Keeping safes at home has become a common need nowadays. It helps keep your valuables safe and secure by limiting who has access to it. Keeping a safe also prevents valuables from getting stolen and suffering from damage during a fire or a natural disaster. It is important to opt for high-quality safe installation. Otherwise, you risk the safe suffering from damage.
Safe installation ensures that professionals install your safe in a secure location. It also ensures that the safe is not easy to remove, so burglars can’t simply pick up the safe and get away with it. One has to check all the requirements before installing a safe so that there is no damage to the structure in any way.
Many safes come with instructions that tell you how to install them properly. But even so, the safe’s weight and height are important considerations. It is better to call a professional who has plenty of experience installing safes.

Why Should You Install a Safe?
Whether you’re a homeowner protecting your will or a business safeguarding company documents, everyone possesses a valuable item that they want to protect. It can be anything related to their business or personal life. Chances are that you’ll experience a robbery attempt at your home or office or face a natural disaster such as a fire or flood. All of these events can result in the loss of your valuable possessions.
It is better to invest in a safe and keep your things securely in it. You can choose between different types of safes. These include a gun safe, burglary safe, fire safe, business safe, home safe, depository safe, etc.
Every safe comes with a rating that tells you about its resistance against fire and attacks. It is important to check the ratings as they can help you make an informed decision about what safe you should invest in.
Safes also have multiple opening options. They come with a combination, key lock, electronic keypad, biometric pad, etc. Some safes have more than one option to open as well.
No house or office is the same, so there is not a single place to install a safe. There are certain places at home that are private and out of reach to outsiders. Look around the property and find a secure place before you bring the safe. Here are some of the places we think you can install your safe in:
To prevent facing theft attempts, choose a place that people rarely go to. It should not be accessible easily and must be out of plain sight. Another prevention trick is that you should install the safe on a wall and cover it so that it blends with the room. You can also construct a room cupboard around it so that it does not stand out from the rest of the furniture.
Flooding can destroy a lot of things, making them impossible to recover later. To prevent your precious valuables from facing water damage, keep your safe on a raised surface instead of the floor. If you live somewhere with higher chances of flooding, opt for a safe with a steel or concrete base. The base acts as an extra security measure for your safe. Safes are water-resistant, but if you have important documents, photographs, or electronic devices in them, put them in a waterproof container. This way, they can stay dry for extended periods.
Fires can occur at any time without warning. It is one of the biggest threats that can put your valuables at risk. To prevent the risk of fire, install your safe in a corner. The meeting point of two walls can help protect the safe until help arrives. It is also advisable to keep them safe on the ground floor and in proximity to the sprinkler. This will prevent the fire from reaching the safe until first responders arrive.
Where Should You Not Install a Safe?
There are certain places at home that fall within plain sight and are accessible to anyone. Burglars also know of certain trends and designated places where they know they will find something valuable. Hence, it is better to consider these factors before you install your safe.
Do not keep your safe in the master bedroom. That is one of the first places that thieves check for valuables. Instead, install it in a guest room or the closet inside it.
Next, the garage is also an accessible place that thieves search extensively. It is also an unsafe place because it easily faces damage due to fires, floods, and other natural occurrences. Owners often leave the garage doors open and unlocked, so almost everyone has access to it.
Hence, it’s better to take necessary precautions first.

“We were desperate to get our safe open after two companies tried and failed. Sherlock replied right away and was on site immediately with no notice on a Saturday. They got the job done fast and honestly. Thank you so much.”

“I was looking to move a 500lb safe and had difficulty finding a mover. I called a few companies and got a run around. When I called Ari over at Sherlocks Safes he asked for some pictures of the safe and move. Within 24hrs he gave me a price and scheduled the move in a time frame that worked for me. The two men that showed up were great. They took great care in moving the safe through very narrow passages. There was no damage, they were quick and efficient at the job. If you're looking to move a safe then Sherlocks Safes is your best bet. I highly recommend them.”

“Prompt, professional, and comprehensive! We had an evening safe situation and Ari responded almost immediately. He gave us a quote (which he stuck by) and was able to arrive the next morning at 9am. Not only did he open the safe, he made it workable again. One of the most reasonable quotes and definitely the fastest service — it is hard to find those two together. Thank you, Ari!”
