Quality matters when safekeeping valuables

Safes are available in many different sizes and security levels. Purchase one best suited for your needs with a dedicated safe specialist at HARTMANN TRESORE MIDDLE EAST LLC, Dubai. Excerpts from an interview with General Manager Reiner Kaltenbach:

A safe is an essential item for everyone - be it for private or business. Everyone has valuables and documents that can only be obtained with great efforts or not at all. These include important documents and papers, for example passports or ID cards, pension documents, wills and contracts - as well as electronic devices, such as digital cameras and tablet PCs, or of course, jewellery and watches. Also, IT equipment like external hard drives, USB flash drives and DVDs with important files, or for example, the photos of the last years should be stored in the safe, as well as old family photos and other mementos. 
Safety standards
Safes with poor quality can possibly be broken into without much effort. In reality there are "inner values " that make up the quality of a vault, such as special concrete fillings with reinforcements between the steel walls or special reinforcements in the lock area or the electronic lock itself. Therefore, it is important to buy certified safes that are above a certain level of burglary resistance and fire-proof where the certificate is issued by well-known and recognised, independent institute such as the VdS or the ECB-S from Germany.
Certified safes have resisted extensive breakthrough tests with a variety of tools done by the testing institutes according to specified criteria carried out. Depending on, how long the safe withstood the attempted break-in, it gets a certain degree of burglary resistance-certified. The higher the security grade, the more the safe offers protection and the higher it can be insured by insurance companies.
Choosing the right safe
The best protection provided by safes is a certified burglary protection and certified fire protection. The size as well as location of the safe are important to consider. Consulting a specialist company like HARTMANN TRESORE will help you to buy the right safe. In most cases, the safe should be a "purchase for life" to offer real security.
You should also think about the lock of the safe. An electronic lock compared to the "classic" mechanical key lock has several advantages:
- No keys to store somewhere, hence prevents destruction of surroundings when burglars seek the safe key.
- Easy to programme multiple users with the new biometric fingerprint locking system, which use certified and globally renowned biometric algorithms.
Opt for a safe specialist
Transporting and installing safe can be a challenge. A specialist company that deals with safes has the necessary equipment and know-how to even transport a 300-kg-plus safe to a desired location in the house and anchor it there professionally. 
At HARTMANN TRESORE, we clarify all the important points for delivery and the transport route with the customer in advance based on a checklist, so that we are prepared for the existing conditions.
