Types of Safes

Fire proof safes: such safes are equipped with fire resistant features – insulation material, double metal wall designed to maintain a certain temperature. They are usually used to store flammable items such as paper money and important documents.

Anti theft/burglary safes: provide theft protection but are not necessarily fireproof, they are usually made of heavy duty doors that are cutting resistant, with a high security lock mechanism. There are safes out there that are both fireproof and designed for anti theft purposes.

Wall safes: as the name suggests, a wall safe is typically placed inside a wall framing and with appropriate camouflage to conceal it from view.  The closer the wall safe is placed to the ground the better it is for fire protection, since ground temperature is lower. A basement is regarded as the ideal place for storing a wall safe and.  Part of our Greater locksmith Toronto safe services includes safe installation, so when you purchase a wall safe through us we’ll take care of the entire installation work.
