Expert Advice on Safes and Vault Doors

Accountants are some of the most important people in an individual’s life. My grandmother used to say that it is absolutely imperative that you tell the absolute truth to only two people: your doctor and your accountant. 

Hi, Dye Hawley here, manager of Safe & Vault Store.com - here today to talk about the Hayman WS-7 Heavy Duty Wall Safe. 

Most people assume that in order for their valuables to be safe they must be kept in a bank safety deposit box. After all banks go to great measures to keep all the burglars out, right? They have secure concrete bunkers they transform into vaults with tightly controlled access and vault doors that no one in the world would ever dream of breaking into. Plus they have very tightly controlled security alarms that will have the authorities there in minutes. All of this sounds like pretty convincing evidence to store your passports and important documents in a safety deposit box….but a fireproof safe might be a better option. 

You should never rush into an important decision, so make sure you have answers to all of these factors before buying anything. We really suggest against the impulse buy for something that will protect your most precious possessions.

If you own handguns or pistols, you know that there is nothing more important than protecting them from falling into the wrong hands. In addition to keeping your family safe and secure, storing pistols and handguns properly ensures that they won’t be stolen or damaged. Before now, however, gun owners who wanted to secure their pistols had to make due with clunky, sub-par pistol safes that were difficult to use and ugly to look at. Fortunately, this is no longer true.

Here we’ll look at some of the basic characteristics for different fire classifications and how it may impact your choice of fire resistant safe.

Check out this video of a live robbery attempt on a Eurovault / International Fortress Safe line. This safe was bolted down using the standard SIP (Security Installation Platform) that comes with the SC and TL15 series safes. As you can see in the video, they were unsuccessful at trying to pry the safe from the floor as well as take a sledgehammer to the door. If this safe wasn't bolted down or just bolted down without the SIP platform, they may have been successful at removing it from the premises.
