3 Features to Look for in a High-Security Commercial Safe

A high-security commercial safe is an important factor in protecting your business’s valuable assets and sensitive information. With so many safes on the market, it’s important to understand the key features differentiating a standard commercial safe from one offering top-tier protection.

When selecting a commercial safe for your business, several features should be considered to ensure a higher level of protection against intruders. Let’s dive in. 

The 3 Most Important Commercial Safe Features

Don’t compromise on security—protect your business’s most valuable information and possessions with these key commercial safe features.

1. Re-Locking Devices and Anti-Tampering Measures

A high-security commercial safe should have re-locking devices that engage if someone attempts to force open the safe. These mechanisms create a secondary lock, making it significantly more difficult for thieves to gain access. 

It’s also important to look for features like ant-drill plates and hard plates to protect the lock and other vulnerable areas from drilling and break-in attempts.

2. Advanced Locking Mechanisms

The type of lock on your safe matters. Consider opting for a high-security combination lock or an electronic lock with advanced features like dual control, time delay, and audit trails. These locks provide an extra layer of security and can be customized to meet your needs. 

3. Heavy-Duty Construction and Materials

The construction and materials used in a safe significantly impact its resistance to forced entry. Look for a safe made from thick steel or composite materials that can withstand attacks with tools like sledgehammers and pry bars. A high fire rating is also important when it comes to protecting your valuables from potential smoke and fire damage.

Installation Considerations

Proper installation is just as important as choosing the right safe. At Dial Locksmith & Safeworld, our team can help you ensure the safe you choose is suitable for your chosen location. We’ll assess your space to ensure delivery and installation are possible and determine the specific factors we’ll need to address throughout the delivery process to ensure a smooth installation.

Dial Locksmith & Safeworld provides top-of-the-line commercial safes with all the necessary features to secure your business assets. Our experts will guide you through the selection process, as well as delivery and installation, ensuring you choose a safe that’s ideal for your needs and your space.

Firearm Safety at Home: Choosing the Right Gun Safe

Owning a firearm is a privilege that comes with a lot of responsibility. One of the most important things to keep in mind when storing a gun in the home is the safety of yourself and those you live with. Having your firearm kept in a gun safe can prevent theft, unauthorized use, and undue harm. Additionally, it can ensure your gun doesn’t sustain damage as a result of improper storage.

Choosing the Right Gun Safe

When it comes to storing firearms, not just any gun safe will do. A quality safe is a necessary investment that can prevent tragedy in your Edmonton home.  While an inexpensive store-bought safe may provide some peace of mind, many are known for locking mechanism failures and other issues. 

Things to Consider

There are a few key features and factors to consider when selecting the right gun safe for your needs:

  • Size and capacity: The size of your firearm collection will determine the capacity you need. Be sure to consider any potential future additions. Ensure there is enough space for all your firearms, ammunition, and accessories.
  • Security level: Choose a gun safe that offers a high level of security. Look for TL-rated safes with thick steel construction, pry-resistant doors, and robust locking mechanisms. Consider additional security features like biometric locks, combination locks, or electronic keypads.
  • Fire protection: A fire-resistant gun safe is essential to protect your firearms from damage in case of a fire. Look for safes that have been tested and certified for fire resistance by reputable organizations. Pay attention to the fire rating, which indicates how long the safe can withstand high temperatures.
  • Accessibility: Consider how quickly you need to access your firearms in an emergency. If you need quick access, opt for a safe with a biometric lock or electronic keypad that allows for fast entry. If security is your primary concern, a more complex locking mechanism might be suitable.
  • Installation: Gun safes should be properly installed to prevent them from being easily moved or tipped over. Consider anchoring the safe to the floor or wall for added security.
  • Location: Choose a discreet and secure location for your gun safe. Avoid placing it in obvious areas like the master bedroom or garage. However, consider a hidden location that is still easily accessible to you in case of an emergency.

Advanced Features for Enhanced Security

Beyond the basic safe, there are numerous features that you may find when shopping for a quality gun safe to store your firearms.

