Selecting your safe – what size to get?

what size safe to get

You’re looking into getting a safe to protect your valuable possessions, but which one should you get?

A good place to start would be considering what is the best size for your required safe. You can determine this by placing all the things you wish to keep in your new safe on the kitchen bench, this will give you a sense of the size and shelving need that suits you the best. 

You should also think about the additional space needed for the future. The last thing you want is to spend a lot of money on a safe, and then realise you need to upgrade it in a year or two because of the extra assets you acquired during this time that needs to go into the safe. 

After you determine the size of your safe, the next thing you need to decide on is the cash rating of your new safe. A good place to start is to calculate the estimated monetary worth of the goods you’re planning to store in your safe, and if these items are going to be insured. If this is the case, you’ll need to get a safe that fulfills the requirements of the insurance company or, in the case of an SMSF, the auditors.

If you want to keep your valuables and photos/memories secure in the case of a fire, you should look into getting a fire rated safe. Safeguard Safes stock a wide range of fire rated safes for your selection.
