Important documents containing confidential information and cash are often stored in companies as well as home offices. To keep your valuables safe, it's worth investing in a robust safe that can withstand both burglary and fire.
Before choosing the right safe, you need to consider what its contents will be. This is what determines both the resistance class of the protection and the type of security features used in it. In the case of important documents, such as contracts, notarial deeds and archive prints, fire resistance and prevention of unauthorised opening of the device should be enough. A good solution in this case is a large fireproof filing cabinet, which is a compromise between a fireproof safe and a steel cabinet. It is protected against burglary by a system of locking bolts and a robust safe structure, while a special coating protects against high temperatures. On the other hand, file safes with security level A/S1 can be used for filing documents and keeping files.

A safe is indispensable in offices where expensive items, securities, confidential contracts, data or cash are kept. You can choose between furniture and free-standing models, as well as those designed for data storage. Protection can involve a potential break-in or fire. In the case of small items and cash, it is worth opting for a small, discreet solution and matching the resistance class to their value. Furniture safes, which can be successfully hidden in a desk or a wardrobe, are very space-saving and aesthetically pleasing. They use advanced locking systems and optimum fire protection. The interior and dimensions can be adapted to individual requirements. Depending on the model, the protection classes are: S1, S2 and I.

If you want to store larger items in your office, such as product prototypes, valuable equipment, parts or works of art, it is worth investing in a free-standing safe. They are available in a wide range of models and burglary resistance classes. They can be stylistically matched to the equipment e.g. by using additional internal lockers or adjustable shelves. They can also be anchored to the floor, making it impossible for thieves to remove the device. If the office is frequently visited by clients, one can in turn be tempted to choose a safe with armoured glass or made of Plexiglas. Such solutions allow the safe presentation of exclusive products, for example.
In many companies, data and files are the most valuable assets. To protect them from theft, they need to be kept in a dedicated location. Special safes for data carriers, such as CDs, DVDs or streamer tapes, are adapted to them in terms of size and equipment. You can choose from small safes, perfect for home offices, to large wardrobe-like models. Individual types differ from each other in size, equipment and resistance class ranging from S1, S2 to I, II, III.
