What should you pay attention to when purchasing a home safe?

With the improvement of people's living standards and security awareness, the demand for safes has surged, and home safes have become a strong trend. From storing soft documents such as CDs, property certificates, stamps, paintings, securities, and bank deposit slips, to storing physical items such as laptops, cameras, watches, antiques, and gold and silver jewelry, the scope of storage has become increasingly broad and diverse. Huadu Safes has been dedicated to the production and research and development of safes for over 30 years, with a network covering most cities nationwide, leading the safe industry. The editor of Henan Huadu Times Furniture has compiled the following aspects to help you.

1. Size Requirements

Before purchasing a safe, first determine its specifications and dimensions. The choice of size mainly considers two aspects: first, the size of the items to be stored, especially the maximum length, width, and height of the items and their compatibility with the safe's dimensions; second, the suitability of the safe's installation location. Generally, a safe installed in a wall should not exceed 20 centimeters in depth, and a safe installed in a wardrobe should not exceed the depth of the wardrobe itself (the standard depth of a wardrobe is 60 centimeters). Therefore, be sure to choose a safe based on your actual needs before purchasing.

2. Anti-theft performance

Anti-theft performance is a crucial indicator for evaluating safes. Beyond brand reputation, it's essential to compare the thickness and material of the steel plates in key areas, as well as the choice of locks. The most direct method is to check the product's testing report. Many safes are available on the market, some costing only a couple hundred yuan. But, dear readers, if you're buying a safe, would you dare put your valuables in such a cheap metal box? When purchasing a safe, look for the 3C mark; this is a mandatory national certification standard. Safes without the CCC mark are merely storage boxes.

3. Usage Habits

The reliance on user habits mainly stems from consumers' choice of locks. The safe locks on the market are primarily mechanical and electronic. Mechanical locks are characterized by their traditional operation, which is generally easy for consumers to accept, but the combination cannot be changed by the user. Electronic locks offer more convenient combination changes and more functions, and are currently more popular in the market.

4. After-sales service

After-sales service is essential to ensure the normal use of a product. Currently, after-sales service for safes largely relies on local retailers. The quality of after-sales service can be judged not only by personal perception of the brand, but also by the coverage of the brand's sales network, the 400 toll-free hotline, subsequent service commitments, and the customer's behavior during the purchase process.

5. Product cost-effectiveness

The value of a safe isn't determined by its price, but by its intrinsic worth, particularly the brand. A good brand inherently comes with high-quality products and excellent service. Of course, comparison is also an option; select a product you're relatively satisfied with and weigh the price differences between other brands. However, when the price difference is minimal, choosing a product with higher security is generally more sensible.
