Vaults and Safes

A jewelry safe usually refers to a safe that is burglary rated.  An example rating would be a TL 15 rating.  This means that the safe has been tested by UL to withstand break-in by a professional locksmith using common locksmithing tools for a period of 15 minutes.  This may not seem like very long, but it’s a long time to a burglar - they rely on a quick in-and-out whenever they rob a location.  Most burglars do not have the skills required to open a TL 15 rated safe.

Jewelry safes typically have thicker doors and bodies than regualar safes, and have a drill-resistant top plate surrounding the locking mechanism.  They typically have 5″ thick doors, 2″ thick bodies and use 1-1/2″ locking bolts.  They are also a lot heavier than regular safes, meaning that they cannot be easily carried off.   So if you need the ultimate in security for your valuables, consider getting a TL 15 or 30 rated jewelry safe.  For more information on the jewelry safe.
