Congratulations on purchasing the key safe for your home or office! The next big question to think about is where to install it. Your key safe is less likely to be stolen by thieves if it’s installed properly. Make sure it is securely fastened to your wall or floor with bolts so that it would be a challenge for criminals to remove it. The safe experts at Safeguard Safes put together a blog to give you some tips on where to install your key safe or key cabinet.
Mount it to the wall or floor
To minimise gaps around the safe, make sure it is tightly bolted against the wall or floor. Your key safe will be more vulnerable if there are gaps because a powerful tool could be used to detach the safe from the wall.
Keep it hidden
Place your key safe in a location that is hidden from view. Any unauthorised personnel wouldn’t be able to see exactly where it is. Also make sure no one will be able to see how you operate the opening of the safe.
Place near a security camera
It’s a good idea to keep your safe somewhere a security camera can capture clear images of entry to it. This will ensure you can always keep an eye out for any unusual activity near your key safe and remotely monitor how its contents are being used.
Keep it in a locked room
Your keys will be further secured if you keep your key safe in a locked room, then there is an extra layer of security. It is more difficult to breach, the more security layers you add to it. A place that only authorised individuals may enter will lessen the likelihood that a thief will find their way to your key safe or key cabinet.
Get some good lighting
Although your key safe is hidden from prying eyes, it would make the installation location more ideal if the place is well lit. This would allow you to quickly access your key safe and see all of its contents clearly for inventory and tracking purposes. Further to this, a well lit environment complements surveillance cameras because it makes it easier to spot thieves and get your goods back.
