If anyone knows the advantages (and even a few drawbacks) to having a
commercial safe; we do!
“I don’t have that
kind of business”
We often hear that
phrase, but in truth, any business
can benefit and use a good commercial safe. It really doesn’t matter how
many employees you have or what size your building is; a commercial safe will
work to provide protection for your assets no matter what. Here in Mapleton, GA
we have thousands of local firms that do business here and in the greater
Atlanta Metro area. A few examples of these include apartment rentals, storage
facilities, movie theaters, fine dining, convenience stores, car dealerships,
auto mechanics, dry cleaners, gas stations, laundromats, condo buildings,
property management, medical clinics, shoe stores, fast food outlets, grocery
stores, mail centers, hospitals, private schools, bakeries and thousands more.
Many of these establishments already enjoy the benefits of a commercial safe
and with good reason; they truly can secure your best and most valuable property
against threats of all kinds.
What you can put in your commercial safe
The answer is easy;
anything you want! Hollywood has conditioned us to think that only stacks of
100 dollar bills or gold bars go in safes; not so! Yes, you can deposit cash in
them. In fact, that is a great idea for restaurants, convenience stores, fast
food outlets and gas stations or any other business that deals with lots of
cash. In between deposits or armored car pick-ups, the cash can be temporarily
deposited in your commercial safe.
You can also add other
items to your safe’s contents. Examples include jewelry, property titles,
credit reports, insurance documents, car registrations, passwords, key codes,
flash drives, important keys, warranties, items for safekeeping, secret records,
guns, numbered combinations, stock certificates, appraisals and lots more.
Many kinds of safes
Safes are as varied as
the items that you can put inside of them. Commercial safes are made of
different materials and come in many sizes. Close your eyes for a second and
picture a commercial safe. What did you see in your mind; a large, heavy, free
standing vault? Or, did you see a smaller, concealed unit built into the wall
behind a picture? Actually, both are accurate representations of commercial
safes. Here at Mableton
Locksmith GA we sell, repair, install and service many kinds of safes. Some
are best for home use and others are better adapted for business. Other
Mableton, GA lock and key shops also provide commercial safe services so be
sure to call your favorite local shop and find out more!
Do I really need a safe?
Sometimes, customers
ask if they really need a commercial safe. Maybe they are using a system where
they stash the extra cash in the file cabinet or in a desk drawer that locks.
They might be putting valuables in a locker secured by a padlock. There are
many ways to hide or temporarily secure business items of value. The real
question is; how secure is your method? Just because you haven’t been pilfered,
robbed or become a victim of employee theft doesn’t mean that it can’t or won’t
happen. Many times your insurance coverage for incidents like this won’t pay
out if your method of keeping items secure was flimsy or poorly thought through.
But, isn’t it easy to “crack a safe?”
Yes, very easy! In the movies, anyway! Not
so much in real life as safe opening takes time and skill in order to do it
right. Safes rely on number sequences, key codes, keys or even fingerprints to
open them. So the answer is this; safes CAN keep your valuables safe! Whether
you are using a wall safe, free standing vault, lockbox under a desktop, or
floor safe, your cash and items of value truly are SAFE!
Safes also keep your
secured items safe from more than just employee theft and robbery. Commercial
safes protect valuables from dust, fire, moisture, rain and wind. Considering
that cash and important documents are made of paper and that other items like
flash drives, guns and software are easy to compromise by dust, moisture and
heat, having a good commercial safe is really a good idea.
Good sources for commercial safes
There are many places
in Mableton,
GA to buy a commercial safe. Retail stores like Best Buy, Sears, Target, Home
Depot, Lowes, and Wal-Mart are all candidates but keep one thing in mind. The
sales people are almost always part time and on commission. They are there more
as a customer service and not as safe specialists.
You can contact a safe
store but they usually don’t deliver, set up, or service the safe when it’s
needed. They almost always outsource this to others so you wind up paying hefty
middle man charges. Why not contact a commercial locksmith? In Mableton, GA
there are many to choose from. You get the benefit of on location service, same
day appointments, free consultations, free price quotes and fast maintenance
whenever needed. When asking about prices, be sure to include set up and
delivery, warranty coverage, maintenance fees and anything else that comes to
mind. When you deal with a full service, licensed, bonded and
insured commercial locksmith shop the advantages are many so call one now
to find out more!
