Safes & Storage FAQ

Does my safe need to be bolted down?

Yes. According to South African regulations, any safe with a mass of less than 300kg must be securely bolted to a floor or wall (preferably both) using M10 x 80mm anchor bolts.

What is the difference between a Type B1 and a Type B2 safe?

A Type B1 safe is specifically intended for the storage of up to 4 handguns. A Type B2 safe is a larger unit designed for the storage of up to 10 firearms, including rifles and shotguns.

Are electronic locks as secure as key locks?

Absolutely. Many of our reliable safes feature high-grade electronic locks that provide rapid access while maintaining the strict security standards required for SABS approval.

How is a heavy safe delivered?

We provide secure nationwide delivery for our safes & storage units. Due to the weight and size of these items, delivery fees are calculated to ensure your unit arrives safely and discreetly at your location.

Can I use my Cashback for mounting hardware?

Yes! Every purchase earns you Cashback in your SA Provincial Service wallet, which can be redeemed for anchor bolts, internal lighting, or any other gear in our store.

How do I determine which fire rating I need for my safe?

Fire ratings are based on the duration a safe can withstand extreme heat while keeping the internal temperature below the point where paper or digital media is damaged. If you are storing sensitive documents, look for models with at least a 30 to 60-minute fire rating.

What is the difference between an electronic lock and a mechanical combination lock?

Electronic locks offer faster, more convenient access using a keypad, often with features like master codes and lockout periods. Mechanical combination locks are traditional, highly reliable, and require no batteries, making them preferred by those who want a completely analog security solution.

Should I bolt my safe to the floor or wall?

Yes. Regardless of a safe’s weight, bolting it to a solid concrete floor or a load-bearing wall is the single most effective way to prevent unauthorized removal. All our professional-grade safes come with pre-drilled holes for secure mounting.

Are your gun safes compliant with South African firearm storage regulations?

Our range includes models that meet the structural requirements for safe firearm storage as stipulated by the South African Police Service (SAPS). Please check the specific product description to ensure the safe meets the necessary wall thickness and locking requirements for your firearm license.
