You might have something that is of more value than they do and besides that, the safe they use might not be a commercial safe. These are things to consider whenever someone suggests that you buy a certain safe. Safes give you peace-of-mind and most importantly they make sure that your valuables are properly and safely stored. If you’re about to buy a safe for the first time, make sure it is well worth the investment and does what you need it to do.

Below you will find a list of some of the most widely used commercial safes.

1. Office Safe – This is a safe that holds valuable documents. It could be anything from client information, patents, contracts or any other type of confidential information. A safe helps to protect these things and gives makes them accessible to you when you need them. An office safe is also a good place to put money until you have the time to take it to the bank.

2. Cash Safe (Under the counter) – If your business takes in money on a daily basis this will require you to have a safe to store the money and receipts in until you can deposit it in a bank. An under the counter cash safe is the best choice for you. They are not very expensive and yet they give you the level of security you need. This is a good investment for anyone with a business that deals with cash. They have them at various prices to suit the budgets of every business.

3. Multiple User Safe – This type of safe usually has a keypad lock so that the code can be given out. This is good for businesses where more than one person needs to have access to the safe. If you want to give management access to the safe or a business partner, this is the type of safe that you should consider. Some are designed to track who has been in and out of the safe and when. This means better security for those important documents.

4. Fireproof Safe – You might not know this but not every safe will give you fire protection. There are fire safes that keep your valuables protected for up to two hours in temperatures that could get rather high. They also help protect your valuables from water damage also. When buying a safe, we would highly recommend that you ask the salesperson if it is fireproof.

5. Data Safe – This is what will be needed in order to protect your backup files. There is really no use in your backing things up on your computer if you can’t still protect them once you have them downloaded. This type of safe protects various types of electronic media in the event of a fire. If you’re not able to go to an off-site storage facility, you’ll need something that you can use to store data safely.
