If you are in the market for a safe for your home or business, there is a website that has an incredible Safe Selection Wizard for finding exactly the safe you need. One has only to answer a few questions, and the Wizard will display all the safes available that will fit your needs, and in a wide range of prices.
First determine what kind of protection is needed. The Wizard will ask you about the obvious - fire and theft protection but also about storage for firearms, storage in small spaces and storage for data tapes, CD's, DVD's, media, photos and collections like baseball cards or stamp collections.
Once you have finished that step, you'll be asked to estimate the value of the items being stored from $0 up to $500,000. Don't underestimate this, as it can make your safe obsolete very quickly. In the same way, don't pick a safe too small to hold the things you want to put in it. Measure those things and compare to the measurements with each safe description. (You'll see the descriptions when the Wizard makes your selections.)
The next step is to choose the level of fire protection needed based upon your home or business location. If you live in a city and have nearby fire department, then you can probably get away with 1 hour or less fire protection. In the country, however, you may need up to 2 hours, because response times are longer.
The final step is to tell the wizard what will be stored in the safe based upon the type of safe you chose in step one. Those include valuables like jewelry or cash; papers like important documents; media like CD/DVDs, microfiche or backup tapes; and finally medications as in a Doctor's office.
The wizard will select all the safes that meet your criteria and present each with a picture, description, dimensions and price. You can then sort all the safes selected from Small to Large or Large to Small. A rule of thumb is to allow at least 50% more space than you currently need to allow for future growth. Verify again the dimensions against the item being stored, and make your selection. It couldn't be easier!
