Safes or strong boxes are used for storing valuable items in order to ensure that they are not stolen or damaged. Security safes are essentially cast out of strong metals such as iron or steel and invariably come with advanced locking systems to restrict unwarranted access. The locking systems can be of different types such as combination locks, traditional lock and key systems, time locks or electronic digital locks which require entering a certain numerical or alphanumeric password to gain entry.
Technological advancements in the field have enabled manufacturers to incorporate state of the art locking systems based on thumb print identification or even voice and face recognition software.
Traditionally security safes have been used to safeguard jewelry or precious items such as gold, silver or gem stones and also for storing currency. Security safes can either be wall mounted and immovable or placed on the floor. There are hidden or concealed security safes that do not allow detection and are cleverly hidden on a wall front or floors, which offer added protection by avoiding discovery. There are also large and small safes that are stand alone.
Important Parameters that define safe locker systems:
*The main features that most security safes come with are imperviousness to fire and thieves as well as the ability to insulate the contents within from environmental influences such as water or dust.
*Most ordinary low cost safes offer protection against theft but might not be fire resistant or have the ability to ensure the protection of its contents from external harmful agents.
*The fire resistant security safes however come with an advanced fire safety features which offer varying degrees of protection.
*The degree of protection offered allows for industrial standard classification of such safes into different categories based on their level of resistance to heat and fire and the duration for which such resistance is offered.
*There are waterproof safes that ensure complete insulation for the contents from moisture. Simultaneously they offer complete protection from dust and other chemical agents that might harm the contents. They are also impact resistant to such a degree that the contents would be secure even in the resulting destruction from an earthquake or even if the safe is piled over with heavy debris.
The importance of Data Protection Security Safes:
*High end security safes are those that are usually used for storing large amounts of currency or other valuables also double up as data protection systems. These safes protect various kinds of data from damage ranging from paper documents to magnetic disks or compact disks.
*Most data storage devices are susceptible to even minor changes in temperature or are otherwise sensitive to light and magnetic field interference.
*The high end data protection security safes ensure complete insulation of such data storage devices like microfilm, microfiche, compact disks and magnetic disks from external agents such as heat and fire as well as interfering magnetic fields.
