What Have You Got to Lose?

Safes protect your valuables from theft and fire
Do I need a Safe?

As the owner of a safe manufacturing company, I am often asked by my friends and family “Do I need a safe?” After all, why buy a safe if you don’t have a real need for one. That leads us to the question of “why you need a safe?”

Why would you need a Safe?

While a safe is primarily designed to protect your belongings against theft, it can also protect your belongings from the devastation of fire and natural disasters and in some cases water damage.

Why would you need a safe in your Home?

Not everyone needs a safe, however if any of the questions below can be answered with a yes…I would advise you to have a safe in your home as a matter of priority:
  • Are you a business owner?
  • Are you a firearm owner?
  • Do you have important, sensitive and irreplaceable paperwork such as trusts, wills, deeds, stock certificates, birth or death certificates?
  • Do you keep cash on hand in your home?
  • Do you own jewelry or heirloom jewelry which has high intrinsic or sentimental value?
  • Do you have photographs or personal effects which have sentimental value?
  • Do you have gadgets of value (Camera’s, Video Cameras, Laptop Computers, Tablets, etc.…)?
  • Do you have important and sensitive data on CDs, disks or other electronic devices?
  • Do you have confidential information you would not want others to see (medical records, etc.…)?
  • Do you have house cleaners, trade’s people, dog walkers or other outsiders coming into your home?
The focus of these questions is on irreplaceable and in some cases dangerous items that need to be protected from unauthorized access. If you answered yes to one or more of these questions, I am suggesting that you do indeed need a safe in your home.

Owning a safe can help to simplify your life and give you the peace of mind that you deserve.

While some things are irreplaceable and, in some cases dangerous in the wrong hands, there are many items that are replaceable and should be considered for safe keeping as well. Passports, house and car keys, credit or debit cards, other forms of I.D. are all replaceable however, they require your valuable time to properly replace and could prove very costly. For instance, if a thief should take a spare set of keys, you may not even notice it right away allowing easy access for further theft of your home or car. Passports, I.D.’s, Credit and debit cards can also be replaced but, can create havoc before you have a chance to stop bad actors from draining your accounts and even stealing your identity.
Owning a safe can help you to avoid unfortunate circumstances and give you the peace of mind you need.

Choosing the Best Safe at the Best Price?

There is a wide range of safes available in size, security level, amenities and accessibility options as well as costs, depending on your individual needs and circumstances. It is important to choose a safe that is right for you and you should give careful consideration to the location of the safe as well as the accessibility and amenities of your safe. Choosing a safe based on price is usually a recipe for disaster should a break-in occur.

Don’t make the mistake of purchasing a safe and finding out later that it isn’t going to serve your needs, fit your particular circumstances or give you the peace of mind you deserve. If you are considering buying a safe and have questions or concerns…make sure to seek advice from a qualified expert.

As one of the many millions of responsible gun owners in this country, we understand the need for safety when handling and storing firearms. We all know the first rules of safe gun handling: Always treat a firearm as if it were loaded. Always check to see if there is a round in the chamber when handling a firearm. Always point the firearm in a safe direction in case of accidental discharge. As adults we teach these safety tips to young people who will be the firearms owners of the future. Unfortunately, children may not fully grasp the importance of these rules and may obtain access to firearms that have not been properly secured. This can lead to tragic incidents. Always make sure your weapons are safely secured when not in use. We should all follow the simple steps outlined below and supported by national gun rights groups, such as: NSSF and their ProjectChild Safe program, and the NRA. • Unloaded firearms should be stored in a locked gun safe when not in use. The storage location should not be accessible to children and secured with a locking mechanism with a combination only known by the responsible adult owner of the firearms. • Ammunition should be stored separate from firearms in a secure container, ideally in a safe. • Gun locking devices, such as a cable-style gun lock can provide an added layer of security. • Do a thorough check of ALL firearms being stored to make sure they are completely unloaded. This additional step can prevent accidental discharge when removing firearms from storage. We are proud supporters of the 2nd Amendment, which gives us the right to keep and bear arms. We also feel a great sense of responsibility to make sure we keep those arms safe and secure when not in use. Vault Pro safes far exceed all DOJ requirements and provide the best protection against break-ins and fire. If you are looking for a superior security solution for your firearms or other valuables, please contact us. Stay safe, Tony https://vaultprousa.com