Lock Type

  • Dial locks: Sturdy and cost-effective, these mechanical locks require a code to open but can be slower to access in emergencies.
  • Electronic locks: Offer quick access via keypad or biometric authentication, often with auto-locking and lockout features after failed attempts. However, they may require battery changes.

Materials & Protection

  • Steel thickness: Measured in gauges (lower is thicker), thicker steel provides greater resistance to break-ins. Composite construction with layers of different materials adds another level of security.
  • Fire protection: Crucial for protecting your firearms in case of a fire, look for safes with certified fire resistance ratings.
  • Environmental protection: Dehumidifiers prevent rust in humid climates, while water-resistant safes protect against potential water damage.

A Note on User Responsibility

A safe is only as effective as its weakest link. Human error, like forgetting to lock a dial or neglecting battery changes, can compromise security. Choose a reputable brand sold by a security expert like Dial Locksmith & Safeworld, follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully, and store firearms unloaded with ammunition locked separately for optimal safety.

Find the Most Reliable Firearm Protection at Dial Locksmith & Safeworld

Investing in a quality safe should be your top priority when purchasing a firearm for your Edmonton home. At Dial Locksmith & Safeworld, our team can help you select a suitable, quality gun safe that will keep you and your family safe.

Celebrating Canada Day: Tips for a Safe, Secure Holiday Weekend from Dial Locksmith & Safeworld

On July 1st, Canada celebrates its 157th birthday. As parties and events commence in Edmonton and across the nation, the team at Dial Locksmith & Safeworld would like to take a moment to offer tips for a safe and secure Canada Day. 

Unfortunately, holidays like Canada Day often bring a surge in thefts and break-ins, as thieves take advantage of distractions and target unattended homes and vehicles. That means it’s more important than ever to ensure your home, your vehicle, and your valuables are secured. 

In this article, we highlight the significance of keeping your possessions secure this Canada Day long weekend and offer practical tips for keeping your valuables safe while enjoying the festivities. 

Protecting Your Valuables

Before you hit the road for your Canada Day road trip or attend your community’s holiday celebrations, it’s important to take precautions to keep your belongings safe. 

Safeguard Your Important Documents

Before heading out for Canada Day celebrations, ensure that your essential documents, such as passports, identification cards, and financial records, are securely stored in a fireproof and secure safe.

Secure Your Home

Before you go, double-check that your doors and windows are locked. If you haven’t already done so, consider installing a reliable security system that you can monitor remotely for additional protection. Also, inform a trusted neighbour or friend about your plans so they can keep an eye on your property.

Use Lockable Bags & Pouches at Large Gatherings

When you’re attending festivals or big public events, use lockable bags or pouches to carry your wallet, mobile phone, camera, and other valuables. These security-focused accessories offer an extra layer of protection against pickpockets. 

Re-Consider Connecting to Public Wi-Fi Networks

If you plan to connect to a public Wi-Fi network, do so with caution. Avoid accessing sensitive information such as email and bank accounts, and don’t conduct any financial transactions. Hackers can easily exploit unsecured connections to access your personal data. If you need internet access, consider relying on your mobile network instead. 

Park in a Well-Lit Area

If you’re driving to an event, leave your vehicle in a well-lit, populated area. Before walking away, check that your windows are closed, valuables are out of sight, and doors are locked. 

Dial Locksmith & Safeworld: Proudly Canadian

Canada Day isn’t just an occasion to celebrate our nation’s history and culture; it’s also an opportunity to show support for Canadian businesses. Whether you’re buying goods from a small, family-owned shop or hiring a thriving start-up to provide you with business services, supporting local, Canadian brands is a great way to foster a sense of national pride.

At Dial Locksmith & Safeworld, we’re proud to be a local, Canadian company. With roots dating back to 1966, our business has decades of experience in providing locksmith services and safes for Albertans. This Canada Day, we’d like to thank you—the customers who’ve supported us over the years and helped us become the leading local authority on safes and locks in Edmonton. 

From all of us at Dial Locksmith & Safeworld, have a safe, happy Canada Day!
