Vaults and Safes

Heaven forbid your house or apartment catches on fire. Are you prepared to keep your important information, documents, and especially pictures safe? The sad fact is that most people are not. Unfortunately, accidents happen all the time. It’s important to make sure that you have your personal belongings in a safe and secure place.

A home safe is something that every home needs. It is very beneficial in protecting personal information as well as family heirlooms. There are several different types of safes to choose from. A fireproof safe is probably the most beneficial to have in your home. They are multipurpose safes made out of thin metal with a double wall and have a fire-resistant insulating material between the walls. They provide a decent level of security since they are designed to protect important information against fire.

My husband is planning on purchasing a gun safe.  I have had the pleasure of being part of this process.  We have been to a few dealers locally and have also been trying to research gun safes on the internet.  I never realized how many choices there are or how easily you can be duped.   Initially, the decision to purchase a gun safe came about due to my insecurity about having firearms just laying around the house.  We don’t have any small children running around the house, but the idea that anyone entering our home could have access to his guns made me nervous.  After much consideration and long hours of debate, my husband decided to go with a Hollon gun safe.  He chose a Hollon Republic RG-16 model  gun safe.  This safe is Hollon’s smallest model gun safe, yet it weighs pretty heavy against its’ competitors.  It holds up to 16 guns and you could store other stuff in there too like paperwork or jewelry because it’s also a fireproof safe.

Just look at how thick this door is!  That’s like 5″ of steel protecting what’s inside.  The body of the safe is a full 1 1/4″ and it has big bolts!  That’s what sold my husband on this model.  This safe easily compared to the Amsec BF series gun safes but didn’t put as big a bite on our bank account!

The Hollon fireproof home safes are all steel construction with UL fire rating of 1850 degrees. The Hollon HS-370D has a seamless body and door construction which adds to its overall strength and appearance.  This safe along with others in the series will protect your paperwork and valuables from fire for 1 hour.  The safe comes with one removable shelf and boltdown hardware is also included.  This model along with all the Hollon safes in this series comes with a combination dial key lock.  An electronic lock is also available for those of you that would prefer a lock you can change the combination on as often as you like.

The Hollon HS-340D home safe has been UL rated and tested to temperatures of 1850 degrees. This line of Hollon safes are a great entry level safe for home or office.  They provide you with time against theft and time against fire.  This steel safe has a seamless body and door construction for added strength and appearance.  This safe has 2 active round locking bolts And a fixed hinge side bolt for added security.  This particular model is equipped with a combination and key lock.  This safe comes with a bottom bolt hole and bolt hardware included.  If one hour fire protection is not adequate for you then maybe the Hollon 2 hour office safe line is what you need.  The Hollon Fire and Burglary safes provide the same level of fire protection as the 2 hour office safes but with the added security of burglar resistance.

How big is too big? Well, Hollon apparently believes there’s no such thing as “too big”. Just take a look at the Hollon RG-45 Republic Gun Safe. The Gun Safe is 72″ high with a total of 32.5 Interior Cubic Feet, and it has (11) 1 1/2″ Active Chrome Plated Solid Steel Live Locking Bolts. It also has a total gun capacity of: 45, 15 each for the right, middle and left.  The RG-45 gun safe also has a  Torch Resistant Fire Rated for 1 Hour of Protection at 1250°F. If you’re on the hunt for a massive, high quality gun safe, you really need to take a look at the Hollon RG-45 Gun Safe.

If you’re on the hunt for a good quality, inexpensive depository safe, you need to check out the FL-01E  depository safe.  It’s a new addition to the Hollon Safe Company line of safes. Some of the features of the FL-01E depository include: Solid Steel Construction, Front loading drop safe door, Anti-Fish Baffle that prevents theft through the drop door, ½” thick solid steel door, 1″ diameter solid steel live locking bolts, Battery operated Electronic Lock protected by an internal spring loaded relocking device, and Four anchor holes provided to secure your safe to the floor. If you are looking for a decently priced depository safe, take a look at the FL-01E depository safe.

Some features include: Steel Thickness of Door: 1/4 or 3 gauge plated and Body: 9 gauge seamless, Door Thickness: 5 inches and Body Thickness:1.25 inches. They are also Torch Resistant Fire Rated for 1 Hour of Protection at 1250°F.  There are 7,  1 1/2″ Active Chrome Plated Solid Steel Live Locking Bolts.

When a thief or burglar enters a home, most of the time it will be when the owner is not at home. Despite the owner not being present, no thief or burglar wants to spend too much time inside the home, or run the risk of being caught. It’s best to keep your cash and valuables concealed, however, the sock drawer or the top shelf in the closet is probably not the best option.

Home burglars know the places people hide their valuables most often. And even if your goods are well-hidden, there’s always the possibility that a thief will stumble upon them. Because of this, a home safe is a prudent investment for anyone who keeps valuables in their home. Even if a burglar is able to locate a safe, they won’t have the time or nerve to stay around and try to crack it.

The last couple of weeks I’ve experienced a string of break-ins at my business. Admittedly, we aren’t in the nicest part of town; frankly, I’m a little surprised it’s taken this long for the local vandals to hone in on us. All of my employees are family members, so I can trust them, but something has to be done to add some extra security to the facility.

I’ve installed a couple of security cameras around the facility, but having a perp on camera is little solace after they’ve made out with your valuables. To that end, I also invested in a new office safe, which only I know the combination to. Until the break-ins subside, I can’t be too careful.

The HOLLON FB-845WE is a  2 HOUR FIRE AND BURGLARY SAFE. I found this safe interesting because the manufactuer apparently was thinking about their customer’s needs. Not everyone needs a really tall safe, and sometimes it can become an issue. The Hollon FB-845WE is made to be more wide than tall, which is great for those people that are limited on height. The FB-845WE fire and burglary safe offers top of the line fireproof protection and steel. The Hollon FB-845WE ,of course, has a two hour fire rating.  The fire and burglary safe also features an overall 5.5 inch thick door with over 2.5 inch wall defense barrier and it comes with a high security glass relocker system. So, if you are looking for a safe that is more wide than tall, the HOLLON FB-845WE is a great choice for you!! I would like to add, the Hollon Fire and Burglary Safes now come with an option to add the combination lock. Just another example as to why this manufacturer really thinks about their customer’s wants and needs!!!
