A <\/span>home safe<\/span><\/a> is designed to protect and keep your most valuable documents and possessions secure, organized, and accessible. Your first instinct when thinking about getting a home safe might be to only get one large enough for the precious items you are wanting to protect. Having a larger home safe allows for future items to be added as safe owners often find they need two or three times the capacity they thought was necessary.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While there are plenty of home safes available in standard options to fit your needs, consider customizing one with Fort Knox instead. You can customize it according to the size, locking mechanism, thickness of the steel, fire rating, interior and exterior finishes, and much more. This quick guide will help you navigate the options for customizing your home safe.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why A Home Safe Is So Important<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

Think about the items you have in your home that would make you feel devastated if you lost them. It could be anything from old photos or even important documents like your social security card, contracts or tax documents. Coin collections, gold and silver can also be securely locked.\u00a0 Your home safe keeps all of these items preserved, protected and in one location so you can have quick access whenever you want to showcase them, as opposed to options like offsite safety deposit boxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

They also offer fire and theft protection in the event one of these unfortunate circumstances occurs. If a natural disaster strikes, you can feel confident knowing the most important possessions you have can be kept safe and out of harm\u2019s way when they are in your home safe.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many of Fort Knox\u2019s home safes have a fire protection rating of up to 1680\u00b0 for up to 120 minutes, so you can feel confident knowing your important documents and items are safe in the event of a fire at your home. For comparison purposes, a normal house fire will be in the range of 800\u00b0-1200\u00b0. The home safes offered by Fort Knox stand out from the competition as they go above and beyond the industry standards for fire protection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Security Considerations<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

A major desire homeowners have today is <\/span>theft protection<\/span><\/a>. Home security systems are more sophisticated than ever before, but you should never underestimate the lengths thieves will go to in order to steal valuable possessions. With a strong steel home safe, the strength is at such a high level that it\u2019s virtually indestructible for humans. With a Fort Knox home safe, you\u2019ll have the benefit of inner-steel liners for increased security. Depending on what items you plan on storing in your home safe, you can add up to four additional steel liners for maximum protection to the things that matter most. Door corner bolts are also unique characteristics of Fort Knox home safes, as they provide additional protection against pry attacks, which usually begin at the corner of the door.<\/span><\/p>\n
