Precautions for selecting a household safe

 Precautions for selecting a household safe

  Nowadays, people are paying increasing attention to privacy and the security of their assets, so it is still necessary to purchase safes to store valuables. Currently, some families also choose safes to manage their valuables; besides storing cash, they also keep property deeds and other important documents.How should one choose a safe when purchasing one?

一、 Consider the Location for Home Use

  When purchasing a safe, you should select one based on your specific home usage scenario. Generally, there are three common locations for safes:

1. Concealed in a wardrobe or bede table. If you plan to place the safe inside a wardrobe, you should consider reserving space for it during the custom wardrobe design process.

2. Fixed or embedded. If you plan to embed the safe into the wall, you must first ensure that sufficient dimensions are reserved to avoid having to dig holes after the decoration is completed. Tightening bolts can also be used to secure the safe to the wall, although this may affect its appearance.

3. Placed directly on a shelf or display cabinet. Safes currently available on the market are designed to blend seamlessly with home decor in terms of color and craftsmanship; sometimes, it is impossible to distinguish them from regular furniture by appearance alone, making themh secure and aesthetically pleasing.

  In this way, it is safer to use, and the placement is relatively more reasonable, not occupying space, and can also be within a safe line of sight.

二、Consider the size of the safe

1. The size of a safe is very important, and it is usually determined based on one's own needs. If one needs to store a lot of things, they need to choose a larger safe. If their needs are not high, they can choose a smaller safe to use.

2. Measure according to the size of the stored items, especially considering the matching degree between the length, width and height of the items and the box;
3.Meet the installation requirements of the safe. Generally speaking, the depth of the safe installed on the wall should not exceed 20 centimeters, and the depth of the safe installed in the wardrobe should not exceed the depth of the wardrobe (the standard depth of a wardrobe is 60 centimeters).

4.Consider the load-bearing capacity of the location where the safe is to be placed. Especially when it is placed on a shelf or other surface, or embedded in a wardrobe, reinforcement should be carried out in advance because the safe is relatively heavy to prevent the support from tipping over.

三、Consider the security performance of the safe.
1.The safe must have the functions of anti-theft, fire prevention, anti-magnetic interference and water resistance.
2. Pay attention to the hardness of the materials used (mainly steel plates). The harder the material, the less likely it is to be deformed when being pried or to be drilled through.
3. The gap between the door panels. The smaller the gap, the less room there is for the thief's tools to operate. Currently, the most advanced technology available is laser cutting, which can achieve a gap as small as 0.3mm.
4. Pay attention to the processing of the door panel and the door frame. The door panel and the door frame are the connection points of the safe. How they are processed basically determines the safety performance of the product. Because almost all safes that are stolen start from this point. Currently, the market adopts the overall laser cutting technology for the door panel and the door frame, achieving a flat frame technology where the door panel and the door frame are on the same horizontal plane. This makes the tools used for theft unable to find a supporting point, significantly enhancing the safety performance.

四、Consider the safety of locks

  Generally, the safe locks on the market now are mainly mechanical and electronic, as well as fingerprint and facial recognition locks. The main characteristic of mechanical type is its traditional usage method, which is easily accepted by general consumers, but the password cannot be set by oneself. Electronic password changes are convenient, can achieve multiple functions, and have a high market recognition. Nowadays, fingerprint locks are also popular and have a high security factor. Compared to facial recognition locks, they are less commonly used.
