5 safes for storing documents and money

Paritet-K L.30.K Price from 4 001 up to 4 788 ₴ →

An inexpensive solution for those who plan to store valuables in one place and away from prying eyes — Paritet-K L.30.K.This safe will allow you to hide valuable things from overly curious family members, guests or employees in the office. But the safe is unlikely to become a serious protection against a targeted attack by robbers — the protection class H0 (below zero) will make it possible to open it in a few minutes with the use of special devices, for example, drills.

Paritet-K L.30.K is designed for storing documents, seals or small amounts of money. In particular, the volume of the 34-liter model provides the possibility of placing five folders of the "crown" type in a horizontal position, and a large amount of cash can fit into it.

The safe has compact dimensions (300x430x320 mm) and light weight (16 kg). It can be placed almost anywhere, even on the shelf of the furniture wall. On the other hand, it allows you to easily take out the safe for subsequent opening. So it is necessary to fix it with anchor bolts to the floor or wall — it is not so easy to disconnect the secured safe.

The physical parameters of Paritet-K L.30.K are inferior to more expensive solutions: the thickness of the walls of the case is only 2 mm, the doors are 3 mm— And the safe door is locked with a Chinese—made SK 106 key lock with two crossbars — elements that, when closed, enter the socket in the fixed part of the safe, blocking the door opening. However, there are less reliable solutions with such a price tag.

It is worth noting that this model is produced by a east european manufacturer.

SAFEtronics NTL 24E Price from 12 046 up to 13 704 ₴ →

Like the previous model, SAFEtronics NTL 24E is designed more to hide valuables from prying eyes than to protect them in case of an attempted hacking by a bear-hunter. The safe has the same low protection class H0, but the case is still more solid — the wall thickness is 3 mm, and the doors are 6 mm. The volume of SAFEtronics NTL 24E is also small (38 liters), so the model is best suited for storing papers and seals in the office or small, but valuable, items at home. For example, you can hide an air gun in it from a child.

Inside the safe there is one shelf dividing the main compartment into two parts. Compact dimensions (287x435x360 mm) allow you to place it in a small room, and a relatively small weight (18 kg) — to install it on a bedside table or table. However, it is better to fix it with anchor bolts to prevent the safe from being taken out of the room.

An important feature of this model is the presence in it of an electronic combination lock that locks the door with two crossbars with a diameter of 22 mm. Electronic locks are considered more reliable than mechanical ones. Power for it is provided by four AA batteries with a voltage of 1.5 volts located inside the safe.

A special LED indicator will tell you when the battery charge is running out — you will need to open the safe and replace them. If the batteries do run out and the electronic lock stops working, the safe can be opened with an emergency mechanical key.

Valberg KVARCIT 46

Unlike the two previous models, the Valberg KVARCIT 46 is no longer just a strong box for storing documents, but a reliable safe that provides good protection of valuables. Although the first class of protection is the basic standard for burglar-proof safes, it allows the model to "resist" hacking attempts for a long time.

The internal volume of the safe is 42 liters with dimensions of 382x366x304 mm. So there will be enough space in it for papers, money and other valuables. Traditionally, the safe has a shelf for storing things.

The wall thickness of the Valberg KVARCIT 46 case is 40 mm, and the door is 90 mm. When pouring both walls and doors, concrete is used, so it will be very problematic to drill the safe with a drill or some other tool.

This model is locked using a German—made three-ring key lock Kaba Mauer with an increased stroke of two horizontal crossbars (there is also a third — vertical).

It is important that the lock has protection against drilling. In addition, the door is also protected from knocking out — in this case, the locking system of the bolt mechanism is triggered. And to protect against unauthorized removal, it is possible to attach the safe with anchor bolts to the floor. Although considering the considerable weight of 113 kg, it is very difficult to take it out.

Paritet-K F.30CLI.50.K Price from 20 986 up to 23 580 ₴ →

Another good solution for the safe storage of documents and jewelry is the safe Paritet—K F.30CLI.50.K. Like the previous model from Valberg, this copy has the first class of protection.

The external dimensions of the safe are 460x440x440 mm with a weight of 88 kg. And the total thickness of the case is 55 mm. Internal volume F.30CLI.50.K is 33 liters and is divided into two parts by a storage shelf.

The safe door is locked with a German STUV key lock with five crossbars, and the case is attached to the floor with anchor bolts.

A feature of Paritet-K F.30CLI.50.K is that this safe belongs to the category of so-called fire-burglar-proof. The door and the case are filled with special patented concrete, which, in addition to protecting the safe from physical impact, has refractory properties. BASF thermal tape of German production is applied along the perimeter of the door. This provides the model with fire resistance of category 30B.

This means that for half an hour at an outdoor temperature of 1100 °C inside the storage, the temperature will stay within 170 °C. Paper documents and money will not be damaged and will not ignite.

Valberg GARANT EVRO 46 CL

The name of this model speaks for itself. Valberg GARANT EVRO 46 CL is a real guarantor of the safety of your valuables at home or in the office. Potential attackers are unlikely to be able to easily open it, unless they use explosives.

The model has a second class of protection — the "coolest" and most reliable of all the review models. Thick walls (77 mm side and 55 mm rear) and the door (total thickness — 105 mm) are additionally reinforced with a protective layer — reinforcement with aerated concrete.

The safe is locked with a US-made LaGard mechanical combination lock, which has eight crossbars. The lock itself is additionally protected from drilling and knocking out. There is also a system for locking the bolt mechanism in an attempt to break in.

GARANT EVRO 46 CL is very heavy — about a hundred kilograms. That is, it is six times heavier than the most affordable model in the review with a similar internal volume. At the same time, there is a possibility of anchoring this safe to the floor. So it will be as difficult to steal it as to open it on the spot.

Like the previous model, the Valberg GARANT EVRO 46 CL belongs to the type of safes that are resistant to fire. Only here the fire resistance is still at a higher level — 60B. This indicator means that the safe can withstand a high temperature outside for about an hour and the documents, money, etc. stored inside will remain intact.

The internal volume of the safe is 33 liters, the main compartment is divided into two compartments by a shelf. And you can store really valuable things and large amounts of cash in it.
