How Safe is Your Safe Deposit Box?

I’ve got a safe deposit box. I don’t know you, but I’m guessing that YOU have a safe deposit box too! At least, if you’ve got any brains in your head you do! In this day and age, with identity theft such a growth industry, it’s more important than ever to keep all your important documents in a safe deposit box.

And of course, it’s always a good idea to keep other valuables besides important documents, I’m talking about jewelry, rare coins, gold bars, diamonds, etc in a safety deposit box. Or is it?

Just how safe IS your safe deposit box? Sure, it’s in a bank….but banks get robbed all the time. Sometimes robbers go straight to the deposit boxes because they know that’s where the good stuff is. After all, it’s hard to walk out of a bank with huge bags of cash (those things are incredibly heavy!), but if they can walk out with a handful of diamonds that may be worth millions of dollars…well, you get the idea.

Brankas

And you don’t just have to worry about theft…there’s always a threat of fire, flood, earthquake, alien invasion…well okay, strike that last one. But natural disasters do occur, and banks are not immune to these things.

So what can you do to make sure that your safe deposit box is…well…safe?

The most important thing you can do is to buy insurance for the contents of your box. Some banks offer a minimum level of insurance with the box (ask your banker to be sure) but this will not likely cover all the contents of your box, especially if you have high worth items.

Some people use private safety deposit box companies instead of banks. Generally speaking, these companies usually offer a little more in insurance for new depositors. Check to see with your specific box company what the general levels are.

Some things aren’t cover-able by insurance. Things like stock certificates, for instance, fall into this category. In that case, I suggest you leave your stock certificates on file with your brokerage company as they are well endowed to handle these sorts of things. Your brokerage firm has a legal obligation to safeguard your certificates that is probably more compelling than a banks safe deposit obligations.

One solution (well a SORT of solution) is to keep multiple safe deposit boxes at multiple banks in multiple towns. You don’t want to keep multiple boxes at the same bank, because if a fire hits, all the boxes will get destroyed equally.

And you don’t want to keep multiple boxes at banks that are close to each other, because if a earthquake or flood hits, chances are all the banks in your area could be hit. I suggest keeping two or three boxes in several towns, each within about an hour driving distance.

An hour is far enough away so that a natural disaster of some sort would likely miss each bank, yet not too far away that you can’t get there in an hour or so. Another solution is to open a box in the city where you usually vacation, or one in which you travel to often for business.

Keeping your safe deposit box safe is a tricky matter. However you end up solving this little dilemma, as long as you know this potential problem exists, you are already way ahead of the game. I suggest you use a combination of insurance for the high-worth items and diversification for all the others.

Can a creditor (personal debt) seize a bank safe deposit box?

My family shares a safe deposit box. One of the family members has some debt (under $5k). Can the creditor seize or freeze the box if it is shared by all the family? Should we remove that family member’s name from the account to protect ourselves from getting entangled?

What they can legally do and what they might try are two different things. I am pretty sure they cannot seize a safe deposit box if it is in more than one person’s name.

However, you need to look at what your remedies are if they do seize it regardless of what the law is. You will have to file suit against them to return the contents. That means hiring an attorney and paying the money out of pocket to enforce your rights.

Better safe than sorry. I would recommend removing that person’s name ASAP.

What to Keep in Your Home Safe

Home safes are a popular way for people to store documents and personal items that have great value. Before purchasing a home safe you should make a list of what you plan to store inside it. This will help you to determine how large of a safe you will need to purchase. To help you start your list here are some suggestions of items that are typically stored in a home safe.

Non-paper document items:

• Cash. Some people like to keep a certain amount of reserved cash available and a home safe is a great place to keep it.

• Back up CD’s, DVD’s flash drives and portable hard drives. If you own a computer, backing up important files is a necessity. Keeping the backups in your home safe gives them extra protection.

• Jewelry. If you have expensive jewelry it is wise to keep it locked inside a home safe and not just laying around.

• Video or pictures of your home possessions. A video or still pictures of your home possessions will be valuable if your house was to ever be burglarized or if your home was to experience a fire.

