<description><![CDATA[Coping during periods of lockdown, working from home and remote learning can leave families feeling a little overwhelmed and boredon easily sets in.

<content><![CDATA[Coping through periods of lockdown, working from home and remote learning can leave families feeling a little overwhelmed and boredom easily sets in. The cold weather now makes it harder to get outside and break away from devices. 

Did you know the average Australian home has approximately 20 connected devices! That can include smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, ipods, voice activated devices, home security &hellip;.. and this number is growing. It is forecast to reach 35.6 by 2024. It really seems outrageous!

Yes! It is highly likely that we are all spending too much time on devices during lockdown. However, we do need to give ourselves a bit of slack in these times of uncertainty. However, the biggest concern is children spending excessive time on devices when they should be resting at night. 

Locking away devices in a home safe at night is an ideal way to control the amount of time children and teenagers spend on devices. Allowing them to fully rest and recharge instead of being glued to their phones and being woken by pinging txt and messages throughout the night, or endlessly watching endless Netflix series.

By just placing devices in a common place in the home is not a realistic plan. I can speak for myself with sneaky teenagers in the house. Lock the devices away in a home safe and establish your household rules around device times.

Aus Safes is Australia&rsquo;s largest suppliers of quality residential safes. We have hundreds of home safes with cash and fire ratings. If you are going to invest in a home safe look at one that will offer a high level of protection against fire and attack and will be a lifetime investment. Don&rsquo;t trust inferior safes you can buy at a hardware store.

Home safe sales increase as worried Australians hoard cash at home during the COVID-19 pandemic rerports Chris Kohler from Nine News.

Jason Catlow, Director at Aus Lock &amp; Safe Company states that &ldquo;Home safe sales have increased 20%&rdquo; as a result from the COVID-19 pandemic. Jason says that the only time he has been busier was during the GFC.

The reserve bank has seen a spike in cash withdrawals since late March 2020 as anxious Australia&rsquo;s extract funds from their accounts.  

Professor Steve Worthington from Swinburne University suggests that the reason people may be taking money out of the bank is to apply for welfare benefits. To do this you must pass an assets test, therefore taking money out of the bank can reduce ones perceived value. 

Over 112,000 credit card accounts were closed in March 2020. Worthington states that this may be due to high credit card interest rates. There has also been an influx in young Australians turning to buy now, pay later such as Afterpay. 

Cash will remain as a leading means of currency.  Don&#39;t stash your cash under the mattress, protect your cash and valuables in a quality cash rated safe.

<content><![CDATA[Lock up your devices in a quality Home Safe

Did you know that the average Australian home has approximately 17 connected devices? That can include smartphones, tablets, smartwatches, TVs, ipods &hellip;.. and this number is growing. 

According to Ben Green from Schneider Electrics the number of connected devices in the home is going to rise to 37 per household as early as 2022. Voice activated devices and equipment will be amongst the growing factor as new technology continues to evolve our every day lives. 

As the amount of devices grows for each member of the household we need to ensure these costly items are protected and locked away safely. Within the average modern Australian family, it is likely that each member has 3-5 personal devices.

Locking away these expensive items in a quality residential safe is the best way to protect from theft. Not only break-ins, but with frequent visitors to a household whether it be service people or acquaintances it&rsquo;s a smart move to protect items from vulnerable situations. 

Another great benefit of a home safe is to store devices away from children and teenagers during restriction times. Most parents would totally agree here!

Aus Safes is Australia&rsquo;s largest suppliers of quality residential safes. Cash rated safes offer a higher level of protection against attack from the basic model you will see on the shelves at a hardware store. So, be mindful of the security level the safe will provide. 

Aus Safes only sell quality safes with trusted guarantees. When selecting your safe you need to take into  account what will be stored in the safe now and in the future. The Burg Wachter Combi-Line is a quality home safe that will provide a cash rating of $10,000.  For higher level of protection the Urban from Platinum Safes offers a $20,000 cash rating. 

The extended range of safes for sale at Aus Safes will provide hundreds of options from only trusted brands and manufacturers. They&rsquo;ll provide expert advice and can professionally install your safe. Call them today on 1800 15 16 15 or visit www.aussafes.com.au  to buy a home safe with confidence.

<content><![CDATA[Key Cabinets are ideal to safely store keys, fobs and cards in a commercial, fleet, office or industrial environment. Not only offering protection, but also keeping keys and other items organised. They are an important element to a security system to ensure keys are accessed by authorised personnel only. 

Before choosing the right Key Cabinet for your requirements, it is important to consider the below factors:


	Key capacity required
	Storing other items such as fobs and cards
	Who needs to access the key cabinet
	Size of keys and other items
	Single or bunches of keys stored
	What type of locking mechanism will best suit?
	Location and Installation
	Key organisation
	Do I require access control?
	Do I require audit trailing?


There are many business types where key cabinets serve as a critical part of their security system, such as fleet management, vehicle sales and rentals.  Large quantities of keys are stored, dispatched and returned. Systematic order is essential for the efficient movement of keys for management and employees.  

Industrial and commercial businesses with moving equipment such as forklifts and earth-movers require the safe storage of keys. Specialised key cabinets can be fitted with alcohol breathalysers to ensure the safety of employees and work safe practices.

