In order to choose the most suitable safe, you first need to answer the following questions:
What do we plan to store in the safe? Depending on this, we will choose the level of security, fire resistance, and size of the safe;
What size safe do we need? It is advisable to choose a larger safe than initially seems necessary;
Safe security level? The more valuable/expensive the items will be stored in the safe, the safer the safe will be;
Safe fire resistance? Is fire protection necessary? What do we want to protect from fire: paper, media?
Safe installation location and method? Based on this, we will choose a freestanding, wall-mounted, or floor-standing safe;
Safe lock type? You can choose a safe with different types of locks according to your wishes and capabilities.
Once you answer these questions, choosing a safe will be easy. Nowadays, you can find many safes on sale. It is not easy to delve into each of them. Therefore, safe trading websites have perfected clean safe grouping, filtering, easy search, and comparison capabilities - all of these tools (you can find them on the Saffort website) will help you narrow down your search from hundreds or thousands of possible options to a dozen or so units - then you can easily choose the product that suits you best.

In our assortment, we offer safes with the following types of locks: Key;
Double key;
Key and mechanical code;
Mechanical code;
Electronic code;
Biometric (locked with a fingerprint) + electronic code. There is no single correct answer to which lock to choose, it all depends on how convenient it will be for you to use it. Below we have described all the advantages and disadvantages that allow you to form your own opinion and make a decision on the choice of lock.
The most popular safe locks and recommendations:
Safes with an electronic lock. Advantages - security and the fact that you do not need to carry a key. Disadvantages - the batteries need to be changed every few years and the price is higher. This is the most recommended lock for a safe.
Safes with a key safe lock - the most common lock. Advantages - high security and good price. Disadvantages – a large, easily copied key that must be carried. We do not recommend.
Safes with a key safe and a mechanical combination lock. Advantages – security and an additional code combination that eliminates the need to always carry a key. We recommend.
Safes with a mechanical combination lock. Advantages – security and the fact that you do not need to carry a key. Disadvantages – extremely difficult to use. We do not recommend.
Safes with a biometric lock (fingerprint scan). Advantages – no need to carry a key. Disadvantages – low security of such locks, common in safes, complicated to use. We do not recommend.
Safes with a key lock. This is a cheap but very insecure option. We do not recommend.

