Where to place the safe in the house?

Where to place the safe in the house?

Almost every family has valuables that are unlikely to be stored in an ordinary drawer in the table. Even novice robbers have already heard about the freezer, cistern, or jar of cereals. A safe is best suited for storing valuables.

If intruders get into the apartment, the most valuable resource is time. In order to limit it, you need to hide the most expensive in a safe and set the apartment on an alarm. An armed outfit usually arrives within 5-20 minutes, a safe with valuables must last this period. And in order to further confuse the thief, you need to carefully consider where to place the safe in the apartment. If the vault is carefully hidden, outsiders will not know about it, which significantly reduces the risk of theft on a tip. The second option is to put 2 safes, one of which will play the role of a "trick" and installed in "familiar" places, the second - safely hidden, it will contain very valuable things.

Installing a safe in an apartment - choose a place

It should be borne in mind that safes are different, therefore, the places for them can be different. The most common models are:

●     Embedded. The installation of such a safe at home is carried out in a niche, which is usually prepared in advance. This option is the most expensive, reliable and technologically complex. It is unlikely that it will be possible to install a safe in an apartment in a panel house, since the thickness of the wall will be insufficient, it should be at least 100 mm more than the depth of the product. In a private house, this is easier to do. For installation, you should select a room with low traffic. You can use a bedroom, dressing room or study. A bathroom would not be a very good option, since due to the high level of humidity, the contents of the safe may become unusable or the locking mechanism may jam. Next, you should think about how to close it from prying eyes. You can hide it with clothes hangers, close it with a wardrobe or a bedside table.    

●     Outdoor. A safe of this type is also installed in low-pass rooms. It can be mounted inside a cabinet. It is important that furniture doors open and close properly. Safes usually weigh a lot, so it is important to consider reinforcing the shelf so that it does not break. Also, valuables can be hidden under the table. This option is suitable for models with a height not exceeding 700 mm. In this case, it does not matter how much it weighs, since the installation is carried out on the floor. Also, models are produced that are stylized as pieces of furniture, for example, in the form of a dressing table or a decorative cabinet. As a result, it will not stand out from the overall interior.

●     Mini safes. Small metal boxes are usually installed in furniture. The walls are usually made of metal of small thickness, the protection class is low. That is why such products are more designed to protect securities from children or domestic workers.

In order for the safe to be as resistant to burglary as possible, its installation must be carried out correctly. If you do not follow the technology during the installation process, the values ​​will simply be taken out of the house.

How to choose a safe for your home?

When a decision has been made about where to install the safe in the apartment, it's time to choose the right model. It should be borne in mind:

●     product dimensions;

●     the weight;

●     type of safe;

●     type of locking mechanism;

●     wall thickness;

●     number of branches.

Choosing the right lock is important. The most common models are opened with a key, but you can lose it. In this case, you will have to contact a specialist to open the box. There are also mechanical and electronic coded models. In the first case, in addition to entering the code, you should scroll the knob. A distinctive feature of the second model is the presence of batteries, the charge of which must be controlled. The most modern option is biometric locks. A fingerprint is taken to open the safe. Hundreds of prints can be stored in the device's memory. To avoid problems with pattern recognition, one person can memorize fingerprints from several fingers. When choosing a safe, it is necessary to consider not only its type, but also the overall budget.
