1. Being greedy for cheap prices
Safes are not just ordinary decorations. As the saying goes, "you get what you pay for," and the same applies to safes. Safes of the same size can vary in price by more than ten times, demonstrating the difference in quality. Henan Huadu Times Furniture suggests that companies should generally purchase safes around 70cm in diameter, priced between 2000-3000 yuan, to provide adequate protection for valuables. Safes costing only 300-500 yuan are generally not recommended, unless you simply want them as decoration.
Second: No need for a safe at home.
According to statistics from the safe and security cabinet wholesale market, the proportion of households in China that have purchased safes is about 20%, while in some developed countries, the household safe ownership rate is as high as 50%-60%. The lack of security awareness among Chinese people regarding the safekeeping of their valuables is a serious concern, and high-end residential areas are also one of the main targets of thieves. Therefore, decorative safes are a good place to store valuables.
Three: The heavier the safe, the better.
Some people think that the heavier the safe (cabinet), the better! But that's not true.
First, if it's made entirely of steel plates and the quality of the locks and accessories is similar, heavier is definitely better! Conversely, if you compare a safe filled with cement to an all-steel safe, the one filled with cement is likely to be heavier. Besides, customers are buying insurance and peace of mind, not a lump of cement wrapped in thin sheet metal.
Secondly, different styles of safes will inevitably vary in weight. Consumers should choose a size and style suitable for their placement, rather than focusing solely on weight. For example, if the floor is covered, an excessively heavy safe can easily damage the floor. As safes become increasingly common in homes, weight is no longer the most important factor. A safe that is half the weight of its predecessor may have several times greater resistance to attack. Therefore, overall performance is a better indicator of product quality than simply weight. Thus, consumers should use the correct methods to assess quality when purchasing safes to avoid common pitfalls and buy a product that truly suits their needs.
Four: Safes, information cabinets, and anti-magnetic cabinets are the same.
Many companies now have information cabinets, leading many to believe that information cabinets eliminate the need for safes. However, safes and information cabinets are different. Safes are primarily for theft prevention, sometimes with additional fire protection. Therefore, they emphasize enhanced anti-theft performance through sophisticated locks, thicker steel construction, and stronger bolts. Information cabinets, on the other hand, are mainly used to store media containing important information, such as paper, disks, CDs, and precision instruments. Therefore, they emphasize enhanced fireproofing, moisture-proofing, anti-magnetic properties, and anti-static properties.
The main functions of a safe are: theft prevention and fire protection;
The main functions of the information cabinet are fireproof and anti-magnetic.
Anti-magnetic cabinets are mainly used to prevent CDs and disks from being magnetized.
5. Safes only need to be kept clean on the outside; no maintenance is required.
Many customers buy safes and then leave them unattended, opening them only once when needed and leaving them unattended for months at a time. However, safes also require maintenance. Here are some tips for daily safe maintenance: Keep the opening combination confidential and remember it; protect the "management key"; keep the manufacturer's service number handy; keep the keyhole clean and do not force it open; replace the batteries regularly; avoid strong impacts that could trigger alarms and disrupt work and life; place it in an inconspicuous location; proper use and maintenance will protect the safe's lifespan and appearance.
