Congratulations if you’re starting the search for your new fire resistant safe! You’re about to make an extremely wise investment in the protection of things that are important to you. If you already own a reliable and useful safe, you’re undoubtedly taking advantage of all its advantages already.
Making the purchase count and maximising your return would be the smart thing to do because safes frequently cost a large sum of money. In order to make the most of your fire resistant safe for your home or office, we are providing some useful advice in this blog to assist both soon-to-be safe owners and current safe owners.
You should know what to store and not to store in your fire resistant safe. While there isn’t a one standard rule for what you can or cannot place inside your fire resistant safe, you should keep in mind that moisture buildup inside can damage your documents and electronic devices, even if it doesn’t harm the safe. Since you’ve already put a lot of money in the safe, it only makes sense to take precautions to ensure that nothing gets too wet as to begin to grow mould.
You can store the following things in a safe as long as you routinely air it out and add silica gel to keep the inside of your safe dry: important documents, insurance policies, cash, firearms, jewellery, and other valuable collections.
Take note that some safes are more suitable for particular items. For example, a fire resistant media safe would be more appropriate for your needs if your intention is to protect CDs, hard drives, and memory cards.
You should also take some time to learn about the caring of your fire resistant safe, whether new or pre-used. After all, the longer your safe continues to safeguard your things, the better you will be able to protect your possessions. Some people who own safes may begin to roughhouse it and slamming the doors shut after each use. This is definitely not the ideal way to treat your safe. A fire resistant safe for your home or office can withstand both fire and burglary attacks, but that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t still take care when using it. Its long-term preservation is the main objective. For longer lasting usage life of your safe, we would suggest routine battery replacements, the use of silica gel to prevent moisture building up, and at least 20 minutes of airing out the safe every two weeks.
You could also look into investing in annual inspection and service of your fire resistant safes. It is wise to hire a professional Locksmith to examine the safe and lubricate the hinges and locking mechanism at least once per year. The last thing you want is to find yourself with a safe that has the door stuck. This is not only a concern in an emergency, it is also very annoying when you need to get something in or out quickly.
It makes sense to make an effort to ensure your fire resistant safe continues to operate as intended, because maintaining one is pretty simple and you get a lot in return.
