buying pre-used safes

It can be difficult to determine which pre-used safe is good and which are a waste of money. Especially if you’re new to this market, it is almost impossible to determine how old the safe is, its strength & durability, and its level of resistance to an attack. In this case, it is always a wise idea to seek advice from a professional security safe expert. Safeguard Safes have been in the safe industry for over 35 years and received countless 5 star reviews for our product and services in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. We can give you assistance when it comes to choosing the best pre-used safe for your home or business.

One thing you should keep in mind before buying a pre-used safe is to check if the locking mechanism is functioning. It is an extremely risky business decision to purchase a safe without a working combination or key. Safes are usually bulky and challenging to move without the right tools and years of experience. So the last thing you want is to purchase the safe, transport it to your location, and then discover how much it will cost to unlock and service. This can be quite a daunting experience. We’ve unlocked a lot of safes for people who felt they were getting a good deal and bought something that ended up getting a charge greater than the price of a new safe. If you didn’t do your research and seek expert advice before purchasing your secondhand safe, it might be a better choice to purchase a new safe that fits your needs and budget.

It’s also important to remember that the average lifespan of a commercial or jeweller safe is 15 to 30 years. This is because it is hard for safe manufacturers to predict what devices or tools will be developed in the future that could be used to circumvent a safe’s defences. The majority of safes manufactured before 1950 are simple to unlock using modern oxy and plasma cutting tools.

The other piece of advice from us is to stay with brands that have a reputation in the market, such as Chubb Safes, Lord Safes, or CMI Safe Co. Some other companies who are good for buying pre-used safes from are Kumahira safes, Alliance safes, Major Safe Co., Jorgensen safes, Wormald Safe Co., Sterling Safe Co., ASC Safe Co., Guardall Safes, Firemaster safes, Kingdom Safes, Pioneer Safe Co., London Safes, Tank safes, Sterling safes, etc. Ajax Safe Co., Pioneer Safe Co., Austral Safe Co., and Phoenix Safe Co. are a few older, less secure safe manufacturers. We will gladly refurbish your old safe, of course. Give us a call on 1300 764 971 if you want to have your safe painted a particular colour or fitted with a digital lock. 

We generally provide a 12-month warranty on the majority of safes. Our safe warranty applies to all reconditioned used safes we sell. We will provide you an unbiased assessment if you are considering purchasing a used safe, even if you decide to purchase it elsewhere.
