Selecting the Correct Commercial Safe

There are many different types of safes available in today’s market and each one has different capabilities, the appropriate choice will depend on the property to be protected and the associated risk to that property.

Examples of commercial safes include:

• Depository safes

• Document safes

• Fire safes

• Floor safes

• Wall safes

• Key control safes

A restaurant or retail establishment might consider installing a deposit safe in order for employees to safely deposit money without accessing the primary storage area. A place of business that wants to make sure its contracts, records, and other important documents are safe from fire damage could focus on a fire-safe.

Placement and Installation of Commercial Safes

The safe should be placed somewhere that it is both secure and accessible by authorized personnel.

Depending on the model of the safe, the safe will either be anchored to the floor, mounted to a wall, set into cabinetry, under a counter, or in a fortified room.

Some of the factors to consider before installing the safe include:

• Structural integrity of the floor

• Delivery access

• Clearance

• Door swing

• Visibility

• Exposure to moisture

• Construction around the safe

If the safe is not secured properly, it could be easily removed by thieves.

Code Combination and Access Code Changes

Combinations and access codes must be changed in case of employee separation, change of management, ownership, security breach, or any other suspicious activities.
