Types of Antique Safes
Businesses have a lot to protect. Legal documents and cash can be protected from fires and theft in antique safes. A business safe needs to be more resistant to theft than a home safe. Legal documents still need to be accessible while staying protected. A fire proof file cabinet could work but would not have the theft protection that a safe offers.
A business that collects cash during business hours should invest in a front depository or rotary hopper safe. These antique floor safes allow employees to deposit cash in the top of the safe. The cash can only be withdrawn by opening the front of the safe with a key. These safes work best for gas stations or other businesses where they don't want large bills in the cash register. The money should be transferred to a more secure safe at night. Antique safes that look like decoration more than function will do this perfectly.
Most businesses today have important data stored on disks and CD's. This data can be damaged in heat above 150°F. A data safe can protect this data from fire better than a fire safe. A fire proof safe will keep the inside of a safe at 350°F or less. This is not a good temperature for electronic data. Data safes will keep the inside of the safe at a temperature that is safe for data, even during a fire. Older antique safes may even exceed these specifications.
For businesses with non-electronic data, fire proof safes are a good choice. They keep the inside of the safe at a temperature of 350F or less during a fire while providing protection from theft. Some of these fireproof safes offer two levels of protection by providing a smaller safe inside the larger, fire proof safe.
Wall safes are a popular choice for hotels, malls and other places where customers need a place to store their valuables while they are traveling. They are small enough for jewelry, purses and money. Some businesses even offer clandestine storage in their
proudly displayed antique safes.
It is important to choose the right business safe to protect the valuables in the company. Asking a retailer and looking online is the best way to get more information on choosing a safe. A protected company will not have to worry about data theft or the loss of theft in a fire. Keep an open mind and consider undervalued antique safes for your needs over brand new and possibly inferiorly constructed safes.
