For storing documents and valuables in the "insides" of the product, 26 liters of useful volume are allotted, and to be more precise, the dimensions of the inner space of the safe are 280x420x214 mm (HxWxD). Access to a single compartment, divided by a removable shelf, opens after entering the code combination on the electronic lock panel. In case the code has been forgotten for some reason, there is an alternative way to unlock the door — by means of a classic key lock.

The front wall of the safe is made of steel 12 mm thick, the rest are 3 mm thick. The product is certified according to class I resistance to burglary. In order to protect the contents from unauthorized access, the design of the model provides for the protection of the lock from drilling, and the crossbars from knocking out.

Having solid experience in the production of safes, the east european brand "Paritet-K" comes from Nizhyn, Chernihiv region, and can offer a wide range of valuables storage. Among it is one of the interesting models of the built-in type W-3219E.

The symbol "E" in the name of the safe clearly hints at the electronic combination lock put into service. It is powered by a PP3-type battery, the charge of which is usually enough for a year and a half. When the battery is low, each opening of the door is accompanied by a sound signal, and if the battery runs out completely, you can open the safe from the outside through two special terminals. The code lock supports setting up a combination of up to 6 characters, which is given 4 attempts to enter. In case of failure, the lock is automatically blocked for 5 minutes.

The body of the product is a double-walled "sandwich" with a hardware of fortified concrete. The thickness of its side walls is 2 mm, and the doors — 10 mm. In the opening, the latter is securely held by four crossbars (two are brought out to the left side of the door, one each up and down). According to the classification of protection against burglary, the safe was assigned a basic level of burglary resistance (I class). The onslaught of the prepared bugbear Paritet-K GRIFFON W-3219E is unlikely to withstand, but just getting to its contents will not work.

The interior space of the safe is roughly divided in half by a removable horizontal shelf. Accordingly, you can store various kinds of valuables in it — from jewelry to A4 securities. Additional measures to protect the contents are 8 mm thick anchor rods, through which the safe is attached to the wall. In terms of price and quality ratio, the brainchild of Paritet-K is among the leaders in the middle segment, captivating with reliability in operation and unpretentiousness in handling.

Valberg's compact home and office safe is designed to be wall-mounted to prevent attempts to steal the entire product and its contents. Dimensions for "embedding" the model should be 330x390x286 mm.

The first link in the protection of stored valuables is an electronic combination lock with support for entering combinations from 6 to 8 characters long. After three consecutive incorrect attempts to enter the password, the lock is automatically blocked for 5 minutes. It lives on energy from the PP3 battery installed inside.

The locking system of the safe consists of 4 chromium-plated steel bolts that close the door in three directions: up, down and sideways. In addition to the main metal sheet with a thickness of 10 mm, the front panel is reinforced with an additional plate that complicates access to the lock. In addition, the door is planted on internal hinges, which ensure its opening by 90 °.

The safe has one independent compartment, and a horizontal shelf is provided for its zoning. There is enough space inside the Valberg AW-1 3329 EL to store documents and valuables in small quantities, for example, jewelry, a certain amount of cash, securities and an air pistol. It is better to entrust the storage of more serious “guns” to specialized gun safes, a selection of interesting specimens of which can be found in the article “Bang bang — oh-oh-oh! TOP 5 safes for storing weapons and ammunition.

Whoever says what, but the real German quality is always visible to the naked eye. Confirmation of this is the MDTB VEGA 39.E safe from Germany.

The model belongs to the category of embeddable solutions. The advantage of such vaults is the minimum space occupied, in addition, the wall safe is easy to disguise, for example, under a picture. The burden of responsibility for the safety of valuables falls on the front panel, which is almost entirely occupied by a door with a total thickness of 85 mm. The protective layer on the front of the door has a thickness of 14 mm.

Security systems in the arsenal of MDTB VEGA 39.E are represented by blocking the bolt mechanism consisting of 6 latches in case of force impact and protection against drilling of the lock. The latter, by the way, is unlocked by entering a code combination on the electronic panel built directly into the door.

The safe is more expensive than competitors of similar capacity, but the build quality of the model is appropriate. Finding fault with the product is unlikely to succeed even with a strong desire to find flaws in it. So if you have accumulated material values, take a closer look at MDTB VEGA 39.E — the safe knows a lot about storing them and will not let you down in the hour of adversity.
