A cash rating is an industry standard that indicates the level of security a safe provides against theft. It tells your insurance provider how much cash or value they can cover if stored inside that safe overnight.
For example, a safe with a $10,000 cash rating is generally approved to hold $10,000 in cash or up to $100,000 in other valuables (like jewellery). We can help you select a safe that matches the specific coverage limits required by your business insurance policy.
No, standard fire safes are designed to protect paper documents, which can withstand temperatures up to 177°C. Digital media like hard drives and USBs are much more sensitive and can be destroyed at just 52°C.
To protect electronic backups, you need a specialised "Data Media Safe" or a composite safe with a media insert, which maintains a much cooler internal temperature during a fire.
For businesses using their safe daily, we recommend a professional service once every 12 months.
Regular servicing ensures the locking mechanism is lubricated, the door alignment is correct, and digital lock batteries are replaced before they fail. This preventative maintenance is critical to avoid expensive emergency lockouts that could disrupt your business operations.
Yes, in almost all cases. Even heavy safes can be tipped onto a trolley and removed by determined thieves.
Most insurance policies require safes weighing less than 1,000kg to be professionally anchored to a concrete floor or solid wall. Our installation team uses high-tensile expansion bolts to ensure your safe remains exactly where you left it.
Commercial digital safes use non-volatile memory, so your code is never lost, even if the battery dies completely.
Most quality commercial locks have the battery compartment on the outside (behind the keypad) for easy replacement. If the battery is internal, there is usually an external emergency power terminal where you can hold a 9V battery to power the lock temporarily and enter your code.
