(EMAILWIRE.COM, June 08, 2010 ) Spokane, WA - Because of their large size and “bang for the buck” investment, gun safes are often used for more than just guns. The experts at SafeandVaultStore.com say there is nothing wrong with using a gun safe for storage and protection of other items, but warn choosing the right gun safe for your situation is important.
“If you’re considering placing high-dollar value items or important documents inside a gun safe,” says Dye Hawley, Manager of SafeandVaultStore.com, “let us help you find the best safe to meet this need.”
Many gun safes or rifle safes do not do not offer adequate protection of high-end valuables, nor do they provide good fire protection. Gun safes are built to meet certain fixed standards for either fire or burglary resistance. Depending on what you plan to store in the gun safe, there are options. To ensure fire protection, for example, paper documents and records can usually be housed in a small fireproof box that can easily be inserted within the gun safe.
However, valuables, such as cash, coins or jewelry should be stored in an appropriately secure gun safe. For gun safes, regulatory standards have been set to ensure safety and security; the standards for the burglary protection rating of a gun safe is different that the rating of a burglary fire safe, for example. So, as you decide which items you plan to store in a gun safe, consider the value of those items and the protection youÂ’ll need to keep those items safe and secure.
Gun safes can be purchased in a variety of places – from online to “big box” stores. It is important to remember that finding the best “value” does not necessarily mean the least expensive. Gun safes or gun cabinets can range in quality and price; and while a gun safe with thin walls, a poor fire rating and little to no burglary rating may be less expensive, the protection offered by such a safe is less than impressive.
Before buying a gun safe, you should have a complete understanding of your options and what will be the best solution for you. SafeandVaultStore.com offers everything consumers need to make that educated decision, including valuable how-to resources and educational videos.
