Let's call the client Mark. He was choosing a safe and discovered that outwardly similar models cost completely different things. A question has arisen:
“Isn’t a safe just a metal box with a lock?”
No.
Fire resistance and burglary resistance are different tasks
A fireproof safe is designed primarily to protect the contents from high temperatures. Burglar-resistant - to resist unauthorized physical access. Some models combine both functions, but they are not the same thing.
Why does the weight of a safe vary so much?
The design may be influenced by:
- metal thickness;
- wall fillers;
- door device;
- crossbar system.
Therefore, two safes of the same external size can differ significantly in weight.
Why is a safe attached to the floor or wall?
Even a good safe is useless if it can just be carried away. Many models provide standard anchor fastening. Installation must comply with:
- manufacturer's instructions;
- building structures;
- weight of the safe.
How are locks different?
Used:
- key;
- mechanical coded;
- electronic;
- combined systems.
The choice depends on the frequency of use and the task.
