<content><![CDATA[When researching to purchase a safe for your home or business a key factor to investigate is the safes cash rating. This will determine whether the safe will be suitable for your requirements and the contents to be stored in your safe. 

So what are Cash Ratings? 

Cash rated safes are engineered to protect against forced attack and are based on the safes level of security. Safes are tested by independent authorities and undergo a diverse range of testing to determine how long it would take for an intruder to crack the safe open.  

Premium and high quality manufactured safes will have higher cash ratings. Most inferior and cheaper style safes purchased at hardware stores generally do not have cash ratings that insurance companies support.  

Each safe&rsquo;s cash rating is decided by the thickness of the safe walls and door, the manufactured materials and security features and the quality of the locks. 

The cash rating may verify the amount an insurance company will provide if the safe is attacked. To be certain that your insurance company will cover the amount, it is advised to confirm directly with your insurance company. 

The amount of a cash rating is based on the safe being located in an environment without a monitored alarm. So, if your cash safe is positioned in a monitored application with an alarm the cash rating is expected to increase. This is another question to confirm with your insurance company. 

Platinum Safes have a large range of cash rated safes. For a cash rated home safe Platinum offers the Urban, Doco, Nova, Director and a range of Floor safes. 

Commercial safes and office safes with cash ratings include the Bond, Director and the Doco. 

Platinum Safes retail deposit safes ensure the safe collection and storage of cash. Our large range of postal slot safes, under counter depository safes, cash management safes, deposit chute safes and cash drawer safes include the Collector, Defender, Manager and Night Guard. 

Choosing the right cash safe will depend on your personal or business requirements. Contact Platinum Safes on 1800 732 630 or visit www.platinumsafes.com.au to locate your nearest distributor across Australia.

<title><![CDATA[Cheap Safes V Quality Safes ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[The vast range of safes available in Australia is extensive, varying from the level of protection from one product to another.

There are many cheap and inferior safes on the market that are sold through hardware and retail outlets. These products will have less security barriers to protect against attack and fire and they generally do not protect the value of the items being stored. 

Here we compare the elements and components of a quality safe and the security features that will increase the level of protection. 
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[The vast range of safes and strongboxes available in Australia is extensive. When you start researching, you will see the varying difference in the quality and levels of protection from one product to another. 

So, let&rsquo;s look at the definition of a safe. A safe, also called a strongbox is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft and/or damage from fire. A safe is generally a hollow cube or cylinder with one face hinged to form a door.

The term &lsquo;lockable box&rsquo; can come in the form of limitless entities. However, the importance of &lsquo;Secure&rsquo; is the key factor when protecting and keeping items &lsquo;Safe&rsquo;.

There are many cheap and inferior safes and lockboxes on the market that are sold through hardware and retail outlets. These products offer lower grades of protection, and it can be argued, if they qualify and meet the requirements of a &lsquo;Secure Safe&rsquo;. 

Inferior safes will have less security barriers to protect against attack and fire. They generally do not have cash or fire ratings, commonly have less steal, minimal security features and cheap locks. 

Lower grade safes generally do not protect the value of the items being stored. Would you secure jewellery and watches worth thousands in an $80 safe purchased from a hardware or stationary store? It is simply unwise. Don&rsquo;t store items of high value in a box that barely meets the criteria of a secure safe.

QUALITY SAFES &amp; HIGHER PROECTION 

So, now let&rsquo;s compare the elements and components of a quality safe, which is so much more than a hollow cube. A lockable box will surpass to a secure safe when security features and barriers increase the degree of protection; such as&hellip;..


	The thickness of the safes body and door
	Hard plates behind the lock to prevent drilling
	Anti-fishing plates to prevent pilfering
	Heavy duty locking bolts &amp; external ball bearing hinges 
	Expanding fire seals and mineral compounds 
	Reinforced composite materials to produce a stronger defence shield
	Cash ratings recognised by insurance companies 
	Fire ratings to protect against heat and fire
	Certifications and rating by Underwriters Laboratories 


 

GET EXPERT ADVICE

Getting expert advice from a safe specialist is also a crucial step when selecting the right safe. They will help you to determine the degree of protection you need based on the nature and value of the property you are securing. 

