Five Reasons Every Homeowner Should Invest in a Safe

Five Reasons Every Homeowner Should Invest in a Safe

There was a time when a home safe was considered a mark of the rich and famous. When people pictured the contents of a safe, they imagined gold, jewelry, and glistening rubies all held behind the door of a massive iron box with a heavy handle. Although safes are far from being a thing of the past, they have changed significantly. Nowadays, home safes are an easily accessible addition to most households. In addition to holding any valuables a homeowner may want to store securely, safes are also a great way to store important documents, keepsakes and personal items and, since they are available in a variety of sizes and styles, there is a home safe to fit virtually every budget. These are the five best reasons every homeowner should invest in a personal safe:  

1) Home Break-Ins are on the Rise

An estimated 2,000,000 homes are broken into annually and a whopping 66% of those break-ins take place on residential property. While it is easy enough to replace items such as televisions, appliances, and furniture after a break-in, homeowners are unable to replace cash, treasured valuables or personal possessions. Home break-ins numbers will only continue to rise and, although nobody wants to think about the possibility of theft, it is undeniable that the threat is real. Fortunately, home safes provide unparalleled burglary protection. In the event of a home break-in, a personal safe will keep a homeowner’s cash and most treasured valuables safe and secure. 

2) Fireproof Safes Can Protect Valuables During a House Fire

Every year, nearly half a million households lose their homes to fire. When fire strikes, valuables such as cash, jewelry, photos, wills, deeds, and birth certificates are easily lost. Fortunately, homeowners can now protect their valuables from fire by investing in a fireproof safe. These safes come in a variety of sizes and styles to accommodate every home and budget. Fireproof safes typically come in 30 minutes, 1 hour or 2-hour ratings. If you live in the city, a 1-hour fireproof safe will work just fine. If you live out in the country, you might want to invest in a 2-hour fire rating. Look for anything that has at least a 1200 degree F test or greater and has a UL rating. 

3) Many Safes Will Protect Valuables Against Water Damage

Safe & Vault Store’s wide selection of waterproof safes will protect valuable documents and photos from water damage in the event of flooding or natural disaster. Available in dozens of sizes and styles, waterproof safes and chests are generally ranked for at least a full 48 hours of submersion. 

4) Safes are Easily Concealable for Increased Security

Gone are the days of Fort Knox-style wall safes the size of a mini-van. Today’s safes come in a variety of small, easily concealable options. From traditional wall safes to cylindrical, in-floor safes, today’s safes are small, easy to conceal and ultra-secure. 

5) Safes Keep Valuables Close to Home

Homeowners who want to guard their valuables have the option of leaving them at a bank safe deposit box, but this puts the control and security of priceless valuables in the hands of strangers. Now, homeowners can maintain control of their valuables without sacrificing bank-quality security. Home safes can slip under a bed, into a wall or under a floor for maximum protection and comforting closeness.  Nowadays, home safes are budget-friendly, secure, portable and easy to install. In addition to providing unparalleled protection for valuables, home safes are also a great way to store important legal documents and cash.
