When you see a product being advertised as a lockbox (or strongbox, security box, etc.) you assume it offers a high degree of protection. But don't make the mistake of thinking they are all about the same and purchase based on price alone. Missing just one important feature could be costly.
You want to be a "smart shopper" when you invest in protection for your valuables. When you consider items taken during a burglary are not recovered approximately 80 percent of the time, it only makes sense to make the right choice when selecting a lockbox (or strongbox) to safeguard the items you want to protect.
First, what are the items you want
to protect? Your list may include valuables such as cash,
jewelry,
gold/silver
coins, hand
guns, cameras,
watches,
or maybe even controlled substances (medicines
and drugs). This will
help determine what size of security box you need or if you need
more than one.
Next, do a quick estimate of the total value of the items in your list. WHY? To help you determine how "strong" your lockbox should be and what would be a reasonable amount to spend to protect these valuables.
When it comes to any type of security box, you truely get what you pay for. Trying to protect valuables worth a few thousand dollars (or more) with an inexpensive, low-quality box could be dangerous to the valuables you are trying to protect.
Do your valuables deserve a "High Security" Lockbox?
You may have been surprised at how quickly the value of the assets you want to protect added up. If the protection level you need is "strong", you will find this list of questions useful for 1) shopping for the "right" lockbox for your needs, or 2) deciding if your current security box is good enough.
If you are serious about protecting your valuables, investing in the "right" kind of security box, whether it be a lockbox or strong box or cash box, is one of the smartest investments you can make.
For your convenience, I have included a sampling of lockboxes/security boxes available on Amazon. You might be able to find just what you need for securing your valuables. Be aware I receive a small compensation if you buy one or more boxes through this site which does not result in you paying more. Click on the "Go" button for a larger selection.
