Capacity
The volume of the interior space of the safe. Usually this parameter is indicated taking into account the safe-in-safe and other additional internal compartments. The amount of content that can be placed inside directly depends on the volume; on the other hand, it affects the external dimensions and weight of the storage.
Number of locking bolts
The number of locking bolts provided in the design of a standard safe lock.
The locking bolt is a working element of the lock, which responds directly to the locking. It is a rod, disk, or other element (usually metal) that fits into a slot in the fixed part of the safe, blocking the opening of the door. The more such elements a safe has, the more reliable the lock and the lower the probability of opening the door by “brute force”.
This parameter in our catalog is indicated for one lock, regardless of their number in a safe. Most often, all safe locks have the same number of bolts.
Now on the market there are locks with the following number of locking bolts:
2,
3,
4,
5,
6 and
more.
Body walls thickness
The thickness of the metal sheet used to make the sides and back of the safe body. Do not confuse this parameter with the total body thickness (see above), these values may not match. For example, if the safe has a filler layer between two sheets of metal (which is typical for fireproof models, see “Product Type”), then the total thickness will correspond to the total thickness of all materials, and the wall thickness will correspond to the dimensions of one of the metal sheets. Since that metal plays the main role in burglary protection (fillers have a different purpose), the reliability of the safe largely depends on the thickness of the walls.
Weight
The total weight of the empty safe. Unlike many other products, for safes, heavy weight is usually more of an advantage than a disadvantage: the heavier the safe, the more difficult it is to steal it entirely for later opening in a safe place. The only exceptions are portable and automotive models (see "Product Type") — in their case, theft prevention is ensured primarily by fastening, and in the first case, the product, by definition, must be suitable for carrying in hands.
