A safe, as a product that is secure and protects values, is usually associated with something larger (a vault), or a product with thick, solid door, heavy metal walls with filling inside, a massive structure. However, imagine a safe that is secure and at the same time completely invisible to the human (and above all undesired) eye. It is an unusual combination of innovation and secrecy. It is said that money likes silence. If money is one of your first associations with a safe, it is accurate to say that the best safe (for storing cash and other valuables) is a hidden safe. So what is an invisible safe? It is a device that is concealed, hidden in such a way that it is invisible at first sight, difficult to detect. So discreet that unauthorised people have to take the trouble to find it at all.
No matter where a burglary takes place – in a house, flat, shop, business or institution – the burglar's greatest enemy is always time. A hidden safe is a non-obvious solution. It is an excellent choice because it takes time to find it and even more time to break into such a safe.
However, simply being invisible is not enough to ensure the safety of the items deposited in the safe. This is why the products available from Hartmann Tresore are primarily security certified to prove their specific resistance to being broken into. An invisible safe can also be connected to an alarm system and have detectors that respond to any attempted security breach.
Invisible safes – or what kind of safes?
When it comes to safes that can be concealed easily, we can distinguish between the following products:
• wall safes – they are the ideal solution during the planning stage of a building project, construction or renovation. Wall safes are the silent "heroes" of American films (Yes! We mean exactly those scenes in which the wall safe "emerges" after tilting a painting, for example). Such a hidden camouflage safe is a great solution because it is difficult to find. Wall safes are also ideal in terms of saving space. This type of safe is built into the wall to conceal it and make it significantly more difficult to pull out. In order to install such a safe, a specific opening must be prepared in advance – the prepared recess must be the right size. We recommend that it should be about 10 cm higher, wider and deeper than the safe itself. This allows the safe to be surrounded by a layer of concrete.
• floor safes – like wall safes, they are ideally suited to being hidden in the floor with the proviso that the opening for a specific size (including a 'reserve' of 10 cm) must be planned and prepared in advance.
• furniture safes – these are certified, classified safes, but "light" enough to be suitable for built-in furniture, but can also be hidden, for example in a desk.
The lowest price is one of the characteristics of small wall safes, floor safes and furniture safes (compared to the classified free-standing safes) that customers pay attention to.
What is a "ghost safe"?
Hartmann Tresore offers an innovative solution called 'ghost safe' – this is (in simplest terms) a safe within a safe – a double safe.
On the surface, the ghost safe looks like an ordinary wall safe, but this is only a pretence! When you open the first door of the safe, you see the first part of the safe, the first chamber. The second chamber is hidden deeper – in the further part of the safe. Only the owner knows that this second part exists.
How do you order a camouflage safe?
What is the most important thing? Definitely choosing the right place where you want to hide the safe. The dimensions of the recess (in the wall or floor) or the size of the available space (in a furniture built-in) are important.
Many customers ask whether free shipping is available from us. We sometimes offer our customers delivery by forwarding or courier (delivery to the building). Delivery with lifting and assembly is also available in our offer.
The safe is packed discreetly, in a cardboard box, without any markings to indicate what is being delivered. What the contents are – only YOU know.
How can you place an order with us? Very simply – by phone or email. If the safe is in stock, we will dispatch it within 2 days. If the safe is going into production – we will let you know when it is ready for transport.
Summary
An invisible safe combines innovation, secrecy and security. Such a safe is invisible at first glance, providing discretion and effective protection against being located and against unauthorised access.
It allows us to feel more secure knowing that our most important belongings are properly hidden and protected.
