Installing a safe in your home can protect irreplaceable documents and valuables. But where’s the best place to put this security device? A-Tri-County Lock offers advice on where to install a safe in your home for maximum security. They provide reliable locksmith services, such as key copying, door lock repairs, and car lockout service around Akron, Canton, and Cleveland, OH. 

Here are three factors to consider when deciding on the perfect location for your safe:

• Visibility: If your safe is readily visible, it can easily be susceptible to theft and tampering. Conceal your safe in an unlikely area with limited visibility, such as a closet in a guest bedroom, basement, or cabinet, to reduce the risk of theft. 
• Disaster Risk: No safe is completely protected from disasters like fire and flood, so choose a location that reduces the risk of damage should these events occur. Safes installed on the first floor in the corner of two exterior walls will be best protected from a blaze. Prevent water damage from floods by installing your safe as high above the ground as possible.  
• Accessibility: Even though you want to conceal and protect your safe, you’ll still want adequate access to it for your day-to-day needs. Place your safe in a fairly accessible area where you can easily reach it to add and remove items as needed.
