High Security Safes for watches and other jewelry
Has anyone considered a high security safe for their valuables? Because high security safes are so heavy and could be damaging to a normal household floor over time... that could present a challenge. Perhaps install the heavy safe inside your garage bolte...
Good untill your/family life is threatened so maybee if you got more safety layers and a panic room
Sure banks or similiar solutions also gets more troublesome and expensive nowdays so no easy answer.
Tegis, many thanks for your input
Of course keeping a low profile is always smart too. Best, Robert
For sure thats a key to if your in slightly less safe neighbourhood or social circles some days
Also two medium sized safes that are easier to sorta hide and install where you want might be a better option. So you might have to only give up one if that day we dont want to think about comes around the corner.
Most banks here in Sweden are closing them and stopping that service.
That might not be a problem for other members here though.
I have thought about this and i think there are a few ways to go about it but it depends very much on you .....
One is to get the aforementioned very durable high quality safe.....can not help much here but have always wanted this one but am not sure how effective it is lol The other route is to get really good insurance (this is what i have done) so that if you ar...
I have 2 small safes, nothing elaborate,
but enough to keep people out of. They are side by side and bolted to the wall in a storage area so they are also out of sight. Firearms, jewelry, documents etc.
This used to come up on another site I was on.
My preference instead of adding a massive nightmare of a safe is to instead thinking of hiding things in plain sight instead. False wall or cabinet drawers etc. Something to think about. That and insurance.
If you do a home safe make sure it's over a 1000lb, has a high fire rating and bolted to cement.
Last thing you want is for some thief to run off with your safe and worry about cracking it later. I have both bank and home safes and good luck getting my home safe out of the house or cracking it before police get there. Throw in some firepower that I h...
If I have a safe that weighs
1,000 lbs. a thief running off with it would be the least of my worries.
I know of some who have
A “hidden” safe which with a little effort is quite easy to find. This is where you keep a fake Rolex and some costume jewelry to satisfy the morons who broke into your house. Then you have a truly hidden safe for the real stuff. Safety deposit boxes at t...
Get guidance from your insurance company
All the money in the world spent on a safe is worthless if something happens and the insurance company can shirk its responsibility because it wasn't policy compliant. Definitely keep a somewhat low profile, because if someone finds out they might be moti...
I have a large safe in the garage
It's as you described - a big, heavy, fireproof gun safe. I don't have it hidden in a corner but I suspect to a thief it might say "he has guns" which is a good thing. It's big enough to hold all my paperwork, tax records, and watches if I am going out of...
A jeweler friend of mine has a high end
German safe at her house (cement floor). Here the issue is the safe had an issue and they had to wait for someone to come from Germany to Colorado not to Mention the small fortune to arrange that.
Regarding basements, garages and other marginally sealed and/or non climate controlled areas go do be aware that many (most?) heavy high end safes are not weather sealed and that
mold can be an ongoing repeat offender nightmare unless you only put divers on bracelets in it (don't forget to screw in the crown every time you visit it to exercise your watches). Also forget about bronze unless you're in love with patina. As far as ult...
Bank safes are best if available because of the security and insurance.
To have a heavy duty safe/storage at home, it would be best if the design can be done when you construct your home. A friend built a reinforced storage hidden behind some feature wall. It needs some planning and design consideration so that it is not obvi...

How does bank safe box insurance work?
At least in my country the banks make it clear they do not know (nor want to know) the contents of your safe deposit box So you make your own insurance plans
Torch and tool resistant industrial strength/weight safes do part of the job
Manufacturers like ISM (Israel), Rosengrens (Swedish), Chubb (British), Kaso (Finnish), Tann (British) Brown (USA), and AmSec (USA) all make commercial grade containers but the 2,000+ lb delivery weight make them ground level installation only for residen...
