Choosing the Right Home Safe

The home storage safe you choose is going to store your most prized valuables. It is vital you choose wisely. The safe you pick should be suited to your specific needs, should have all the right features, and should be the right size. But most importantly, it should be extremely secure.

When investing in precious metals, such as gold, a lot of investors prefer to keep their valuables close at hand in case of emergencies. A good home storage safe is an inexpensive solution to keep your possessions secure and nearby.

If you’re investing in gold coins, you have the practical option of taking possession and storing precious metals in a secure home vault.

Safe and Secure

Choose a safe that can be affixed to a foundation or wall in your home. All safes that are sold will come with anchoring points designed for floor or wall mounting.

It’s important to utilize a safe that is waterproof and fireproof rated for added protection of your stored contents.

There are time limits to how long a safe can withstand a fire. A 2-hour minimum fire rating is recommended. Also, a waterproof safe is recommended to help ensure its contents remain dry.

Choosing a Secure Locking System

When it comes to choosing a safe, you must consider the safe’s locking system and determine what works best for you.

A biometric scanner is a highly secure digital lock option. A biometric scanner will ID a physical feature of the owner, such as their thumbprints or retinal scan. An electronic keypad system is a more commonly used lock option and only requires a simple Pin authentication to access. Both options are considered safe and secure lock options.

When choosing a safe and its electronic locking system, consider a safe that also offers a secondary means of access by physical key as an emergency access option.

What to look for when buying a home safe?

When purchasing a home safe, prioritize security features such as robust locking mechanisms and fire/water resistance. Look for reputable certifications to ensure peace of mind and consider ease of installation and accessibility for convenience.

How do I choose a security safe?

When choosing a security safe, assess your needs, such as protection against theft, fire, or both. Look for sturdy construction, reliable locking mechanisms, and appropriate size for your valuables and space constraints.

A secure option beyond home storage?

For maximum security beyond a home safe, consider private vault storage. Banking depository boxes or commercial storage facilities can offer a higher level of security than a home safe. Commercial depositories are insured and offer the convenience of delivery or liquidity with a simple phone call.

What is a good size for a home safe?

The ideal size for a home safe varies based on your storage requirements and the items you intend to safeguard. Typically, a 1 to 2 cubic feet safe is adequate for storing documents, jewelry, cash, and precious metals. However, assess future storage needs and available space to ensure the chosen size meets your long-term requirements.

Consult a Professional

When it comes to storing and securing your most prized possessions, you shouldn’t leave anything to chance. Do your research. Ask your precious metal account representative what kind of safe he uses, and why.
