Some other important things to note about the Defiance Safe co safes

Before buying a Defiance safe, ask yourself some relevant questions.

For example:

  • What will be the prime purpose of the safe? Is it to store data, cash, jewellery, or anything else.
  • The physical size of the defiance safe you require - in doing this, makes sure you have the room to place it in. Remember the inside of a safe is smaller than the outside so check it out internally for size.
  • What shelving and features do you require for example removable and adjustable shelves or slide out tray etc.
  • What locking mechanism would you prefer: key locking, combination dial locking or digital locking.

We always recommend you to use a qualified safe Technician to install your safe, this will ensure you that it is secure to a professional standard.

Maintenance for Defiance Safes and Fire Resistant Filing Cabinets 

The Defiance Safe Range of products are designed and built to provide decades of reliable service. With this being said, the occasional lubrication of the door hinges and bolt work may be needed. Other safe maintenance requirements may include changing of the battery on the Defiance electronic digital safe models. This typically should be done approximately every 12 months, but this may depend on the frequency of use of the safe.

It is always advisable to have locks and mechanisms on any Defiance safe or filing cabinet serviced by a professional qualified safe Technician or safe Locksmith. This is recommended to be carried out every two years depending on the frequency of use of the safe. But always keep in mind if the safe gives the slightest indication of not operating correctly, a safe Technician should be called to perform a service or rectify the problem. Neglecting this indication will result in a safe malfunction or lock out situation that then becomes a major expense and inconvenience when a simple call out from a safe Expert would have resolved the safe problem.

When you purchase a Defiance Fire Resistant Safe or Filing Cabinet from Safeguard Safes you can be assured that the sales person you're dealing with is a professional and qualified safe Expert.