Seeking professional advice will assist in verifying the cash rating level and fire protection rating that you require. These fundamental factors will ensure your belongings are protected to the highest level.

Don&rsquo;t trust the opinion of an inexperienced store worker to guard your precious valuables. Trust a safe specialist or experienced locksmith who can give you expert advice.

 

PROFESSIONAL INSTALLATION

If you&rsquo;re investing in a safe then ensure it is installed correctly. Most burglars will attempt to take the safe with them, allowing them to break into the safe without time constraints. 

If a safe is incorrectly installed your security will be compromised. The correct installation methods will depend on various factors; such as the flooring, anchor points and positioning of the safe.

<content><![CDATA[Purchasing a home safe is a long term investment and you want to make sure you buy the right safe that addresses all your needs. 

Once you start researching you will soon discover the wide scope of homes safes ranging from weight, features, price points, locking mechanisms and sizes. However, the most important factor to consider is the quality of the safe and the level of protection it will provide.

When you are looking to buy a home safe that will be suitable for your needs there are many things to consider. 

Here are 5 key tips when buying a home safe 

1. Purpose of the Safe 

Is the main purpose of the safe to protect against fire or theft ? 


	Fire Resistant Safes are designed to protect papers from extreme heat or fire. Fire rating generally range from 30 mins to 2 hours.



	Theft Resistant Safes are designed to protect against theft and burglary. Theft resistant safes are rated based on their level of security. 


Platinum Safes offer a wide range of quality home safes that are both theft resistant offering cash ratings as well as fire resistant safes that come with fire ratings.

2. Property to Protect

What items will be stored in your home safe? Valuable items such as jewellery, cash, ipods, laptops, watches, need to protected in a theft resistant safe. While important paper documents, records, wills ect should be protected in a paper fire resistant safe.  All safes within the Platinum home safe range have fire ratings and cash ratings, so you know you are protecting your belongings and assets in a quality home safe.

3. Level of Protection

When selecting your home safe you need to consider the level of protection you require. The value of the items to secure in your home safe will determine the degree of protection you need. Good quality theft resistant safes are tested and rated by the amount of time an intruder takes to crack the safe open. These safes are given cash ratings. 

4. Size of the Safe

The size of the home safe and the contents you are going to store in the safe is a key factor as well. It is highly suggested that you allow for extra capacity space for additional items and account for 50% more space to plan for the future. 

5. Location of the Safe

You need to think about the location of the safe. How much space do you have? Is the location discrete? Can the floor support the safes weight? If the safe needs to be moved up and down stairs, ensure they are strong enough to support the weight.

<title><![CDATA[How to choose the perfect home safe for our needs ]]></title>
<description><![CDATA[When you are looking to buy a home safe there are many factors to consider.  What items are you storing in the safe and are you protecting your valuables against fire or theft? There are many homes safes on the market. Here is a guide to help you select a safe with confidence. 

 
]]></description>
<content><![CDATA[When you are looking to buy a safe that will be suitable for your individual needs there are many things to consider. It is a long term investment so you want to select a home safe that will meet all your requirements. 

Once you begin researching and shopping around you will soon discover that there are many variants of homes safes ranging from weight, features, price points, locking mechanisms and sizes. However, the most important elements to consider is the quality of the safe and the level of protection the safe will provide. 

An effective way to determine the best home safe is to answer these questions&hellip;.

Is the main objective of the safe to protect against fire or theft? 

If the main purpose is to protect against burglary then a theft resistant safe is what you need.  Theft resistant safes are rated on their level of security and can vary from a cash rating of $5,000 up to $100,000 and above.

