How much do safes cost?

Ever considered investing in a safe – either for your home or office? If not, why not?

Safes are an important investment for homeowners and businesses alike and allow you to store all kinds of hard-to-replace items, including How much do safes cost?expensive jewellery, family heirlooms, cash, documents, and more. However, a question we get asked a lot is how much do safes cost?

It’s tricky to say how much you will pay for a safe as the overall price can vary significantly depending on several factors. These include the size of the safe, the level of security it provides, how much fire protection it offers and any other built-in features.

Let’s break these down.

  • Size

When shopping for safes, size matters – and the bigger units are almost always the most expensive. But, spending a little more on a larger safe will give you ample storage space for your possessions and, in turn, eliminate the need to squeeze everything in. A more roomy safe will not only protect your goods against harm but allow you to organise them – ideal for office documents and valuable equipment that will be left on the premises overnight.

  • Level of security

Smaller safes that offer a basic level of security for cash and valuables tend to be the cheapest and can be installed almost anywhere around the home. Whilst safes that have many security features – and are virtually impenetrable – will cost you more upfront. However, if you’re storing precious items in a particularly vulnerable location, a secure box is well worth the expense.

  • Fire protection

If you’re searching for an office safe to store important documents and files, a safe with increased fire protection is desirable as you want to be sure that your papers won’t be destroyed in case of a fire. Though fire and data safes that offer more resistance usually carry a hefty price tag, they are well worth the extra expense to protect your documents against the worst.

  • Other features

Some safes have built-in features which – although it depends on the type – can affect the price. These include things like interior fabrics, lighting and shelving and a painted finish on the exterior that ensures the unit can withstand all impacts.

Something else to be mindful of is that wall safes – the ones that slot into the wall in place of bricks – cost a fraction more than standard safes. But they do make it very unlikely for a burglar to remove the entire safe and get away with your possessions.
