CMI Miniguard Review

In order to meet the market demand for affordable small home safes, the CMI miniguard was created. In the CMI miniguard range, there are three sizes available, the Miniguard MG2, Miniguard MG3 and Miniguard MG4. All three model sizes come in three locking options for your selection, which is mechanical key locking, combination dial and digital keypad access, this gives customers the freedom to select the locking mechanism that they feel most comfortable with. All of the Miniguard models are priced under $900 dollars, which is a fair price given the amount of material and technology that goes in these safes.

There has been an increasing amount of poor quality low costing budget safes out on the market nowadays, and unfortunately this has caused some confusion and made it even harder for the customers to select the right safe that is good quality, reliable and within their budget. In actual fact, a lot of uncertified low budget safes under $600 are junk and wouldn’t provide the required security for the contents kept within the safe. If you’re looking into a secure and reliable home safe, in our professional opinion, we would advise you to look at the cash rating of the safe.

Cash rating, also known as insurance rating, is a term used in the insurance industry to measure the safe’s resistance against theft and burglary. It allows us to compare safes based on their attack resistance.

All CMI Miniguard safes have an insurance rating of $10,000. On top of that, they also have a 30 minute fire rating, and bolt down holes are included as a standard. In the event that the lock is blasted off due to a burglary attack, there is a secondary relocker installed as a second layer of protection. The door slab of the safe, also known as its outer skin, is 6mm mild steel.

A close competition to the CMI Miniguard safe is the Guardall FP100. It is a small yet powerful safe that has an approximate cash rating of $12,000.