Almost all better safes are certified according to certain standards and the certificate shows what level of security / fire resistance (class) the safe meets according to that standard. Security standards according to which safes are certified:
EN 14450 - this standard classifies "safe cabinets". More household safes are certified according to this standard, but there are also very secure safes certified according to this EN 14450. Security classes: S1 and S2 (S2 is the safer of the two).
EN 1143-1 - this standard classifies "safes, ATM safes, vault doors and vaults". EN 1143-1 - the main and most important European standard according to which safes are certified, including the most secure safes. Security classes: 0, I, II, III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII. The lock used in the safe is selected so that it generally allows the safe to achieve a certain security class according to the requirements of the safe standards. However, often safe manufacturers, in order to further emphasize the level of security of the safe, additionally indicate the security class of the lock installed in the safe.
Safe lock security standard:
EN 1300 - this standard is "classification of high-security locks according to their resistance to unauthorized unlocking". Security classes: A, B, C (C is the highest). Usually, EN 1300 class A locks are installed in safes up to security class 2 according to the EN 1143-1 standard, EN 1300 class B - in safes of classes 3-5 according to EN 1143, EN 1300 class C - in safes of classes 6-13 according to EN 1143-1.
Safes protect not only from theft, but also from fire. Fire safes are designed to protect paper and computer media - they are completely different safes because the critical temperature for paper is 177 degrees, and for media - 52. Fire resistance standards according to which safes are certified:
EN 15659 - this standard classifies "storage facilities with low fire resistance" and indicates their ability to protect paper from fire. Two resistance classes are defined: LFS 30 P and LFS 60 P (30 min and 60 min protection, respectively).
EN 1047 - 1 - this standard classifies "fire resistance of reliable storage facilities" and defines the protection of paper, data media and diskettes from fire. Classes: S 60 and S 120 (60 min and 120 min protection, respectively). Type of stored objects: The letter P stands for paper protection (e.g. S 60 P), D stands for data carrier protection (e.g. S 60 D), DIS stands for diskette protection (e.g. S 60 DIS). S 60 P/DIS means that the safe certificate confirms that the safe protects paper and diskettes against fire for 60 minutes.
NT FIRE 017 – this Swedish standard classifies and defines the fire protection of paper, data carriers and diskettes stored in storage facilities. Classes: 60, 90 and 120 (60 min, 90 min and 120 min protection, respectively). Type of stored objects: Paper stands for paper protection (e.g. NT FIRE 017 - 60 "Paper"), Data stands for data carrier protection (e.g. NT FIRE 017 – 60 Data), "Diskette" stands for diskette protection (e.g. NT FIRE 017 – 60 "Diskette").
There are more standards according to which safes are certified in various countries, such as the solid VDS, V.D.M.A. in Germany, UL in Great Britain and completely insignificant and questionable ones in certain other countries. However, they are much less common and in our opinion most of the best safes have certificates that meet the standards mentioned here, so they are easy to compare with each other. What to do if you forget the code of the electronic safe lock? The code of the electronic safe lock is unique and there is no way to change it without opening the safe. The manufacturer also does not have a “secret” code for such cases because then the security would be reduced. We recommend that you write down the code and / or if the safe provides such an opportunity, program two different codes and keep that information in a safe place - e.g. at work or the like. Then, if you forget the code, you can use another one. If, however, you cannot remember the code and the lock does not have an additional unlocking option with a mechanical key, then unfortunately, the only option left is to call an emergency opening service, who will open the safe in an emergency manner - that is, by drilling or cutting it.

The code for the electronic lock of a safe is like the key to a mechanical lock - if you forget it (i.e. if you lose the key), the safe will need to be opened in an emergency. Depending on the safe, this can be a very complicated and expensive procedure, and in such cases the safe or at least its door is usually damaged. Therefore, after purchasing a safe with an electronic lock and changing its factory code to a code of your choice, we strongly recommend that you save that code somewhere else. For this purpose, special programs have been created for smartphones and computers, where you can store various pin codes, as well as the safe lock code. A simpler solution is to keep the written code in a different place than the safe, for example, if the safe is at home, then keep the code in the office, at a relative's place, etc. If you forget the safe's electronic lock unlocking code, you will have to contact emergency opening specialists, whom we will help you find.

Typically, safes with electronic locks have one of two options for connecting an external power source in case the safe's batteries are dead:
Adding a 9V battery (Crohn) to a specific location directly on the safe door - some manufacturers' safes provide such a really convenient option.
Using the cable supplied with the safe, which is connected to the safe's lock from the outside and to which the Crohn or batteries need to be connected.
Attention: if the safe is sold with a cable used to connect an additional power source, this cable must be stored outside the safe. If you cannot find the cable or have left it in the safe, contact the safe seller and he will provide you with a spare cable. After connecting an external power source, the safe is unlocked by entering the electronic lock code. Then, when opening the safe, it is necessary to replace the discharged batteries in it.

In a situation where you have lost the key to the safe and do not have another one, and you do not remember the mechanical or electronic code for unlocking the lock, the safe will have to be unlocked in an emergency way. For this, we would advise you to call professionals. They will open the safe with minimal damage possible in such cases, and it is possible that after such an operation the safe will not have to be thrown away (i.e. the safe will not be cut), but it will be enough to change the lock, for example. Opening high-security safes can require a lot of time, equipment and effort - so it will be expensive. Before allowing an emergency opening specialist to open the safe in an emergency way, make sure that he is a reliable person and has a document confirming that he can engage in such a profession.

If for any reason you are not satisfied with the safe you purchased, you can safely return it. Saffort will refund you all the money you paid for the safe and will pay the transportation costs for returning the safe.
