A sense of safety and security can do so much for someone. It brings peace of mind, confidence, and protection; it eliminates worry and fear; and in some cases, it allows for growth. Everyone wants to feel safe, that includes wanting to protect the things that matter—heirlooms, photos, important documents. And each of us, especially businesses, deserves that capability—protecting ourselves and our precious valuables from harm or loss. Larry’s Lock, Safe & Security Center has a longstanding tradition of keeping the commercial industry—and their valuables—secure. As Cincinnati's best locksmith, the professionals at Larry’s have over 250 years combined experience in the safety and security business.

Whether you’re a business, a family, or just one person, you should be invested in the protection of all your valuable possessions. The best way to do this is the use of a vault or safe to lock away and protect the things that matter most. So what should you keep in your safe?

Here’s a few things the professional locksmiths suggest you keep locked securely away in your vault or safe:

• Identification documents for everyone. This includes social security cards, birth certificates, licenses and state IDs, and passports. These are always necessary to keep safe and secure, because they are part of your identity.

• Wills, insurance policies, powers of attorney, and other financial-related documents. This includes a list of names and numbers to attorneys, insurance agents, etc. If emergency or disaster strikes, you’ll want to feel assured that these important documents are protected.
• Medical information for everyone. Items such as medical ID cards, donor cards, medical insurance policies, blood type information, a list of medications for each person, and important phone numbers for doctors and pharmacies should be locked away safely to prevent loss and destruction.
• Financial and investment documents. Aside from other legal documentation, financial information such as bank information, stocks and bonds, investment documents, and any other financial holdings or assets are important. If an emergency does occur, you’ll have easier access to your funds.
• Copies of keys to important locks, like safety deposit boxes, as well as keys for cars, homes, and businesses. Making copies of all keys can help not only if disaster strikes but also if you lose copies of important keys and need quick access to something.
• External drives of important photos, documents, and videos. It’s good to make digital copies of all your precious memories, as they hold sentimental value and are part of your history. That's why you want to ensure they are kept safe from harm or loss.

If you’re in need of a fire-resistant safe or vault for your home or business, Larry’s can furnish you with the best and safest options. They also offer electronic security, such as surveillance systems, if you want additional safety measures in place.
