Safes are a great way to protect your property and valuables. That said, depending on your security needs, you could be looking at a hefty price tag. If you want to safeguard your items without breaking the bank, a used safe might be the solution. That said, not all used safes are created equal. In this blog, we’ll discuss the pros and cons of purchasing a used safe.

The Pros & Cons of Used Safes

When purchasing a used safe for home or office security, it’s crucial to consult with a professional, certified dealer. Buying from a private seller can expose you to significant risks.

Pros of Used Safes

Used safes are a great way to save money on your home or office security needs. When purchased from a certified dealer, they offer the same level of protection as a new safe, but without the premium cost. 

When purchased from a certified seller, used safes come with complete safe services, including: 

• Installation 
• Delivery and moving
• Repairs and maintenance
• Safe opening
• Combination changes
• Lock changes 
• And more

At Dial Locksmith & SafeWorld®, our team is available to help you find the right safe to meet your needs. 

Cons of Used Safes

If you’re thinking of purchasing a used safe from a private dealer, it’s important to know the risks. Without certification and thorough inspections, previous break-in attempts could decrease the functionality of a used safe. Private sellers rarely offer guarantees and are not authorized to change the safe’s combination. This could render your property at risk should a previous owner have a master key or code. You could end up spending extra money on maintenance, repairs, or other inconveniences. 

When purchasing a used safe, it’s essential to work with a certified dealer, such as Dial Locksmith & SafeWorld®, to ensure your belongings are secure.

If you’re looking to improve convenience and accessibility in your commercial building, it’s time to consider an automatic door operator. This simple solution comes with several benefits to both you and your clients. 

Provide your staff and clients with peace of mind, knowing they can access your property regardless of mobility or other challenges. Increase your security and take comfort in knowing your property is protected and compliant with regulations.

Is it time for you to consider installing an automatic door operator? Read on to find out: 

Improved Accessibility 

Enhance access for both your clients and staff with an automatic door operator. This simple addition provides barrier-free entrance for all, creating a safe and comfortable space for those with mobility challenges. Promote inclusivity while ensuring you’re compliant with accessibility regulations.

Convenience

Ensure effortless entry for everyone visiting your property. Automatic door operators make access hassle-free for delivery personnel, clients, and staff — whether they’re carrying packages, pushing a stroller, or have limited strength. Your consideration will pay off in the end. 

Hands-Free Operation

For seamless, hands-free operation, your automatic door operator can be equipped with motion sensors or push-button controls to suit your business’s needs. This addition is especially beneficial for facilities that prioritize hygiene, such as healthcare centres, restaurants, and public washrooms.  

Energy Efficiency 

Save energy and reduce costs with automatic door operators. Equipped with sensors, these systems only open when needed, preventing unnecessary air loss and maintaining climate control. No more worrying about doors being left open — keep your indoor environment comfortable and efficient. 

Safety and Security 

Ideal for high-traffic areas, automatic door operators can minimize accidents and frustration with hands-free options. The motion sensors can detect obstructions and stop door progression when an obstacle is in the way. 

For added security, equip your system with access control settings, restricting entry to authorized personnel. 

Customizable 

Tailor your automatic door operator to meet your specific requirements. Make adjustments to meet your speed and sensitivity needs, while enhanced security options allow you to protect your property and its occupants.

Aesthetics

With a sleek design, automatic door operators are aesthetically pleasing, blending seamlessly with your commercial property’s architecture.

Protecting valuables and important documents is a priority for any Edmonton homeowner. A residential safe offers peace of mind, but with so many options out there, choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. At Dial Locksmith and Safeworld™, we carry a variety of residential safes in Edmonton, helping Albertans secure everything from cash, gold, and important documents to firearms and ammunition safely in their homes.

In this blog post, we’ll guide you through the most important considerations to make when choosing the ideal safe to protect your valuables at home. 

Think About What You Need to Protect

Consider the items you plan to store inside your residential safe. For most Albertans, having a safe place to stow away jewelry, family heirlooms, and important documents like passports and birth certificates is a top priority; however, if you hunt or own firearms for any other purpose, it’s necessary to have a secure place to store these items to comply with Alberta’s firearms safety laws.

The size and type of safe you choose will depend on how much you have to store, as well as the items you need to keep secure. Think about the potential for future additions to your safe as well—if you purchase something small, you might find yourself needing to upgrade down the road.

Determine Your Budget and the Level of Security You Want

Decide how much you’re willing to spend on a residential safe and the level of security you need to keep your valuables safe. Safes range from basic fire-resistant models to high-security vaults designed to withstand sophisticated burglary attempts. Consider factors such as fire ratings and locking mechanisms. 

When evaluating security, look for ratings from Underwriter’s Laboratories (UL). For example, a TL rating indicates the safe’s resistance to break-in attempts with tools, while a Residential Security Container (RSC) rating is a simple safe that’s designed to protect against basic break-in attempts. 

Placement Matters

Where you place the safe within your home matters. Discretion is important; however, so is accessibility. Our residential safes are heavy and it’s important to have our team evaluate the space you’d like your safe in to determine the logistics of your delivery.

Owning a firearm is a serious responsibility, and when it comes to safety, ensuring secure storage of your firearm is a top priority. A quality gun safe provides security, prevents accidents, and offers peace of mind, but not all firearm safes are made equally. Choosing the right safe is essential for protecting your firearms and your loved ones. 

At Dial Locksmith & Safeworld™, we’re committed to helping you prioritize safety when it comes to storing your firearms. In this blog, we’re breaking down the most important features to look for when shopping for a firearm safe for your home. 

Size and Capacity 

First and foremost, evaluate your current firearm collection and any potential future additions. Choose a safe that comfortably accommodates your existing firearms with enough room for accessories and potential future purchases. A safe that’s too small will lead to organizational challenges and limit your storage options.

Construction and Durability 

A firearm safe’s strength and resilience are critical. Look for a safe that’s constructed with advanced composite wall structure and reinforced steel doors, solid steel deadbolts, and heavy-duty machined hinges. Also, ensure the safe is heavy in weight to prevent unauthorized moves. 

Fire Protection

Beyond preventing unauthorized access, a firearm safe should protect your firearms in the event of a fire. Look for a safe with a certified fire rating that indicates how long it can withstand high temperatures while keeping the interior safe. In most cases, a good firearm safe can withstand fire and smoke for 60 to 120 minutes.

Security Ratings and Certifications

The best firearm safes undergo rigorous testing and receive security ratings and certifications from independent organizations like Underwriters Laboratories (UL). These ratings indicate the safe’s resistance to forced entry and other security threats. Prioritize safes with high security ratings from recognized organizations.

Access and Organization

A good firearm safe strikes a balance between security and accessibility. Look for features that allow for quick retrieval of firearms when needed without compromising safety. Electronic keypads or biometric locks offer quick access in emergencies, while interior lighting, adjustable shelving, and door organizers enhance organization and ease of use. Consider searching for a firearm safe with features like adjustable shelving, racks, and compartments, as well as ammunition or jewelry drawers for additional organization. 

Investing in Peace of Mind

Choosing the right firearm safe requires careful consideration of your unique needs and priorities. By searching for a safe with the features mentioned above, you can find something that offers optimal protection for your firearms without sacrificing convenience. Remember, a firearm safe is an investment in the safety of your loved ones and your peace of mind. 

At Dial Locksmith & Safeworld™, we can help you find the right safe for your needs. We’ll work with you to ensure proper placement, professional and discreet installation, and optimal security for your firearms.