• Expensive collections like a coin collection. Keep in mind that some collections may be to large to fit into a safe, but if they fit it is a great place to keep them.

Documents:

• Copy of marriage license, divorce papers and child custody papers

• Copy of your will

• Birth and Death Certificates

• Passports

• Social Security cards

• Military Records

• Insurance policies including life, home, automobile and any other item specific policies

• Copy of Mortgage

• Property titles and deeds

• Automobile titles

• Stocks and Bonds

• Appraisals of valuable property including jewelry, collectables, artwork, etc.

• Copies of Education Degrees

• Copies of Professional Licenses

• Copies of any pertinent health information

• Copies of Living wills and power of attorney papers

• Tax returns

• Any other pertinent papers

Once you have purchased a home safe and have all of your pertinent possessions stored inside, be sure to tell someone you know and trust completely the safe’s combination or where you store the key. Be selective and don’t go around telling others about your safe.

It is always a good idea to open up your safe at least once or twice a year to go through it. Make sure that all documents are up to date. If they are not, get the updated copies into your safe. Get rid of any items and documents that may no longer be pertinent. Keeping your home safe organized on a regular basis will allow for easy access to anything you may need to find quickly. It is also advisable to develop a spread sheet that you can keep in your safe that documents everything that you have inside. A quick reference will be great for you and most helpful to others if there was every an emergency.

If you have valuables that need to be stored in a safe, make sure you choose a model that is burglary rated and fireproof. This article briefly discusses some of the available fireproof safe models that carry both types of ratings. We’ll look at models from Cobalt Safes and Fire King Safes.

The fireproof rating of a safe is usually expressed in minutes or hours, and gives an indication of how well the safe would protect it’s contents during a fire. An example rating would be a 2 hour fireproof rating. This means that the fireproof safe has been subjected to a 1700 degree F fire for a period of 2 hours, and the temperature inside the safe did not rise above 350 degree F. This is a low enough temperature to protect documents and other durable valuables such as jewelry from permanent damage.

The burglary rating, usually expressed in minutes, gives an indication of how difficult the safe is to break into. For example, a 15 minute burglary rating means that it took an experienced locksmith 15 minutes to gain access to the safe using common locksmithing tools.

The Cobalt Model SB-01C is a 1.0 cubic foot model with a 2 hour fireproof rating, a glass relocker and is burglary rated. It can be ordered with a combination dial lock or a convenient electronic keypad lock. This fireproof safe features a tri-spoke handle and massive chrome plate steel and stationary bolts. The Cobalt SB series also comes with a lifetime fireproof warranty.

The Cobalt SB-02C model has a 2.19 cubic foot capacity and also carries a 2 hour fireproof rating. It also features a remote glass relocker, heavy-duty ball bearing hinges and 1 adjustable shelf. This fireproof safe is available with a combination dial lock (S & G Group II) or an easy to use electronic keypad lock.

For even more storage capacity, the Cobalt SB-03C fireproof safe features 3.43 feet of storage, 2 adjustable shelves, a 2 hour fireproof rating and is burglary rated. It also features a remote glass relocker, a tri-spoke handle and heavy duty ball bearing hinges. It is available with either a mechanical combination dial or an electronic keypad locking mechansim.

FireKing also produces fireproof safes with impact ratings. Impact ratings ensure that the safe’s contents are not damaged during a fire when the roof or walls collapse on the safe. The Fire King Model KV714 features a 1.6 cubic foot storage capacity, an electronic keypad lock, an automatic relocker, 3 way bolt work and 1 adjustable shelf.

The FireKing model KV2015 features a UL Class 350 fireproof and impact rating, an electronic digital lock, 3 way boltwork, automatic re-locking and 2 adjustable shelves. This fireproof safe also features heavy duty hinges for smooth operation and an integrated door hardplate.

If you’re a proud gun owner, you probably know the importance of investing in the proper safe to secure your firearms. Not only does a safe help keep your firearms protected from risks of fire and water damage, they also help resist against burglary. Most importantly owning the proper safe can help keep your firearms out of the reach of children’s hands. With all of the differing opinions on which type of unit is best, let’s take a look at the biometric gun safes and see if they work as well as they claim.

