As a business owner or manager, there are plenty of things demanding your attention and a plethora of things to worry about. Theft at your business doesn’t need to be one of them.
Yet, you probably spend a fair amount of your time considering the security of your business and your business assets. Whether you want to keep valuable inventory secure during business hours, protect money or assets after hours, you need to make sure you have a way to keep them safe.
Pharmacies, jewelry stores, fast food restaurants, and specialty retail operators all have critical cash management and asset protection needs. Investing in a UL tested and rated high security safes should be a part of your business model if it isn’t already.
At American Security, we specialize in high-security safes to keep your business valuables secure. Read on to learn about high-security safes and what features you need for your business security.
Safe Ratings
One of the first considerations when looking for a safe for your business or home is the safe’s ratings.
As a business, there are plenty of ways to spend money. You don’t want to invest in a safe that any burglar with elementary experience can break into.
You want to look for a safe that’s rated by United Laboratories (UL). UL is the industry leader in rating a safe’s security level.
Right behind them, and also highly regarded in the industry, are safes rated by Intertek-ETL. They also do independent testing on safes and are a top tier choice of American Security’s design and engineering team when it comes to fire safety.
Without a verification sticker rating from one of these two organizations, it’s likely the safe isn’t worth the investment. You don’t want to purchase a safe for your business that’s nothing more than a glorified lockbox.
Safe Construction
Another consideration when looking for a security safe is the construction. Not all safes are made the same way. Therefore, they offer different levels of security based on the way they are constructed.
First, many of the high end the safes at American Security are American-made. American Security has proprietary rights on the concrete fill and solid construction of their safes. Their patented DryLight® cement fill is an unmatched safe industry innovation only available on select Level I and Level II RSC verified safes – the best of the best!
More importantly is the amount of steel that goes into the construction of a safe, and the actual layering or configuration of anti-theft stop gaps that the design has cleverly created to prevent entry from attacks by drills, sledge hammers, saws, pry bars and even plasma cutters. Simply put: the more layers, the more steel = the more secure your safe.
Who Should Have Security Safes?
You might wonder if your business needs a safe. Are you big enough as a business to warrant the investment? The short answer is yes.
Whether you’re a retail owner, restaurant, private business, or store with customers coming and going, you have assets that need protecting.
Some businesses, like a pharmacy, for example, may have inventory that needs to be secure from theft all the time. A safe for this type of business could work with time-delay technology to prevent a thief from forcing the business to open it.
You might be a retail space that needs to secure financial assets. Maybe it isn’t worth your money to hire a company to move your assets securely. You want them secured on-site until you’re ready to move them to your financial institution, whether it’s when you’re open for business or after hours.