If you live in an environment where fire is a threat then you will require a fire resistant safe. Fire Safes are designed to protect documents and papers against extreme heat and fire. Fire rated home safes come with varying levels of fire protection from 30mins, 1 hour, 1 &frac12; hours to 2 hours. They generally have little theft resistance (unless they offer a cash rating as well).

If the purpose of the safe is to protect against both theft and fire, then a high quality safe with both levels of protection is the home security safe to meet your needs. All safes within Platinum Safes Home Safe range offer both fire ratings and cash ratings. If your goal is to protect your valuable belongings then invest a quality safe you can trust. 

View the Platinum Home Safe Range Here


What items are you storing in the safe?

If your main objective is to protect valuable items such as cash, jewellery and devices you need a theft resistive safe. Important paper documents such as records and wills should be stored in a paper fire resistant safe. The purpose of a home safe is generally to protect all types of items from valuable possessions such as jewellery, watches and cash as well as important paper documents such as passports and certificates. When this is the case a hybrid security safe that protects against theft and fire is what you require. 

Platinum Safes have three Home Safes within their range that protect again forced entry and protect against extreme heat and fire. 

What level of Protection do you need?
 

The value and importance of the items you are protecting in your security home safe will determine the degree of protection you need. If you are protecting $25,000 worth of jewellery and watches then the Platinum Director would be a great choice. 

It is advisable to contact your insurance company to obtain specific information about your home insurance policy. They will inform you on the safe ratings that are required to provide you coverage and to lower your insurance premiums.

If you live in a fire prone location, it is advisable to select home safes that offers fire protection.

Platinum Safes Home Collection offers both high quality and value. Don&rsquo;t risk safe guarding your valuables and assets in an inferior safe purchased from a hardware store or a cheap online merchant. Your prised possessions are worth much more care.

The Platinum Director provides maximum security with unique corner locking mechanism, inter-locking bolts and an automatic re-locking device for superior protection. This high quality safe offers 1 hour fire rating and a $30,000 cash rating. 

The Platinum Urban offers premium protection against theft with a $25,000 cash rating and a 30 minute fire rating. The Urban Home Safe is a very popular model and is ideal for securing cash, jewellery, personal files such as passports and certificates as well as digital cameras and laptops. 

The Platinum Nova Home Safe is another hybrid safe in the residential safe range offering theft protection with a cash rating of $15,000 and fire protection with a 30 minutes fire rating. The Nova excels in quality and value. It&rsquo;s stylish design elements and innovative locking mechanisms make this safe a smart choice. 

 

What size and capacity do you require? 
 

The items you are storing in the home safe will dictate the required size you need. It is advisable to allow at least 40% more capacity space to allow for future items you will need to protect in years to come.

Platinum Safes&rsquo; are known for their extensive range of model sizes. The Platinum Nova and Urban is available in 7 sizes and the Platinum Director in 5 sizes.

 

Where will the Safe be located?
The area of the safes final placement will play a factor in the size. The flooring type also needs to be considered, can it support the weight of the safe? If the safe is to be located on an upper or lower level can the safe be moved to this location safely. 

The installation is a very important factor to secure your security safe. All Platinum Home Safes have anchor points so they can be bolted down to floors. It is highly encouraged to professionally install your safe for maximum protection.

In-floor Home Safes 

Floor safes are another great option for home security. A floor safe can be well hidden and difficult to locate in concealed locations. An in-floor safe can be cemented or bolted down into a lowered area that is out of site. This reduces the risk of being located and attacked.  

Platinum Safes have four home floor safe options that feature superior security features such as anti-drill plates, solid steel dead bars, relocking devices and a top cover plate. The best floor safe for you depends on the size you need to secure your valuable and important documents against theft and damage and the security features. A key factor is ensuring in-floor safes are correctly installed and covered. All Platinum Floor Safes come with a secure cover top plate.
