Experts tell you "How to choose and install a home safe?"

Home theft is a common experience, but many victims feel helpless because the chances of recovering stolen items are extremely slim. Therefore, many families with better financial means buy safes to store valuables. However, if your safe isn't properly concealed or of sufficient quality, it can be easily broken into by thieves. So today, Huadu Times will discuss how to choose a safe and where it's best to place it.

1. How to choose a home safe?

The primary function of a home safe is theft prevention, and some safes also include fireproofing, antimagnetic properties, and alarm functions. Several key aspects should be considered for theft prevention:

1. Material. Most safes are made of steel plates. The thicker and harder the steel plate, the less likely it is to be pried or deformed, and the less likely it is to be damaged.

2. The structure of the lock, especially the bolt. Firstly, solid bolts, or even multiple solid bolts, increase the security of the safe (there is also a winged latch design that provides double security). Lock structures are mainly of two types: mechanical and electronic. Mechanical locks are more traditional and usually cheaper, but using and changing the combination is cumbersome; electronic locks are currently more widely used, convenient, and have more functions, making them very popular with consumers.

3. The tightness of the safe's frame. Generally, the smaller the gaps between the door openings, the better the safe's anti-pry performance.

4. Opening Method. Currently, electronic safes are divided into fingerprint safes and password safes. Fingerprint safes offer excellent security due to the uncopyability of fingerprints and eliminate the hassle of remembering passwords, but they are more expensive. Password safes require remembering the password, are cheaper, but carry the risk of data leakage. In this regard, we recommend choosing a safe like the Aipu safe-which requires both a master key and a password to open, effectively reducing the risk of data leakage.

5. After-sales service. Safes are special products; any problems require professional repair. Good after-sales service is essential to ensure the product's normal operation. Currently, most after-sales service for safes relies on local retailers. We should pay attention to several aspects: brand, sales network coverage, after-sales commitments, and the distributor's strength. This will ensure we have no worries when using the product. In this regard, choosing a well-known brand can largely eliminate any concerns.

II. Where is the best place to put a home safe?

The use of a home safe needs to be considered during the interior design phase, as the style and function of the safe will vary depending on its location. There are several scenarios for installing a home safe:

1. Hidden in a wall opening, concealed by paintings, calligraphy, or movable furniture; this type of safe requires selecting a suitable size based on the wall thickness and is buried in the wall during renovation; these safes are usually small in size.

2. Concealed at a stairwell corner or within a room's mezzanine; this typically requires designing and constructing a very discreet door, invisible from the outside, with the safe only visible after the door is opened. This method can accommodate larger safes.

3. Installed in wardrobes, bedside tables, bed frames, or inside desks; Currently, the new drawer-type safe is undoubtedly the best choice for furniture-matching safes. It has a sturdy structure, novel design, is easy to use, and has strong concealment. It can be locked to the furniture with screws, and when matched with the same door panel, it blends perfectly with the home. In appearance, it is just like the drawers of ordinary furniture, which is both beautiful and practical.