Biometric gun safes operate similarly to traditional security safes. Instead of having a combination lock or an electronic lock that provides access with a personal identification number, a biometric gun safe uses fingerprint technology to recognize users. Most models enroll members by having them record their fingerprint at the scanner. Most units will take two to three snapshots of the users fingerprint to provide more access scans. Once the images have been recorded, the safe will automatically lock or unlock once the fingerprint has been recognized as a valid user.

Biometric gun safes generally operate on standard batteries which can provide months of service on a single charge. If you’re looking to make the investment, be sure to look for a model that offers a backup key, a recharging port, and one that will retain user data in the event of a power failure.

One of the reasons that the biometric gun safe is gaining popularity is that they provide quick access. Imagine if someone was braking into your house in the middle of the night, are you going to be able to scramble for your combination lock in the dark? With a biometric gun safe, you can simply press your fingerprint against the scanner and most safes will open in less than one second.

So now that we’ve taken a closer look at these fingerprint gun safes, the question is, do they work? Well, the answer is yes! Many years ago, biometric technology was flakey and only used in high end government applications, but not any more. Biometric scanners have advanced and now provide reliable service with easy to use features. In fact, some of the most popular brands of safe manufacturers are beginning to utilize biometrics in their gun safes. This includes Sentry Safe and American Security Safes to name a few. What’s even more reassuring is that most models come with a warranty as manufacturers are now proud to stand behind their products including the new popular biometric models.

If you’ve read past negative reviews about a fingerprint based model you may want to do your homework and catch up on the latest trend for firearm owners. You may be surprised to see how far this technology has come and make the decision to trust biometrics for you favorite possessions!

Is there an easy at home way to detect fingerprints on my black safe?

It is a black, metal gun safe, and i am afraid someone has been messing with it. Does anyone know of a easy to find way to detect fingerprints on this type of material?

fingerprints are easily obtained if the surface is kept clean. i mean if it is dusty then not even the police will bother to try. but if it’s clean then get some fine powder and a fine brisle brush (then do what they do on TV) and apply then powder. then with some clean, clear, and wide faced sticky tape, – you may record the prints. with a high powered scanner it is also possible to archive the prints on your computer until you can obtain sample prints from suspects (for a good scan use a dark coloured powder). do the same and compare. i hope its not kids. thats all this world needs is kids that are curious about guns. its good to hear you keep it/them in a safe.

Vacations should be exciting times for everyone, whether you are traveling to the next state or another country. However, people tend to become a little less vigilant on vacation and feel invincible in some ways which can lead to problems.

You may feel like you ought to be able to let your guard down, but even on vacation ugly incidents can take place, such as theft or even losing your valuables. You can learn some ways to avoid this so that you don’t have a ruined vacation by losing your passport or having money stolen out of your hotel room.

Regarding your passport, it is vital that upon arriving in your hotel room you immediately place it securely in the hotel safe. You should not carry it around with you for any reason other than when you absolutely need it. Obtain a map of the nearest consulate who can help if you do lose it or have it stolen.

When it comes to your luggage, purchase suitcases that lock securely; then keep them locked at all times. It only takes a minute for someone to open it up and take what they see fit, so keep it locked even in your hotel room. Resist the temptation to bring so much luggage that you can’t keep track of your bags while you hail a taxi or stand in an airport.

Clearly you should always be aware of your surroundings, no matter where you are. Your vacation destination may seem on the surface like the safest place in the world, but thieves are not particular to only seedy locations. So never ask strangers to watch your things, and do not walk around with a lot of cash in your pocket or purse.

Whenever possible, use credit cards when on vacation – so you can cancel them if stolen – or traveler’s checks. There are numbers on the traveler’s checks that you should write down and keep separate from the checks themselves so that if you lose them you can cancel those as well and have new ones reissued.

Finally, hotel safety is important. Choose a secure hotel on a well-traveled street so that even if you come back late at night you can walk more safely. Instead of staying off the beaten path, reserve a tourist hotel that is heavily populated. Never open your hotel door to someone you don’t know, and double lock your door when you are in.

Vacations can be fun if they are safe, so be aware of everything you do at home to remain safe, and do the same during your travel.

