The Top 5 Features to Look for in High Security Safes

High Security Safes

In today’s world, the importance of high security safes cannot be overstated. With the ever-evolving nature of threats, both digital and physical, the demand for reliable and robust high security safes has surged across the country.

Businesses, big and small, are increasingly recognising the need for quality security solutions to protect their valuables, sensitive documents, and cash reserves. High security safes not only offer peace of mind but are often also essential for meeting stringent insurance requirements. Insurers often mandate the use of certified high security safes to reduce risk levels and provide coverage, making the selection of an appropriate safe critical for compliance and protection.

Amidst this growing need, Trident Safes specialises in a range of safes, including Eurograde 4 safes, Eurograde 5 safes, Eurograde 6 safes. We offer unparalleled protection for your valuables.

These safes are designed to meet the highest standards of security, providing formidable barriers against burglary and unauthorised access. Partnering with us means your business can find the perfect blend of sophisticated security features and reliability, ensuring your assets are safeguarded with the utmost care and expertise.

1. Advanced Locking Mechanisms: Key to Deterring Unauthorised Access

At the heart of high security safes lies their advanced locking mechanisms, essential for stopping unauthorised access. Biometric locks offer personalised security through fingerprint or retina scans, ensuring access is strictly limited to authorised individuals.

Electronic locks provide flexibility with customisable codes, enhancing security by allowing for quick code changes in response to potential breaches.

Modern combination locks have evolved to offer high resistance to manipulation, presenting a significant challenge to unauthorised entry attempts.

These sophisticated locking systems are not just physical barriers; they also serve as psychological deterrents, discouraging potential intruders with their complexity and security features.

Based on your requirements we can prioritise the integration of these cutting-edge technologies when helping you choose a high security safe, including Eurograde 5, Eurograde 6, and Eurograde 4 models.

2. Robust Construction Materials: The Foundation of Safe Security

The materials used in the construction of high-security safes play a pivotal role in determining their effectiveness against break-ins and damage. Steel, renowned for its strength and durability, is a cornerstone material in safe manufacturing. It provides a formidable barrier against physical attacks, making it significantly more challenging for intruders to breach the safe. The thickness and quality of the steel used directly influence the safe’s resistance to cutting, drilling, and other forms of forced entry.

Composite materials (materials with a combination of base materials) are also integral to enhancing a safe’s security features. These materials often include a blend of metals and other substances with different chemical and physical properties designed to increase fire resistance, thermal insulation, and shock absorption. This not only helps protect the contents from fire and heat damage but also adds an additional layer of difficulty for those attempting to break into the safe through conventional means.

The quality of construction is crucial; it determines how well a safe can withstand attempts at forced entry or damage. Well-constructed safes, featuring seamless welds and precision engineering, leave little to no weak points for attackers to exploit. This construction quality is vital for ensuring that the safe remains intact and secure under duress, safeguarding its contents against theft and environmental hazards.

Our Eurograde 5, Eurograde 6, and Eurograde 4 safes are built to offer unmatched resistance to break-ins and damage, using the best in steel and composite materials.

3. Fire and Water Resistance: Essential Protection for Your Valuables

For high security safes, resistance to fire and water is not just an added benefit—it’s essential. These features ensure that in the event of emergencies, such as fires or floods, your valuables remain protected. Fire resistant high security safes are designed to withstand extreme temperatures, safeguarding important documents, electronic devices such as laptops or hard drives and other sensitive items from the devastating effects of fire. These safes are tested to endure specific temperatures for a set duration, offering peace of mind that your assets are secure even in the fiercest of blazes.

Water resistance is equally critical, especially in areas prone to flooding or in scenarios where firefighting efforts might introduce water into the safe. Water resistant safes are engineered to prevent water ingress, protecting contents from moisture damage that could ruin paper documents or electronic devices.

For instance, in a fire, a fire-resistant safe can keep internal temperatures below a critical threshold, ensuring paper documents don’t char or burn. Similarly, in a flood, a water resistant safe can keep out water, preserving the integrity of its contents.

It’s important to recognise the importance of these protections and ensure you’re covered for fire and water resistance when selecting high security safes, including our Eurograde models.

4. Customisable Size and Interior: Tailoring to Your Security Needs

The versatility in size and customisable interiors of high security safes is a crucial aspect that caters to a wide range of security needs. Understanding that every

client has unique requirements, safes are designed in various sizes, from compact models suitable for personal valuables to larger safes and vaults capable of storing substantial amounts of cash, documents, and other significant assets.

The ability to customise the interior layout of a high security safe adds another layer of adaptability. Adjustable shelves, drawers, and compartments allow for the organised storage of items, maximising space efficiency and making it easier to access what you need, when you need it. This customisation ensures that whether you’re safeguarding jewellery, documents or electronic devices, there’s a configuration that meets your specific requirements.

For businesses, this flexibility means being able to secure a variety of assets in a manner that aligns with operational needs. We offer a wide range of high security safes with customisable interiors, including our Eurograde 5, Eurograde 4, and Eurograde 6 safes.

5. Accreditation and Certification: Ensuring Peace of Mind and Compliance

The significance of industry certifications and accreditations for high-security safes cannot be overstated. These credentials serve as a testament to a safe’s reliability and effectiveness in protecting valuables against theft and damage. Accreditation from recognised standards bodies assures that the safes have undergone rigorous testing to meet specific security, fire resistance, and durability criteria.

For businesses and individuals alike, choosing a certified safe is crucial for peace of mind. Knowing that your valuables are stored in a safe that meets or exceeds industry standards can significantly reduce the worry associated with security risks. Furthermore, insurance companies often require the use of certified safes as part of their policy conditions. Having a safe with the proper accreditation can be a determining factor in the coverage and premiums offered, making it an essential consideration for anyone looking to insure their valuables. See our safe cash rating guide.

Certifications such as Eurograde (EN 1143-1) are particularly noteworthy, as they provide a clear indication of a safe’s ability to withstand attempted break-ins and attacks. Safes with Eurograde certification are ranked based on their security level, with higher grades offering greater protection.

This grading system allows customers to choose a safe that matches their specific security needs and complies with insurance requirements. If you’re unsure on the level of accredited safe you need for your purpose then see our helpful Safes for your industry Guide.
