Protecting your valuables in a home safe while you're away this Easter

The Easter public holiday is fast approaching, with many States opening up in Australia, a lot of people have chosen to travel during this time. When you’re away from your home, the valuables you have in your place are facing the threat of getting stolen by Criminals that break into your house. As a matter of fact, a statistic in 2018 indicated an average of 3 houses per hour are being attacked by burglars and intruders. As unemployment rises during recent years, this statistic is only getting worse, and it is more crucial than ever to protect your valuable assets from the hands of thieves and burglars. Installing a home safe can help you to protect your belongings from the threat of intruders. In this blog we listed the benefits associated with getting your own quality home safe installed this Easter. 

A home safe gives you peace of mind
Knowing that your important and expensive assets are safely kept inside a security safe offers you the ultimate peace of mind. You’ll be able to enjoy your time away from home this Easter to its full extent, without having to worry about intruders breaking into your home and stealing your valuables. A well placed home safe such as the Guardian Security home Safe GDS1K or the CMI Security Safe Basic 2D, when installed properly can contribute to the relaxing mindset that every household deserves, it enables you to relax and unwind. 

A home safe protects sensitive and confidential document & data
Confidential and sensitive documents such as birth certificate, deeds, passports, as well as USB drives containing digital data should all be well maintained in a home safe. These documents are priceless and may be required at any time. Keeping these close to you, yet secretly locked away allows you to access them quickly while also safeguarding them from getting misplaced, destroyed, or stolen. 

A fire resistant safe protects your valuables from fire hazard
Fire hazard is a factor you should always keep in mind, especially when you’re away from your home. Your valuables are vulnerable during the event of a fire. Fortunately, fire resistant home safes can help you out in this situation. If you invest in a fire resistant safe such as a Burg Wachter Combi Line Safe CL440E with 30 minutes fire resistance, or a Falcon Treasury TS1 with 60 minutes fire resistance, it can safeguard its contents for up to the proposed time, and ensures valuable time is given to wait for firefighters to arrive. 

A home safe guards your belongings from in-house workers
Nowadays, most people require in-house staff such as nannies, cleaners, plumbers, electricians or other tradespeople. Some of them visit your home on a regular basis, while others visit on a weekly or even daily basis. Some would even be  required to enter your premises while you’re away, especially during Easter time. While you wouldn’t hire someone without first researching their credentials and background, it is still smart to be cautious. Having a home safe would add an extra layer of security in protecting your valuables. 

A home safe keep electronics away from your children
As a parent, you know that taking away children’s phones, game consoles, iPads and other electronic devices is a good approach to enforce discipline. If you simply store them away in a closet or drawers, it may not be sufficient. Your children will find ways to reclaim their electronics. A secure domestic safe in this case can be used to keep the electronic devices away from their access. Keep in mind you shouldn’t disclose your safe’s digital pass code or location of the keys.
