is the armoured file cabinet, which is used to store documents and personal files concerning students and teachers;
– courthouses: the classic armoured office cupboard is the most popular, when it comes to storing so-called paper files.

Armoured wardrobe: where to place it?

Having said that there are enough models, knowing where to place an armoured wardrobe is vital. Everything also depends on the available space: the best option is to place it in a room where its presence does not appear too cumbersome. In this sense, a garage, a storage room or an attic are all equally valid solutions.
A more special case is that of armoured gun cabinets. These should have a dedicated and strictly locked room.

Armoured gun cabinets: what is there to know?

Armoured gun cabinets should be configured in the best possible way so that those who use them, i.e. military, law enforcement, but also hunters and collectors, can retrieve pistols, rifles and knives quickly. The fact that they will be storing long-barreled or short weapons is not a detail to be overlooked: space must be optimised in the best possible way, not least to facilitate the correct arrangement.

Armoured cabinets or safes?

In addition to armoured cabinets, valuables in homes and offices can also be stored in safes. These are smaller in size. Just think of the wall-mounted versions, for example. The common denominator is that they must both be certified, of the highest quality and highly secure: only then will the valuables be safe.

Choice of materials

As far as resistance is concerned, the choice of materials is fundamental: an armoured cabinet must generally have a truly considerable storage capacity. In order to fulfil its purpose, it should have the appropriate folded sheet metal, made of steel, various doors and security locks. The solidity of these models is such that they are often offered for sale under the label ‘armoured cabinets’.
