JSH EN100 heavy safe. Product shown for illustration; specifications vary by model.

Safes are used in homes, banks, hotels and businesses to store valuables and, in suitable dedicated models, firearms or controlled substances. Their size, construction and locking systems vary according to the intended use.

Heavy safes often combine substantial construction with larger capacity. The materials and locking arrangement should be considered alongside the weight.

What to check before buying

Delivery and installation require planning. Confirm how the safe will reach its final position, whether the floor can support it and how it will be anchored. Ask whether these services are included in the quotation.

Assessing the supplier

Ongoing service matters because a lock or electronic component may eventually need attention. Ask about technician availability, replacement components, user training and fault support.

If selecting an electronic lock, confirm its functions and backup arrangements. Product quality, delivery and an explanation of correct operation should all form part of the purchase discussion.

JSH develops, manufactures and supplies safes in Israel and internationally. With 45 years of experience, the company serves customers including government organisations, embassies and hotels, and offers support for selection and installation.