Floor Safes Provide the Best Protection

With the exponential increase in the crime rate the people are getting more and more concerned about their valuable items and belongings. As the crime has increased exponentially it has also forced the people to think about the safety of their belongings, and the safety concerns are the main issue and it has lead to the increase in the demand of safety equipments. The most common safety feature which is used in every home or office to secure the valuable items is safe. The designers and the manufacturers of these safety things came up with the idea of protecting the important documents and elements of human beings by designing safes.

So after all their designs and ideas the safe named floor safe came into public eye. Basically safes are divided into three categories depending upon their configurations and installations. First one are the wall safes that is which are fixed with the walls, second one is the free standing safe which stand freely anywhere or at any place where you keep them, and the third one are the floor safes. Floor safes are regarded as the most secure safes, which has lead to its great demand in market.

The floor safes were also designed with the same objective as of the other two safes that is to protect the valuables and other important documents. The name of this safe is set according to their installation. As these safes are mounted into the slab of the floor, so the designers of floor safe suggest that its position should be carefully determined before installing it so as to get maximum benefit of the floor safe. If the floor safe are mounted after checking its site carefully and doing all the essential analyses than the floor safes can serve as the best safes by providing maximum protection from thefts and robbery.

The installation of floor safes are very complicated which also makes their installation costly. For installing a floor safe you have to cut out a piece of slab from the floor then you have to dig out a hole, then the safe is put into that hole and the remaining area is covered with concrete to give it rigidness, this will help from burglary as it would not be possible for burglars to take it away with them. So if floor safes are properly fixed then they can serve their purpose best and provide us with maximum benefit possible.

Is it safe to operate a tread mill on a wooden floor?

Hi there, I live in a country house in australia and the house and the flooring is about twenty years old. Wooden Mind you. The treadmill I’m purchasing is about 100 kg and I weigh close to that as well. Would it be safe to operate the treadmill on the floor under those condition. Would I be putting undue stress on the stability of the House?

As a builder, you can without any issues. If you can’t then your house is way to unsafe, LOL The big answer is YES without a doubt

Besides making sure you place some kind of mat under it to help protect the floor, but don’t use a carpet mat because over a short time the treadmill can wear into the carpet and damage the floor without you knowing until it’s to late.

At one time or another all of us who are concerned with home security and protecting our valuable items come across can safes. There’s all kinds of instructions online how to build one. Some are elaborate and some are quick and dirty.

In this article I’m going to discuss three things to keep in mind if your about to build or buy one.

• There a possibility the type of can you pick could be used by an intruder. Think about this, just because it’s a warm soda can doesn’t mean no one if going to pick it up and use it or take it with them. If it’s some kind of inviting food can, it may be picked up to use at a later date and then the secret stash place is discovered.
• Just how do you make the cut on the can? You may see some elaborate cutting tools used or one of kind openers that would be hard to locate. Also you want to keep in mind how to safely use metal cutting tools. So you first step is to make sure you can safely and neatly cut your secret hiding can safe.
• If you do make y our own, when you take the label off you have to be sure it can be reattached securely and still looks unused. If a can is going to be used often you may want to look at one of the commercial offerings on the market.

Hopefully you’re one of those people that enjoy building things and discovering how to do something as you go along. Already have the tools and maybe even better ways of improving on a design. To make it even look more natural.

Home Security Products- Safes

You might have installed various kinds of home security alarms and systems in your house. However, there is another important thing you may not have. This is a home security safe. Many homeowners have the idea that safes are items you will only find in mansions and large estates. This is simply not true and more and more homeowners are considering purchasing home security safes for their homes, regardless of how wealthy they are.

Do you have valuables at your home or business? While most people don’t keep a lot of cash in the house, they still have certain other valuable items that they wish to protect from burglars. The best way is to have a safe in which to store them.

Jewelry is one of the items that should always be kept in a secure location, and home security safes are perfect for that. There are also many other items that are not necessarily valuable but they have an intrinsic value for the owner. Computer media requires special protection to keep the temperature at a much lower level, because they are plastic based and melt at a much lower temperature than that at which paper starts to burn.

