Home Safes
By [http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Alexander_Sutton]Alexander Sutton
Safes are essential items for any home, apartment, or condo. Most people think they don't need a safe if they don't have anything that's of obvious value, like jewelry and similar things. But every person has something of value that needs to be protected from thieves, fires, and even natural disasters. These items include passports, birth certificates, tax information, and pictures. If you own guns, whether for sport, for hunting, or for home security, you should also keep the guns locked in the safe and away from small children or even adults who do not know how to properly handle firearms.
There are three types of home safes to choose from. You can have a wall safe installed. The wall safe can be hidden by a painting or another wall decoration. These are inconspicuous, small, and can be conveniently located for you, but inconveniently located for a criminal. Wall safes can also be digital, so even safe crackers cannot just waltz in and get your safe open. Wall safes need to be bolted securely into the wall, so a would-be thief can't simply take it. Wall safes are also narrow, and not very deep, so if you have a lot to store, that might not be the best choice. Floor safes are larger and bolted to the floor, so they cannot be removed by a thief. They also come with digital locks.
The third type of home safe is the free-standing safes range in size, from very small to very large. A very small free-standing safe can simply be carried out of the house, giving the thief plenty of time to figure out how to open it. But a large free-standing safe, like a gun safe, is not going to be picked up and easily carried out the window.
