Anchoring your safe

     A safe is only as good as the time and effort that it takes to be cracked or stolen.

     If a criminal tries to break into a highly rated safe he will need a substantial amount of time, high-grade equipment, and more likely than not will draw attention to himself in the process.

     The most common thing a thief will do is steal the safe. Once they have the safe they can open it at their leisure, and the job is done. So the solution is to bolt the safe to the ground, and it will increase protecting your valuables to a high extend.The typical home burglary lasts about 10 minutes so to imagine a thief being able to crack open a safe, empty the contents, and then leave with the valuables inside seems like a bit of a stretch. But what happens if the burglar is able to take the entire safe? Then he has an unlimited amount of time cracking it open, he can use whatever instruments he possesses and can make as much noise as he requires.

     The best way to ensure a criminal can’t (or would have a tough time trying to) take a safe with him is to anchor it down. However, not all safes require this precaution as you’ll see.

Heavy Safes Are Too Big to Take

     Safes over a certain weight limit can’t realistically be taken. For example, it would be incredibly difficult for a burglar to take the EN Rated safes and ULTL rated safes in one swipe. Measuring 690x600x561mm, these safes weighs at least over 250 kg to 1000 kg and is constructed using a tempered glass resistant barrier material to protect the boltwork system with internal barrier constructed body composition. This high-security safe is tested to Euro Grade 1-2-3 standards and has a cash rating of  $ 15,000 up to $460,000 in valuables. As you can imagine, it would be quite the feat to take this safe in one shot.