There are two basic types of security safe available:

1,Fire Resistant Safes- devised to protect valuable documents (wills, share certificates, deeds etc.) and computer data-storage media in case of fire.

2,Burglary Resistant Safes- The burglary resistant safes are intended to keep your valuables and cash protected in the event someone breaks into your home. Such safes come with different grades of protection.

How to choose a safe for your home and what type of safe you wish to purchase?

Make sure to think ahead and see what kind of items you wish to store and, very importantly, whether they will fit in your safe. It is very important to purchase a home security safe that is matched to the value it has to protect. Also consider the placement of the safe – will it be a standing location, a wall safe or an under-floor safe?

Work together with your insurance company and make sure all the valuable documents you own are placed in the safe. If you do have large sums of cash you might want to consider keeping them in the bank. However, for other items your home safe should be perfect. Keep records of the number and type of the items in your home for potential insurance claims.

You should also consider the different types of locking systems. Electronic locks are very secure but they are also more expensive. You can however go with a key lock or a combination lock. It’s essential to purchase a home security safe that matches your needs and protection level.

Insurance companies recognize the protection level of home security safes in most cases, but you should check with them first. The protection level of the safe is given by different elements, such as the strength of the walls and the door, the complexity and protection level of the locking mechanism and how hard it is to remove the safe from its location. As a rough guide the higher the cash rating of a safe the more secure it is.

Scaling The Proportion Of A Great Room’s Vaulted Ceiling

The idea of a great room is, well, great! Frequently, however, they can be difficult to organize and furnish. The problem is that there are usually too many entryways into the room, and the space is vacuous especially if it has a vaulted ceiling. So as you are considering how to decorate your great room, vaulted ceiling and all, here are some ideas that may help.

Fix the Proportion

Generally you will paint the ceiling in a room a light color to give it extra height. However, in the case of a vaulted ceiling, you will want to paint it a little bit darker to make it less noticeable. By using paint with a flat finish, you will also make the ceiling disappear because it will not be reflecting light back into the room.

Another way to bring the room down to human scale is to add drama to the wall at eye level. For example, you may want to use the ceiling color on the bottom half of the wall with a semi-gloss finish. This painting technique will relate the ceiling down to the wall and make the room feel more cohesive. You can minimize contrast between the wall and ceiling by sponging the ceiling color over the lighter wall color. This also gives you a lot of control over how light or dark the walls are.

Another technique that you can use to keep the eye from going on a trip to the ceiling is to hang art groupings at eye level. If you create all of the visual activity in the room at eye level or below and keep the ceiling space clear and quiet, it will not beckon the eye upwards.

Adding a chair rail and wainscoting add more activity and interest to the bottom portion of the wall, and by painting the chair rail in a contrasting color, you continue to keep the eye on the walls and not the ceiling.

Strong Horizontal Lines

In this room you are trying to minimize the appearance of the vertical space, so you also want to emphasize horizontal space. One way to do this is to use mirrors to expand the size of a room. By hanging oval mirrors and rectangular mirrors horizontally, you actually draw the eye around the room rather than up to the ceiling.

You want to do the same thing with artwork. If you are hanging a single piece of art you want it to be rectangular horizontally. If it is not, then you want to flank the artwork with two smaller pieces, so that the grouping creates a strong horizontal line in the room. While you want activity and interest on the wall from eye level and down, you do not want to clutter up your walls. Choose your artwork, mirrors and photographs carefully to enhance the style of the room.

Furniture should be in scale with the room, and if the great room is small, it can be challenge to draw attention away from tall ceilings. In this case, work toward directing attention to the lower portion of the room by selecting overstuffed furniture. However, in a smaller great room it’s important to choose light colored furniture: This will avoid a cluttered feeling while still attracting the eye to the gorgeous furniture and seating arrangement in the lower portion of the space.

Bring the Ceiling Down

Now that you have successfully divided the top and bottom of the room, it is time to purposefully tie them back together. You will want to incorporate at least one tall element into the room to relate the two halves to each other. Try incorporating a tall plant or a decorative screen to balance all of the horizontal elements in the room.

How do I run wire for an outlet down the inside of an exterior brick wall?

