Questions to ask before buying a new safe

Our skilled staff at Buffalo Locksmiths can help you make the correct choice of safe by asking the following questions:

1. What type of safe do I need?

The first step is to define your risks. Is it theft, fire or data loss?

• Theft only — These safes prioritise physical security
• Fire-resistant — These models are designed to shield physical documents in case of fire.
• Data (fire-resistant) — Data safes are designed to protect electronic media from the effects of extreme heat.

2. What size of safe do I need?

• Measure the space where you intend to install the safe.
• Choosing a safe slightly larger than what you think you need right now is always recommended. This is because you might acquire more valuables, inherit family heirlooms or expand your business. Extra space in your safe can save you the hassle and expense of upgrading later.

3. What value amount am I protecting?

• You wouldn’t put $1000 in a Basic Hardware Safe, so why put jewellery worth $50,000 in a safe that is built for holding $5000? That’s why most of our safes come with an Insurable Recommended Rating. This rating indicates what value this safe should be holding. For example $10,000 IRR means the safe is for holding up to $1000 Cash Overnight holding.
• The holding values are determined by how the body of the safe is constructed, how the door and bolt work is built and whether it has hard plate steel, lockers, anti-oxy or lance protection, drill protection, etc.

4. What type of locking do I need?

• The majority of safe locks Buffalo Locksmiths sell are high-security Lever Safe Locks, Combination Locks, Digital Code Pad Locks or Biometric Locks (Fingerprint).
• Remember: Just because a safe has both a key and a combination dial/digital lock does not mean it is more secure. To safeguard your possessions, it is preferable that one high-security lock is used rather than two poorly made locks.

Our team is always happy to explain the difference between safes over the phone or in our Showroom. We stock an extensive range of safes and can quickly order anything we may not already have in stock.
