Safe
Options
We can customize your existing safe or
a new safe with a myriad of different options.
These include time locks, specific colour
schemes, posting slots, treasury cabinets,
extra key locks, digital combination locks,
safe relocations and more.
Servicing: Just like a car that isn’t
serviced, a safe that is neglected will
cause problems. If your car breaks down
you can still get it fixed without much
difficulty. However, to fix a safe you first
have to get it open! That’s where it
becomes expensive. Generally a safe should
be serviced every 1 – 5 years depending
upon use. You can bring in your safe lid
(for a floor safe) or we can come to you.
The beauty of getting us out is that we
will ask the question “ When was the
last time the combo was changed?” This
is often greeted with the answer, “
I don’t know”. We can also show
you how to decide on a good combination
and how to set it. If you make a mistake
we can fix it quickly. I often “talk
through” my clients when changing a
combination over the phone so please call
before if your unsure.
Choosing a suitable combination: I have
seen combinations written on the front of
safes, in the back of teledex’s and
many where the combination is the business
phone number or the users birthday. With
a typical 3-wheel combination the last number
must be over 20, should be spread out and
try to avoid numbers ending with 0 or 5.
A bad combination would be 23-19-60 or 20-40-60
and a good one would be 23-78-34. With digitals
avoid obvious sequences such as 1-2-3-4-5-6.
I also suggest joining all the numbers together
writing it down and placing it in a secure
location.(not inside the safe)
Safe Tips
Where possible always secure your safe
with quality fasteners. We use and recommend
Ramset Chemset masonry anchors. Where your
safe does not have a ‘bolt down’
hole it is possible to glue the safe down.
Always ensure your safe is level and the
door will remain stationary in the open
position. If the door closes due to poor
alignment, the consequences could be substantially
costly (including broken or missing fingers!)
Ensure the safe door cannot jam the operator’s
fingers between it and a wall etc. Where
two safes are positioned side by side, ensure
the doors cannot touch each other. Never
position or stack safes on top of each other
with out them being secured of fixed properly.
Always engage the services of a professional
safe remover to move or position a heavy
safe. The risk to life, limb and your property
is not worth the money you would save. Never
attempt to service a high quality safe lock
yourself. You may get it working, but when
it locks you out, it will be costly and
inconvenient