I would like to install an outlet in my living room. The wall where the outlet is needed is an exterior wall with brick on the outside. Also my ceiling in the living room is vaulted. Can I run the wire on the inside of the brick wall starting from the attic and pull the wire through the drywall to the interior and if so,how is this accomplished?
I may not have been very clear in the original question. I would like the wire to run down the inside of the wall between the drywall and brick. (If that is possible) Thanks for any help

use a fish wire.

First determine where you want the outlet. Then cut the hole in the drywall for the box. then carefully measure horizontally to a common reference point you can see both from the box and from the top of the wall. Measure over at the top of the wall and bore a hole in the wood at the top of the wall. then run your fish wire down and wiggle it until a helper can grab it and pull it through the box opening.

Sentry Safes Help Uphold The Right To Bear Arms

Sentry Safes is an all American company, started in New York during the Great Depression, and still operates out of the area of the country. Not just their corporate offices, but also all of their manufacturing. To the very core, Sentry Safes is an American company, and they support American values.

Their products help protect certain rights that are guaranteed through the US Constitution, primarily the right to bear arms. Regardless of whether we actually own a fire arm is not really the point, the point is that we have the right to if we desire one. There are many unfortunate accidents and purposeful crimes that occur with these firearms, and some people try to limit this Constitutionally given right because of these occurrences. But criminals will access guns regardless of limitations, limitations primarily stop honest people from owning guns.

Why is the “right of the people to keep and bear arms” so important? It is the first line of defense against usurpers within and without the country. True, today we have a standing, active military. There is no need for the militia. And the chances of an internal uprising that needs guns is practically nonexistent. But what is important is what the right to bear arms stands for: freedom and liberty. And removing that right is a first step to a government controlled state. As Thomas Jefferson said, “”No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms. The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bear arms is, as a last resort, to protect themselves against tyranny in government.” Or as George Mason said, “To disarm the people (is) the best and most effectual way to enslave them.”

The right to bear arms brings along with it great responsibility. That responsibility includes knowing how to use and handle the fire arm correctly, teaching our children correct safety procedures, and also keeping them safely out of the hands of young and irresponsible children. And the best way to do that is to use Sentry safes. If your gun is locked away, you do not have to worry about it falling into the wrong hands.

Now, we live in a rural community with many hunters. Seeing a gun rack in the back window of a truck is not unusual. My husband was saying recently that when he went to high school, he would see students with rifles in their truck’s gun racks. But not in today’s climate, and that is good. But these are kids who are raised from a very young age knowing how to properly handle a firearm and to respect them and what they can do. Truck gun racks lock, and when hunting season is over, rifles are kept locked up in Sentry safes or other secure locations.

Another group of people who have guns in their homes, and often on their persons, are law enforcement, federal agents, Homeland security, and military personnel. With any of these professions, they truly are protecting us, the average American citizen, and are people who we should honor and respect for their great service. They know, more than perhaps most, how important it is to keep their firearms secure. And it is these personnel, including firemen, that Sentry Safes want to recognize and show their appreciation to for their dedication and sacrifices. SentrySafe is currently offering a special discount, of 10% to 50% off, on select Sentry gun safes, security and fire-rated safes, chests, and files. What a wonderful way to honor those who serve our country and to show support for the importance of the Bill of Rights.

Let us all not forget the importance behind the right to bear arms, to take that right seriously and to protect ourselves and others against misuse by being responsible gun owners through securing our firearms in Sentry safes.

Does anyone know how a sentry 2600 safe combination works?

Hello. Just purchased a Sentry 2660 safe. It’s old. It’s locked. It didn’t come with the combination. Does anyone know if you turn to the left first or right? Is it a 3 number combination or 4? I’ve been trying to listen for when the tumblers fall. Hear clicks, but nothing major. It does stop at some numbers, but the combination’s always wrong. If you can, please help. Thanks

Not as easy as you might think ehhhh? {wink} Nahh. without a LOT of practice and training, your chances of opening this are just about zero. You will need to get a local locksmith for this, and even then, not all of them are going to be able to do it. The ones that do, generally put it as a part of their advertising in the yellow pages.
