Key Cabinets Safes & Lockboxes

Choosing the right type of cabinet primarily depends on what you will be storing in it. Here are a few different types:

• A filing cabinet stores photos, contracts, and other business documents. It protects them against fire, but not against burglary. Therefore, you should not store confidential documents in such a cabinet.
• A safety locker (also known as a safe) is a good choice for storing a large amount of money, gold, and precious metals. Some safes are also approved for storing weapons.
• A weapons cabinet is there to protect against the theft of your weapons and ammunition. Some are also fire-protected.
• A key cabinet is a so-called anti-theft cabinet, in which you can store keys in spaces where many people are present, for example in a store.
• A cash drawer is a burglary-delaying cabinet that can store a small amount of cash.

How much money do you plan to store in the cabinet? This is important, as it must be approved for that amount. It is also a good idea to double-check with your insurance company that the insurance covers the cabinet you are planning to buy.

Companies often have a minimum requirement that the safe must be certified in accordance with regulations for the storage of cash up to a certain amount, as well as weapons and ammunition.
