Author: Trevor Marshall With an alarming increase on crime rates these days, more and
more people are getting cynical about their belongings and how
they can protect them against intrusion and the elements. Thus,
manufacturers and entrepreneurs came up with an idea on how to
safeguard man's valuable things and properties through a device
that can endure the test of time. And so, floor safes came into
the limelight. Basically, a safe has three main classifications
or configurations. They are the wall or wall-mounted safes, the
freestanding safes, and the in-floor or simply floor safes.
Without going into the details of the other two, let us discuss
the compositions of floor safes.
1. The Nature Of Floor Safes
Basically, floor safes, like its two counterparts, are
specially designed to provide protection and security to
valuables and other pertinent documents. As it name suggests,
floor safes are exclusively made to be mounted into the
concrete slab of the floor. Because of its position,
manufacturers of floor safes strongly suggest that the position
of the safe must be carefully analysed and considered so as to
maximize its potential. If mounted properly end extensively,
floor safes can be the best protection against burglary and
even tragedies like fire.
2. Installation
Floor safe installations are actually more complicated and more
expensive compared to wall safes. When installing floor safes,
you have to cut a slab out of the floor first. Then, you have
to dig a hole. After which the safe is placed into the hole and
more concrete is poured to cover the area. This will firmly
ground the safe and prevent it from being physically removed
during a burglary.
3. About Floor Safes
Floor safes are under the category of composites safes. That
means that they have a combination of two functions, to combat
fire and burglary. In its entirety, the floor safe has been
tested against all forms of burglary. The ratings that floor
safes obtain will also determine the price of the item.
One drawback that consumers find on floor safes is that it has
a tick wall covering, which, by practicality, floor safes
render smaller space as compared to the typical metal vaults or
the ordinary filing cabinets. But people must understand that
the main reason why floor safes are designed this way is
because of its purpose, and that is to protect the valuables
and not just be a mere storage item.
The other feature of floor safes is its electronic lock. It
provides convenience to the user because they no longer have to
rotate on a counting basis so as to open the safe. Plus, because
it is electronic, the floor safe's combination can be changed as
often as you like.
The ironic drawback of floor safes is that, during a burglary,
the burglar will have no option to try and take the safe with
him, which may instigate him to be more hostile and violent
with nearby hostages in hopes of obtaining the combination.
Thus, the floor safe should be considered the absolute ideal
safe for coverage at night and when no one is present.
