How to anchor a safe according to the regulations?The passive security sector has been developing new systems and storage units to guard important assets.The greater the value of the object that we want to save, the more necessary it will be to install an approved and very secure source box that can make it difficult for thieves to manipulate.In the market you can find several models with different levels of security.The camouflaged safe is one of the options most recommended by experts, while the embeddable safe stands out for its reliability, which is installed inside a wall in places that are difficult to detect.You can also choose a smart safe that is controlled from your mobile with an encrypted app.This safe sends a notification if someone tries to open it or if it is getting damaged.José Miguel Ángel Olleros, consultant in Security by Design and Neurosecurity, points out that "a strong and well-anchored box is useless if its lock is not a security one and can be opened easily."Indeed, it is important to choose the most secure locking system, between opening by means of a key or with an electronic combination with a numerical code.On the contrary, he does not highlight the mechanical combination locking system for its level of security, which is opened with a password by turning one or more wheels.In every home there are places that can be considered safer than others.If we want to achieve the greatest possible discretion, we can choose a location that is known by the fewest number of friends who regularly frequent our house.It seems obvious, however it is important to clarify it: it is not recommended to install a safe in easily located places, such as the closet or the wall behind a painting in the living room.When we choose where to place the safe, we must evaluate the most common robbery methods among thieves to place it in a position where it is difficult to maneuver.Crowbars are the preferred tools for trying to open a safe.Therefore, in order to place this security element, it is advisable to choose a narrow corner or corridor where the thief cannot work comfortably.If the distance between the safe and the wall is less than two meters, we can reduce maneuverability with tools such as mallets.When choosing the location of the safe, we must also take into account the amount of moisture in the materials that surround it.Indeed, this factor can damage the mechanisms of the box along with its valuable content.The UNE EN 1143-1 standard sets the requirements and test methods for the resistance to theft of safes.Ranks safes into 11 strength ratings, from 0 to X, with 0 being the lowest level and X being the highest.The standard includes the requirement for the exclusive use of certified locks.On the other hand, the UNE 108136 standard establishes the different anchoring possibilities of security storage units, so that the resistance to extraction is at least equivalent to the weight of a 2000 kg safe.The UNE-EN-14450 standard provides for the resistance to theft of light safes, which it classifies into two security levels and is aimed at products with a robust construction but less heavy than those of grade 0. On the other hand, the UNE-EN-15659 standard establishes the safety of safes against fire, classifying them into two levels of resistance to temperature increase in the event of fire: 30 or 60 minutes.Save my name, email, and website in this browser the next time I comment.Search for companies, brands, products...Do you want to be the first to receive news?Subscribe to the Security Notebooks NewsletterDo you want to be the first to receive news?Subscribe to the Security Notebooks NewsletterCuadernosdeseguridad.com is the most visited specialized security sector portal in the sector, with access to digital publications, Cuadernos de Seguridad and Instalsec, two leading titles in the Security sector.The website offers the most relevant information for all users linked to the world of security: a complete directory of companies, with a search engine that allows selective searches by name, product, category, province or country;the newest and most innovative products;cybersecurity, access control, video surveillance, fire, intrusion..., and much more.
