Questions
What does a safe's 'cash rating' mean?
A cash rating indicates the maximum amount a safe can protect against burglary. Our Safe Rating System helps choose appropriate protection levels.
Can I store digital media in a fire safe?
Yes, but only in data-specific fire safes maintaining internal temperatures below 50°C. Regular fire safes protect paper at 170°C.
Are safes completely fire or theft-proof?
No safe is 100% proof. All safes have resistance levels determined by testing against various attack methods and fire exposure.
What warranty applies to CMI safes?
CMI safes include a 5-year product warranty and 2-year lock warranty when purchased through United Safes.
How heavy are typical safes?
Safe weights range from 30kg for small units to over 2,000kg for commercial vaults. We recommend professional installation for safes over 100kg.
Do you offer safe delivery and installation?
Yes, we provide free delivery in metropolitan Melbourne for safes under 65kg. Professional installation recommended for heavier units.
