Commercial Safes

Types of Commercial Safes

Commercial safes come in various sizes and offer different levels of protection based on your business needs. At Precision Safes, we provide a comprehensive selection to suit any commercial setting:

Deposit Safes

• Cash Security: These safes are ideal for businesses that handle large volumes of cash daily. Employees can securely drop cash into the safe without accessing the main compartment, preventing internal theft.
• Anti-Fish Features: Many deposit safes come equipped with anti-fish mechanisms, which prevent unauthorized access to deposited cash or valuables.

Fireproof Commercial Safes

• Fire Resistance: These safes are specifically designed to protect critical documents and valuable assets from fire damage. Most models can withstand extreme heat for 30 to 60 minutes.
• Dual Protection: In addition to fire protection, many models offer water resistance, protecting your assets from sprinkler systems or flooding.

High-Security Safes

• Maximum Protection: For businesses storing highly valuable items such as jewelry or cash, high-security safes provide reinforced steel and complex locking mechanisms to resist tampering and forced entry.
• Customizable Features: Choose safes with customizable shelving and additional locking compartments for enhanced organization and security.

What to Consider When Buying a Commercial Safe

When choosing the right commercial safe for your business, consider these important factors to ensure it meets your security requirements:

• What will you store in the safe?

Determine whether you need to secure cash, documents, valuables, or sensitive information, as this will influence the type and size of the safe you choose.

• How much security is required?

Depending on the value of the items you’re storing, you may need a high-security safe with a robust locking mechanism or a fireproof model to protect important documents.

• Where will you deploy the safe?

Location is key for convenience and security. Consider whether the safe will be wall-mounted, floor-mounted, or placed in a secure, discreet area of your business.

• Do you need fire or water resistance?

In areas prone to natural disasters or fires, fireproof and waterproof safes are essential for protecting sensitive items during emergencies.

Locking Mechanisms in Commercial Safes

Locking mechanisms are a critical component of any commercial safe. Here are some of the most popular locking options available at Precision Safes:

• Digital Locks: These provide quick access with a programmable PIN code. Ideal for businesses that require frequent access to the safe.
• Combination Locks: A traditional option that offers reliable security without the need for external power or batteries.
• Biometric Locks: Using fingerprint recognition technology, biometric locks offer high security by ensuring only authorized personnel can access the safe.

Questions to Ask When Buying a Commercial Safe

To ensure you select the right commercial safe, ask yourself these questions:

• What is the cash rating of the safe?

A safe’s cash rating determines the amount of money or valuable assets it can securely store. Businesses handling large volumes of cash should opt for safes with a high cash rating.

• Do you need fire resistance?

If your business deals with sensitive documents, choosing a fireproof safe is essential to ensure protection during a fire.

• How much space is available for the safe?

Consider the size of the safe and where it will be deployed. Make sure to measure the available space in your business to ensure the safe fits properly.

• What level of access control is required?

Different safes offer various levels of access. Depending on your business, you may need a safe with multiple locking compartments or one that restricts access to certain employees.
