Why You Should Invest in a Safe

Break-Ins Are Becoming More Common

The FBI estimates that there are over 2.5 million burglaries every year with about two-thirds being home invasions. Further, homes without security systems are 300 percent more likely to be broken into and burglarized. Worse, police only solve about 13 percent of reported burglary cases. 

As you can tell, a little bit of added security goes a long way in protecting your valuables. While appliances, furniture, and televisions are challenging for burglars to carry out, possessions like cash, jewelry, and other personal treasured valuables are easy to grab and go. A safe is a great way to make these otherwise easy-to-steal items a bother.

Fireproof Safes Provide Extra Protection

Burglars are not the only threat to personal property. FEMA reports that there were over 1.3 million fires in 2018 alone and the property losses were more than $25 billion. A fireproof safe is a great way to protect valuables from turning into ash. This is especially important for important documents such as birth certificates, passports, wills, deeds, and photos. These fireproof safes come in 30 minute, 1-hour, and 2-hour ratings. This rating indicates how long they can withstand fires. So, if you live in the city, a 30-minute rating might be just fine whereas you probably want to go with the 2-hour rating if you live in the country.

Water Damage Is Serious

Water damage is even more common than fire damage with 14,000 people in the United States experiencing water damage at home or work each day. Similar to fire damage, water damage is especially risky for valuable documents such as birth certificates, passports, wills, deeds, and photos. Waterproof safes are even more reliable than fireproof safes, providing up to 48 hours of protection during a submersion.

Safes Keep Valuables Close

Property owners used to trust complete strangers with their property by renting bank safes. However, this meant that they would have to travel to the bank to retrieve the property. A safe in your home keeps your valuables close. Home safes can be installed in the walls, under your bed, or virtually anywhere in the home.
