Why Do I Need A Safe?

Posted June 24th, 2011 | No Comments

“I’ve Got Nothing To Put In A Safe!”

 


 


I hear that so often and have to remind people of the consequences of the loss of so many familiar items, passport, wallet, driving license, bank books, just a few of the things that could lead to misery, or at least severe inconvenience if they were to fall into the wrong hands.


It was really heartening earlier this week to be able to work with a local ‘Elderly People’s Home’ to source a quantity of low cost but secure safes for each of their thirty residents. This represents a recognition of the right to privacy of the residents as well as a duty of care to the staff who may wrongly fall under the finger of suspicion if something were to go missing from a residents room or area.

These days safes can be purchased for very reasonable prices and used for so many different things. Parents sending children off to university after the summer might want to think about the provision of a low cost safe, which could be bolted to the floor or wall in student accommodation and provide a really effective facility to keep valuables safe from light fingered ‘acquaintances’ in what can be a hectic and sometimes chaotic lifestyle, led by students.

Elderly or vulnerable people who have careres in their homes on a regular basis are also at risk from theft or the perception of theft, in that if an item of value, money, jewelry or the like goes missing, there is often an assumption that theft has occurred, even though it may just have been temporarily misplaced. In these circumstances the ill feeling that develops can often destroy a relationship which otherwise was good.

Providing the facility to lock items away in a dedicated safe, which should be firmly bolted to the floor or wall provides peace of mind to the owner and removes temptation from anyone who may be weak willed when faced with a tempting opportunity!

21st Birthday Celebrations

Posted April 5th, 2010 | No Comments

Customers, Friends and Colleagues

We would like to say a great big thank you to all those who came and supported us for our 21st birthday celebrations on Thursday 1st April, no it wasn’t an April fool and we did indeed give away free safes, a 3 course meal for two at the Metro Fish Bar and a whole host of other prizes. We were grateful to the Deputy Mayor who came along and said a few complimentary words and Radio Rossendale for proving some great sounds.

For those who didn’t manage to come along on the day we will be continuing our celebrations for the first 21 days of April, with all customers receiving a free gift from the ‘Lucky Dip’ bran tub! Gifts include Safes, Alarms, Free Labour and many novelty items.

As a side issue, we believe we may have upset a few people (not many but even only one would be too many!) Our email campaigns are designed to be informative, fun and providing added value to the reader. Some are selling product on special offer while others just want to share some good news or valuable information. We believe that by using email, we are able to reach people without interrupting their working day and these can be read (or deleted) at the reader’s convenience. However there has been an oversight and we have omitted to include an ‘opt out’ facility. Let me assure you, this was an oversight and never intended as a ‘back door’ way of forcing people to receive unwanted mail.

In today’s climate, like all businesses, we are simply trying to reach as many people as possible in the most cost effective way. We accept that a large percentage of what you receive may, at the time, not be relevant however we hope that the content will give you a flavour of what Authorized Access is about, its values and customer service ethos and come the time you or your business requires security then you will bear us in mind.

From here on in you will see a caption on all our e-mails with instructions on how to unsubscribe to our mailing lists. We hope you won’t but understand if you do.

Here’s looking forward to the next 21 years.

Who Needs A Safe?

Who needs a safe?

 

Who needs a safe? You may ask.

‘I don’t have anything to put in a safe!’ Is a mantra I often hear when talking to home owners. Are they right? Let’s think about it…

What could I possibly have that needs to be kept in a safe? Well, maybe nothing that NEEDS to be kept in a safe, things only NEED to be kept in a safe if it is a requirement of our insurance policy. However, if you were unfortunate enough to become the victim of a break-in at home and 2008/9 crime figures* suggest that domestic burglaries are up 1% on the previous year, what might it cost you to recover, in monetary and emotional terms?

*Home Office British Crime Survey 2008/9

What do thieves target and what could be the cost to you?

Jewellery, it’s often not the value to replace but the sentimental value that’s priceless. The wedding ring left by your Grandmother, may cost very little to replace through your insurance but how do you cover it’s sentimental value and your emotional loss?

Cash, how do you prove the amount taken and can you be sure your insurance company will pay out? Cash is great for the opportunist thief and they know all your hiding places. The cost may only be measurable in terms of stress, when it’s gone it’s gone!

Passports, are replaceable but at a cost to you, as much as £112 per passport, plus the worry of identity theft.

These items are only some of the things thieves may target and the cost is already mounting, both in real terms and emotional cost.

Unfortunately you can’t guarantee that you won’t be burgled but should the unthinkable happen the use of a good home safe will protect those costly and irreplaceable items, saving you money, stress and much heartache.
