  Safes come in all shapes and sizes, and vary in price dependent predominantly on the job they are designed to do and the materials used in there construction to do so. The basic principal is to protect vulnerable contents from loss or damage. Several products fall into this marketplace heading due to their utility, like cash boxes or depositories, lockable key storage, Document, Data, and Media safes or jeweler’s vaults. There are 2 basic classifications for these products, as defined by the elements they are constructed to ward against.   

    Fire Safes are mainly constructed of composite materials with the focus on insulating and sealing properties and are rated for the protection they offer to contents when exposed to fire at a given temperature for a given period of time. 

    Burglary Safes are generally, a “strong box”, fabricated from heavy plate steel and incorporating a intricate lock and robust bolt-works. Many Burglary Safes also incorporate the use of re-locking devises and or torch and tool resistant materials comprised of Hard Plate, Glass, spring loaded bolts and or heat dissipating laminates to hinder or eliminate entry for specified lengths of time. Ratings for Burglary safes are based on tool or torch resistance for a given period of time. 

Depository Safes are most commonly used in retail applications where cash drops or deposits are required from employees who may not have access to opening codes for the safe, these safes are often equipped with a Rotary Hopper or Deposit/Drop Chute to allow deposits.

    Again the complexity of design and quality of construction is relative to cost. Ratings for these safes are given based on compliance with minimum industry standards as established through rigorous physical testing by Underwriters Laboratories. Safes offering both Fire and Burglary protection fall under both classifications and may or may not be rated. Most insurance companies will advise you of their requirements and the limits they set on comprehensive coverage for the safe storage of fire arms, Sensitive Data and Media, or the securing of Jewels or daily cash receipts, based on recognized standards as indicated by UL Listing or certification.
