Types Of Commercial Safes For Your Business

If you own a business that has cash on the premises, valuable documents or valuable jewelry, you will need to invest in a commercial safe. But with all the commercial safe options on the market, you may be feeling overwhelmed, so to help you sort through it all, here are some of the more popular commercial safes.

Wall Safe -- Wall safes are a common type of commercial safe, because they are small and easy to conceal behind a painting, framed photo or wall covering. Wall safes typically come with combination locks and dual key locks, which means that in order for someone to access the safe, they would need the key and the code to the combination lock. Wall safes are steel-built, and they also have locking bolts to prevent the safe from being pulled open. Wall safes are ideal if you run a small business and want the option of being able to install the safe yourself, because they are DIY friendly, with mounting instructions provided.

Data Safe -- If you store important information on hard drives, flash drives, DVDs or CDs, then you may want to invest in a data safe. These safes have a high fire-rating to withstand fire and extreme heat, and they are also insulated to protect against smoke and moisture damage, which can destroy digital information. Data safes also offer protection against dust and magnets that can erase digital information.

In-Floor Safe -- In-floor safes are one of the most effective means to hide the presence of a safe at your workplace. In-floor safes are installed by digging a hole into your floor, large enough so that the top of the safe is flush with the ground and is hard to detect. In-floor safes are often covered with a rug, carpet or some other floor covering, and they are made with locking bar hinges, steel-reinforced bolts, coil spring assists on doors (to make opening and closing easier) and a hard plate inserted behind the lock mechanism.

High Security Safe -- High security commercial safes are among the most durable and toughest safes for burglars to access. They are often used when you are carrying a lot of cash or valuables, such as are present in pawn shops, jewelry stores and check cashing enterprises. High security commercial safes are large safes, typically the height of an adult, constructed from high-grade steel or titanium, and they usually have multiple locks, so that if one lock is breached, there are still one or two more remaining before the safe can be accessed.

High security safes typically come with shelving options, but you can also have them customized for your individual needs if you require additional shelves. Many of these safes are also equipped with dehumidifiers to reduce moisture and seal air in tight, which is important if you're storing cash and jewelry. High security safes are the most expensive commercial safes on the market.
