Different Types of Safes by Different Categories

By Key Lock Type

• Electronic/ Digital Lock Safes

With the advancement of technology, the types of security locks have developed greatly. For example, increase the level of security by incorporating electronic or digital locks into the safe, which are more advanced than mechanical locks. These electronic locks have a battery-operated numeric keypad. Once the correct combination is entered, the lock automatically opens, and the safe can be accessed. It is generally a faster and more convenient way to access the safe.

• Fingerprint Lock Safes

This type of lock does not require a key or combination. In contrast, fingerprint lock safes have a biometric sensor that can only be accessed with a saved fingerprint. In this way, it provides a high level of security and avoids situations where someone doubles the keys to the safe or the password is stolen.

• Mechanic/ Key Lock Safes

Mechanical locks can have a spinner that rotates several times to fit the perfect combination, or they can have a lock and key system. This type of lock is durable and low maintenance when used properly.

By Installment

• Freestanding Safes

This type of safe is one of the most common safes. Freestanding Safes are fitted in cabinets, cupboards, shelves, etc. On the other hand, they can also be fastened to the floor or wall since they have bolt markings that allow you to fasten and tighten the bolts accordingly.

• Wall Safes

Wall safes are generally smaller in size, but custom home safe is also available. Wall safes are fixed into a cavity and are generally easy to install. This type of safe is ideal for flats and small houses and can be installed in any secluded place.

• Floor Safes

This type of safe is fixed in the infrastructure of a building or house. For example, floor safes are often embedded two feet above the ground to protect them from water and moisture. Additionally, carpets, rugs, and other floor coverings can further increase safety.

By Application

Home Safes

• Fireproof Safes

Fire safes are designed to withstand the heat and flames of a fire, leaving the contents unscathed. On the other hand, they are classified by fire rating. For example, a safe with UL Class 350 can withstand high external temperatures until the internal temperature reaches 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Fire safes can store documents such as car insurance, wills, and other legal documents.

• Jewelry Safes

Jewelry safes are used to store precious jewelry and related items and preserve the jewelry’s shine, color, and condition. In addition to providing security through thick construction and locking mechanisms, jewelry safes are also designed to prevent scratches. For example, they are designed with velvet-lined interiors and shelves to help users organize their items.

• Gun Safes

Gun safes come in various sizes and can handle all types of firearms. They’re designed to fit in a drawer, small closet, or under a bed for quick access in an emergency. Gun safes are also designed for restricted access. Therefore, multiple entry options exist, including quick access options that don’t compromise security.

Commercial Safes

• Hotel Safes

Hotel safes are generally placed in every room in hotels, hostels, and other hospitality establishments. This type of safe has a lower level of security. If the guest forgets the code, the staff can open the safe with a master card or a key.

• Deposit Safes

A deposit safe, also called a commercial drop safe, is a security safe installed in various businesses to safeguard cash. Generally, this safe is used in shops, restaurants, petrol stations, banks, or post offices. The safe typically has a slot or drawer on the top or front into which employees can put deposits without opening the safe.
