We all have valuable items that we want to keep safe from burglary, fire or any other natural disasters. These can range from heirloom jewelry to important papers.

You might be curious about what the costs are of installing a security safe. Here are a number of factors that will affect your costs.

Type of Safe

There are many different types of safes in a variety of price ranges. The price will be determined by a combination of size and how impervious the safe is to breakage, damage, lock tinkering, fire and water. Many safes have fire ratings that show how many hours the safe could be exposed to fire before it will burn. The higher the fire rating, the more expensive the safe. Other safes will guarantee against breakage or the ability of their locks to be picked or tampered with. All of these features will affect your cost. Which features you choose to invest more money into will depend on the value of what you want protected
