Vaults and Safes

If you want to make sure that your valuable business documents and any petty cash that you use remains safe, you might want to consider getting an office safe.  Office safes come in a variety of sizes, shapes and styles.  Some of the things to look for are a burglary rating, a fireproof rating, and the type of locking mechanism used on the safe.  Burglary ratings are usually specified in minutes, with TL-15 and TL-30 being common ratings.  Fireproof ratings are usually expressed in hours, with a typical rating for an office safe being a 2 hour fireproof rating.

There are several different types of locking mechanisms available.  The most common are the keylock, the combination dial lock and the electronic keypad lock.  The electronic keypad locking mechanism is the most convenient.  With this type of locking mechanism, you simply enter a pin number on an electronic keypad similar to the ones found on ATM machines.  The correct pin number opens the safe, and you can assign multiple pin numbers to different people.  This allows you to see who accessed the safe and when.  For more information on the office safe.