Real estate agents, holiday and apartment complexes that encounter frequent movement and exchange of keys require spare key organisation. Key cabinets are an important security element for many types of businesses, large and small, with multiple locations such as schools, tourism facilities, councils and hospitals. 

Key cabinets vary in sizes with capacity starting from 25 keys to over 5,000 keys. 

If keys are stored in large bunches a key cabinet with a deep body cavity would be beneficial. If order and coordination is required coloured or numbered hooks would be a requirement. Other features to consider include; fixed or removable hooks and racks and internal swing leafs. 

The locking mechanism is an important factor to consider when choosing the right key cabinet. Locking options available


	Digital Lock 
	Combination lock
	Key Lock 
	Access Control
	Audit Trail

<content><![CDATA[Gone are the days of hiding your spare keys under a plant pot or doormat, as it&rsquo;s the first place an intruder will look. The ideal solution to secure spare keys safely for homes, property owners and small businesses is a key safe. These strong little key boxes are commonly fitted with either a push button combination lock or a rotating wheel combination lock. Both are easy to operate and are generally mounted on a secure outdoor fixture.

Key safes provide convenient solutions for many types of people and property owners. They offer great benefits for new market emerges such as Airbnb as holiday goers and tenants can  gain access to a property at anytime, day and night (no reception required). Service people such as cleaners and gardeners can gain temporary access to a property and combinations can be easily changed when required. 

Key safes are very convenient for school children to access keys without the need to carry them (and possibly lose them). They also provide peace of mind to access a home of an elderly.  

One of the best advantages is when you&rsquo;re accidently locked out. The dreaded feeling swipes over you until you remember your trusted key safe can let you in without any cause of drama. 

The advantages of a key safe is evident and most importantly they add another element to your home security.  Now you need to select the right key safe that best suits your needs. Firstly, determine how many keys and other items you need to store. Smaller key safes will store 1-5 keys while larger capacity key safes can store between 5-10 keys, fobs as well as cards. Take note of the internal dimensions to ensure it&rsquo;s the right size for your needs. 

When considering where to install your key safe ensure it is in discreet position away for general view. Wall mounted key safes must be fitted to a sturdy post or wall.  If subjected to weather conditions a weather resistant cover is important to protect the safe against the elements.  Key safes also are available in various model types such a padlock shackle and car door key safes. 

We have a large selection of key safes varying in sizes, functions and locking mechanisms. If you need assistance in choosing the right key safe for your property or business we&rsquo;d be happy to help.

<title><![CDATA[What are Safe Fire Ratings?]]></title>

<content><![CDATA[If you&rsquo;re looking to buy a fire resistant safe, you will find that safes have different fire ratings. These fire ratings indicate the degree of protection the safe or filing cabinet will provide its contents in the event of a fire. 

What some people don&rsquo;t realise is that safes are not fire proof. They are &lsquo;resistant&rsquo; against fire. Fire Resistant Safes are designed to protect papers from extreme heat within a specific time period. 

The insulation within the safe releases moisture when exposed to extreme heat which keeps the temperature below the level of paper ignition.

Fire safe ratings can be based on specific time periods the safe will withstand effect from a fire ie. 30mins, 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours and 4 hours.

Safes can be fire rated by Underwriter Laboratories or Industry Testing Authorities and may undergo a diverse range of testing methods such as; fire endurance, fire and impact, explosion hazard test and combined explosion and impact testing.

It is important to know that fire resistant safes generally have little theft resistance. So you would not store items such as cash in a fire resistant safe. There are however safes that provide both fire resistance and theft resistance. Aus Safes have a great range of high quality safes that provide both levels of protection.

<content><![CDATA[Keys tips when purchasing a Home Safe

Purchasing a safe for your home is a long term investment and you want to make sure you purchase the right safe that addresses all your needs. You may find yourself a bit confused by all the choices as you begin to research and shop around. Home safes come in many sizes, prices ranges and vary in the features and protection levels they provide.
The primary consideration is what type of items will be stored in your home safe? Valuable items such as jewellery, cash, ipods, laptops, cameras should be stored in a burglar resistant safe. While important paper documents, records, wills etc should be stored in a paper fire resistant safe. Or you may want a quality home safe that protects against both.

Another consideration when choosing your home safe is the level of protection you are looking for. The value of the property that you wish to secure in your home safe will determine the degree of protection you require. Good quality theft resistant safes are tested and rated by the amount of time an intruder takes to crack the safe open. These safes are given cash ratings. 

The size of your home safe and the contents you are going to store in the safe is an important factor.  It is recommended that you allow for extra capacity space for additional items and account for 50% more room to plan for future growth.

You must also consider the location of the safe. How much area size you have? Can the floor support the weight of the safe? Is the location discrete? If the safe needs to be moved up and down stairs ensure they are strong enough to support the weight.  

Purchasing a home safe is a long term investment so ensure you choose the right safe that will meet your needs for many years to come. Be mindful of inferior quality safes that do not have fire protection ratings or cash ratings and therefore offer a lower level of protection for your valuables.

Aus Safes are professional safe technicians and accredited safe suppliers and can provide expert advice when purchasing your home safe. We offer a wide range of quality home safes that are both theft resistant offering cash ratings as well as fire resistant safes that come with fire ratings.
