There are many different types of
security safes available to ensure
your valuables are protected and stored out of sight. But another
solution is a diversion safe. This type of safe is disguised as an
everyday object, such as a wall socket, paint can, soup can, cleaning
fluid bottle or other. As you can imagine, these safes are a variety of
different sizes to authentic next to the genuine objects that they
imitate. Also, many types are weighted correctly.
Diversion Safes
are a ingenious portable safe solution. They are not needed to be
maintained, are inexpensive and there is no fitting or upheaval finding
a place for them. The majority of Diversion Safes are sealed with a
screw base as the main security feature is the fact they are hidden and
not suspected as anything valuable.
Diversion safes can be a
great solution for very small high value items such as jewelery or
papers. For a simple, security solution they are well worth a look.
The
downside with diversion safes is if they are found. Once they are
discovered they are simply screw top devices and your valuables are
accessed within seconds.
There are more comprehensive solutions
when you get to a more conventional type of safe. The security is based
upon locking mechanisms, there are hand, biometric, key code and key
locking mechanisms available and these vary in security levels and
price.
In addition to this, items stored in conventional or
diversion safes are still susceptible to fire with these units so do
consider, and be aware of this before purchase. If you feel that a
higher level of security or security with added fire protection is
needed you will have to look at a more substantial safe solution. Fire
Safes will achieve this but will need professional fitting.
