These thefts, representing more than 40% of burglaries in the USA, only increase in this period of health crisis where companies are deserted by employees to telework, leaving the way open to thieves.
Therefore, it is essential to secure the company’s assets as much as possible using a safe that is resistant to break-ins and fire.

Our safes are available in several sizes and 3 types of locks depending on the security and the level of management you want in your safe.

Choose where to place the safe
It’s critical to concentrate on a strategic placement for your safe to optimize the protection of your possessions.
There aren’t many private and secret areas within a company’s facilities, but you can put it in the bottom of a cupboard or embed it in the wall of your locked office.
Therefore, you must place your safe in an unexpected and unusual place, where thieves will not have the idea of looking.
Use fastening joints to secure your safe to the wall and the floor to make it as secure as feasible.
There’s also the option of a built-in safe. To do so, cut a hole in the wall or floor the size of the safe, then attach it using fastening joints. For complete concealment, hide it behind a piece of furniture, a table, or a cupboard. Please pay heed! Before beginning this procedure, make sure the wall is load-bearing (terracotta, brick, concrete block) and that there are no gas pipes, water drainage, or electric cables.
Locksmith in Tampa Bay also provides the option of having your safe delivered, assembled, and installed to save you time and effort. If you require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact us [www.locksmithnearmetampabay.com].
