The Best Safes for Small Offices

In the past couple of decades, more and more small businesses have been popping up everywhere. Stand-alone shops or independently owned businesses with only a handful of locations are undoubtedly on tight budgets, but that does not mean that the right security should fall by the wayside. In fact, there are plenty of things that small businesses can do to maintain or increase their security. One such task is to purchase a safe of some sort. There are plenty of safe options that business owners of all kinds can choose and benefit from. If you are a business owner or have a small office that you simply want to make sure is protected, read more about how a small office safe can benefit your business.

Benefits of Small Office Storage

It is always better to have some sort of locked safe rather than not. Safes can store a variety of items and documents that may be crucial for one to keep protected. Safes are great for storing items like cash, checks, employee files, W2s, financial information, flash drives, and other valuable or personal information.

Most safes you will find up for sale today will also come made with fire-resistant and waterproof materials. This is another great reason to purchase an office safe, even if you are not worried about thefts or information being stolen. Poor weather conditions and unexpected leaks or fires could result in damage to your assets. With a fire and water-proof safe, you can rest easy knowing that your items are safe from both the elements and theft.

Type of Small Office Safes

Standard safe

A standard safe is a great option for some offices. Standard safes come in a lot of different sizes, but a wall or floor mounted safe that is only a foot or so high may be a good size to consider. A standard safe can be mounted to the wall or floor, meaning it will be impossible to not only break-in to, but also to physically move. The concern with some smaller office safes is that they can be taken away, even if the thief is never able to actually open it. If you are concerned about the safe ever being taken off property during a robbery, you should consider a safe that is mountable somewhere in your office.

Another great perk to a smaller, standard safe for your office is that they have more room for you to customize and rearrange items. The smaller the safe is that you purchase, the less room you will have to add items later that you had not initially considered storing in the safe. It is best to have a little more room than you think you might need, rather than end up with less. If your business is growing or expanding, consider a small to medium size standard safe.

DROP OR DEPOSITORY SAFES

Depository safes are very popular for businesses owners, especially if you have employees that frequently cash out tills or handle checks and cash. Drop boxes are secure safes that have a slot that is big enough to fit envelopes, cash, and other paper items without the safe itself having to unlock. This allows employees to quickly and easily put large quantities of cash in a safe and secure place without unlocking the safe or needing an access code to it. Employees can put cash and documents inside but will be unable to take anything back out without the access code.

CASH BOXES

Cash boxes are free-standing safes that are about the size of a lunchbox. They have compartments to store coins, bills, and checks. For some businesses, a mounted safe or bigger safe of any kind will be completely unnecessary. However, they still may need a way to securely lock up cash and other small items. A cash box is a good purchase if you have a limited number of employees, as well as deal with smaller quantities of cash from day-to-day. One perk of having a cash box is that it can move with you and be tucked away in a suitcase or bag. If you own a business that travels to conventions, for example, a cash box can help you organize your finances while also keeping any earnings safely locked away.

DESK/CABINET/FILE LOCKS

Another option, especially if you are struggling to decide on a safe option that is right for you, is to add locks to your business cabinets, file drawers, and even your desk drawers. If you already have a filing system in place or are primarily concerned with secure document storage, you may consider a desk or file lock. Not every business will require a heavy-duty safe, so it is possible that with the addition of a simple file or desk lock, you can secure any important documents or information with ease.

RECEIVE PROFESSIONAL SAFE INSTALLATION

If you are ready to purchase an office safe, be sure to go through a local locksmith. Especially if you are still not sure which safe will benefit you most or you plan on purchasing a large safe, you will want to consult an expert. A lot of locksmiths sell, set-up, and install commercial safes of all kinds. It is also good to purchase a safe from a locksmith so you have a trustworthy resource to return to if you ever need a combination change, repair, or some other type of safe maintenance performed.
