Dear Ladies, there is a stereotypical perception that safes are a man's sphere of influence. Constructed of steel and concrete and weighing several hundred kilograms, the armour evokes a tank, not the delicacy and sensuality associated with the fairer sex. Furthermore, there is a cultural conditioning that it is a male responsibility to ensure the safety of the home and, by extension, everything that comprises it. Today, we will break down the stereotypes and try to prove that appearances are very misleading in this case. You have a lot more to say about safes than we men might think.
The jewellery safe
It is a popular and true opinion that the only pieces of jewellery adorning men are watches, cufflinks and (possibly) a wedding ring. Meanwhile, the world of your feminine jewellery is much richer; there are rings, earrings, necklaces, pendants, brooches and a host of treasures whose names we don't even know. Collected over a period of years and sometimes inherited from one generation to the next, this collection can be of enormous value and undoubtedly constitutes attractive loot for a burglar. In fact, during an intrusion of a few minutes, thieves take jewellery first. It is relatively small, lightweight and easy to hide. It is therefore our job to make sure that everything that is valuable to you is properly secured.
It is the woman who decides
Returning for a moment to the first paragraph, let us recall the folk proverb that says that if the man is the head of the house, the woman is the neck on which the head rests. We are not keen on generalising, however, let's face it – it is you women who have the final say on household expenses. Even the best-lauded deal to buy a safe won't go through if it doesn't get the approval of the lady of the house at the right time, and that's no exaggeration. You are excellent negotiators, you pay attention to details that escape the male eye, you have a phenomenal imagination to visualise the safe in the domestic space, and your sense of aesthetics is something that is not so obvious in men.
It is an amazing balance that you are able, on the one hand, to motivate us to do something useful and, on the other, to cool our ardour if it leads us astray. We recognise and appreciate this skill in working with you.
Appearance matters
There is an area where, there is no fooling ourselves, we don't stand a chance with you. It is the aforementioned sense of aesthetics and taste. It is said that men are visual, yet there are a whole host of nuances to which we indulgently wave our hands while you pay attention.
For us, a safe is a metaphorical tank: steel, concrete, rebar, electronics, dimensions, capacity, weight. For you, it is also a colour that you are able to define much better than us (as you know, men distinguish between two: pretty and ugly 😉) and place in the space around you. You pay attention to the texture of the paintwork, which resembles an orange peel as standard, but can also be slightly smoothed or even slippery. You will probably pay attention to the pleasure of using the safe, the ease or resistance of moving the bolts with the handle, and it may be more or less comfortable. If you decide on a special order and we make a personalised safe for you, we may spend more time on the choice of wood species, type of canvas or even the mechanism that moves the drawers than on the security class. And the light? The temperature of the light illuminating the inside of the safe when the door is opened can be higher or lower.
All this makes producing safes for you an insanely enjoyable challenge for us. In the routine of dealing with standard products, working for you, demanding, aware and determined customers, is an opportunity for us to rise above the everyday. We like and want to create solutions for you that suit your lifestyle, taste and preferences. Write to us, let's talk about a safe exclusively for you.
