For a person who is looking for more than just a souvenir safe-cache , and a model with maximum security indicators, the price is unlikely to matter. But it is important to understand that blindly believing a consultant's advertising path is not the most reliable. To find an acceptable option for yourself, you need to know some facts about the fire-resistant safe.
Safes for the apartment - choose fire-resistant
The first thing that is important to understand is that not always burglar resistant models are also fireproof at the same time. Many sellers disingenious, speaking about fire resistance of this or that model only because walls of the safe are thick enough. In fact, the fireproof burglar-proof safe has its own specific moments in the design. Inside, not only the metal, between the two outer parts is a layer of concrete. Concrete has a fine-grained structure, which makes it fire-resistant, does not allow burning. But at the same time in the issue of strength, concrete can not boast of high performance. It is especially important to provide strength in the castle area. And the castle itself can not be ordinary.
That's why a truly fire-resistant safe for a house with a lock-resistant lock is rare. The cost of such a model will be incredibly high. The thing is that cracking and fire resistance is achieved by almost the opposite methods. As for the castle itself, it must necessarily be thermal. Such a system of locks is not afraid of heating, while it has the highest indicators against breaking. The locking system is three-way bolt, it excludes drilling or knocking out the lock.
Frost-and-fire resistant safes will have to be searched for a long time. If we need a layer of strong concrete to increase the burglar resistance index, then to ensure low thermal conductivity, its structure must be opposite to the fine-grained concrete. Fireproof safe for the house must necessarily have a certificate. In most cases, they talk about crack-proof 1 class safes with a fire resistance limit of 60 minutes.
So, let's sum up the issue of the choice of safes for the apartment, in particular fire-resistant:
- If the selected model has high resistance to burglary, this is not yet a guarantee of resistance during a fire. These two parameters are difficult to combine, which affects the price of the safe directly. For strength, a dense layer of concrete is required, and a low thermal conductivity is porous. Many models are called jellied or backfilled, since a special mass is placed between the walls of the metal.
- If you need to find a model with high fire resistance and secure content, it's good to tell the consultant what exactly will be stored. If this is only a paper medium, the letter B will indicate the fire resistance class, and also the storage of the film, and the DIS means storage of magnetic media.
- Next, you need to think about what can threaten the content more, fire or hacking. As practice shows, in only one case out of ten it is a hacking, the other nine are on fire.
- When choosing a particular model, be sure to carefully study the information on the type of lock, the size of the safe and the method of fixing it in the chosen place. It is important to study not only the number of shelves and their size, but also the content for which the model is intended.
For obvious reasons, it is impossible to search for safes of this type among little-known firms. Your task is to find out the list of the most tested models presented in the city store. Next, it is good to clarify once again the consultant with the filling in the walls and the system of locks. As practice shows, a deliberate purchase, made without haste, justifies expectations.
