Well, that’s not strictly true because a strong box is more likely to be used for petty cash rather than thousands of pounds. Also, a strong box, while being strong enough to withstand some abuse it can still be removed from the premises and its contents removed at a later time. However, without some serious lifting equipment it is very doubtful that anyone could get away with lifting a secure floor safe and not losing a few toes into the bargain. Safes are designed to be too heavy to move by hand and therefore they are usually delivered to their resting spot by proper lifting devices that place it where it will stay. Some safes are even bolted to the floor from within the safe to add that extra little bit of security.
Since the days of the Old Wild West, the safe has long been a source of fascination and the focal point of many a cowboy movie. In more recent movie history the safe has played big parts in train robberies movies, Brinks Matt movies and other crime movies where a safe gets cracked, blown up and stolen all in the name of a good plot.
Styles and Types of Safe Safes
Safes have always been made to be heavy and immovable, once in situ. The whole premise behind a safe is to protect valuable and important items such as jewellery, money, papers, wills, bonds and stock certificates and anything of value to the owner. Safes take on different names according to their size and purpose. For instance, a strong box is not quite a safe because of its portability. A safe is safe because it’s on a floor, impossible to move and cannot be opened without a special key. However, a large safe, say a safe the size of a room or larger is usually referred as a vault, not a safe.
Other types of safes in Rugby, for instance, can be set into walls, floors and ceilings if needed and they can hold the same kinds of item as floor safes. Of course, as well, there are also other designs of safe whereby they are heavily disguised as an everyday object that could be plug socket, a light switch, a wall clock or a book.
