Buying a safe from an online or stationary shop?

As with any other purchase, the first step when buying a safe is to define your need. Safes are different and can be used for different purposes, and the available product categories can cause headaches for first-time customers.

A safe in the business sector is an essential tool. What can a safe be used for in business?

• In light of current data protection legislation, almost every company is obliged to properly secure sensitive data, both of customers and employees.

• Companies store internal documents, invoices, stock documents, reports and statements.

• In spite of increasing digitalisation, many companies have a cash cycle and cash must be secured with particular care.

• Digitisation, in turn, means that digitised data is stored in specially adapted safes, in which fireproofing is paramount.

The home safe is an issue that can be much more complicated. In a home safe you can keep many different items such as:

• important documents,
• cash,
• jewellery and valuables,
• weapons,
• family heirlooms.

A home safe is used to protect your most personal items, so you need to make a choice not only of model, but also of where to mount it so that it meets your requirements.

The 21st century has accustomed us to the fact that one can buy everything online. For some time now it has also been possible to buy armoured cash-boxes or home safes in this way. What are the advantages of an online shop?

• a wide range of products clearly divided into categories (home safe, gun cabinets, etc.),

• simple and quick shopping, simply add to basket and confirm purchase,

• frequent promotions, you add the models to your shopping basket and the promotion is added automatically,

• short lead times, as a rule, home safes are available off-the-shelf.

You will find our home safes, gun safes and other categories at: sklep.hartmann-tresore.pl.

On the other hand, for many customers the safe as such is a mystery. The industry is niche and the questions are endless. In this case, it would be a great idea to visit a safe showroom and talk to an advisor who will discuss with you step by step the most important issues, such as:

• defining your needs:
          – What do you want to keep inside (money, important documents, valuables, keys, items of sentimental importance)?
          – What are you most concerned about (theft or fire protection, perhaps both)?

• choosing the right model according to your needs,
• discussion of the quality of the materials and production process,
• reviewing the safes with a view to the lock and its functions (key lock, mechanical cipher lock, electronic lock).

A visit to the showroom means being served by an experienced and knowledgeable professional who will show you safes in different grades and sizes (including the most sensitive depth), demonstrate the door construction, the operation of the locking system and the lock, including changing the code, replacing batteries, showing you how the emergency key works.

The choice of channel for purchasing a safe is up to you. If you need a simple safe to perform a basic function, more for housekeeping than as actual protection against theft, an online shop is a good idea. You add the model you're interested in to your shopping basket and the safe is yours in no time.

If, however, you are seriously concerned about theft and are interested in a tailor-made, mechanically and fire-resistant product that is individually adjusted to your needs, a safe in which you can store your valuables in real safety, we recommend a visit to our showroom. We will present you the available solutions, show you the safes, help you to understand the offer and make up your mind.

Our showrooms are located in Warsaw, Aleje Jerozolimskie 200 and in Rzeszów, ul. Lucjana Siemieńskiego 20.
