Cash Safes for home and office
Shopping cart and online catolog
Many of us, especially the wealthy like to keep a little bit of extra cash
on hand at home in cash
safes. You never know when a problem could arise, and it is nice to have
a little bit of extra, just in case. Fireproof cash safes ensure that the
contents are locked up safely. They won't be accessible to any intruders,
and the contents will be protected from a fire as well.

When choosing between Cash Safes, it's a good idea to see what kind of standards
and tests the safe has met. My choice would be to go with a media safe. These
are built to be a little more durable than regular safes, as they must withstand
higher temperatures. Most cash safes are built so the internal temperature
won't reach 350°F within a matter of a couple of hours.
Protect Your Valuables in Cash Safes or fireresisting cabinet
The standards for data safes are a little higher than those for cash safes.
Fireproof data storage safes must not exceed 125°F or 80 percent humidity
over the span of two hours. Even if you don't have any data that needs protecting
right now, you never know when you might. Everyday life is becoming more
and more computerized, and many documents are now stored on CDs and DVDs.
This could come in handy down the road.
Safes come in many shapes and sizes depending on what they're needed for.
Many business and companies purchase them to protect important documents
and files. Homes have smaller models which can easily be placed in the floor
of a closet for safekeeping. Whether you're looking for cash safes for the
home, or large fireproof filing cabinets for the office safes, there is a
model available that will suit your needs perfectly.

Combination Locks Combination locks work on a series of flat, round disks
that have notches and pegs (one of each, one set per disk) along their circumference.
Notches are referred to as "gates". The first tumbler determines
the last digit of the combination, and is actually attached to the dial directly.
As the dial is turned, the peg of the first tumbler catches on the middle tumbler's
peg, dragging it along. As the dial is turned further, the middle tumbler latches
on to the peg of the last tumbler, all three turning together. Turning all
the tumblers is known as "clearing" the lock, and must be done before
attempting to operate the lock. For the lock to open, the gate on each disk
must align up with the pawl (breaking arm) of the bolt. Dialling the first
digit of the combination aligns the last tumbler's gate to the pawl. Before
dialling the second digit, the dial must be turned one complete turn in the
opposite direction (assuming a three tumbler lock, twice for a four digit one).
Rotating in the original direction to the last digit will align the first tumbler's
gate, and the lock can open. Modern safe combination locks are impossible to
crack (literally). Many innovations have given high quality locks this degree
of security. Burglars learned to feel the gates and pegs rotate about the lock,
allowing them to manipulate the tumblers into their proper position. To combat
this, a separate front tumbler was designed to create shallow "false gates".
The false gates are difficult to distinguish from the actual gates. To combat
this problem, safe crackers would hook up a high speed drill to the dial. This
would wear the tumblers edges smooth, eliminating the bothersome shallow gates.
Still, despite their security, cheap combination locks are far from foolproof.
Determining an Unknown Combination The most common and difficult to open of
these small disk tumbler locks are the Master combination padlocks, and they
are quite popular.
