Why Should You Trust a Local Locksmith for Your Safe Instead of an Online Retailer?

The Amazons of the world have brought countless conveniences to the average American family. You can get virtually any consumer good you’d ever want delivered to your front door relatively quickly and cheaply. Big box stores have brought similar conveniences to everyday life – no matter what you need, it can likely be found at the nearest superstore.
There are some significant downsides to relying solely on Walmart and Amazon for all your purchasing needs though – most importantly a lack of specialization and reliability.
Do It Yourself Security vs. Professional Security
Anyone can order home security or doorbell cameras online and install the equipment themselves, but do these systems work? Many of them perform the basic function they promise, albeit with relatively low quality. Are they optimized for professional performance, come with guarantees and warranties or deliver specialized monitoring? Probably not.
Like with many things in life, if you want something done right it’s often best left to a professional. A flimsy DIY security solution may be the cheaper option, but the price point comes with its own cost – less longevity, durability and reliability.
There are all kinds of safes you can buy on Amazon or at your local Walmart superstore, but convenience and affordability often come at the cost of reliability and effectiveness. This is especially true when it comes to something like safes, where placement and installation are paramount to the security it’s intended to provide.
Even relatively large safes can be easily rocked onto a dolly and stolen away by burglars. Your safe is only as effective as its anchoring, and anchoring isn’t as easy as you may realize. There’s an art to safe placement and there are a lot of dangers you need to avoid.
Hitting a tension cable in a concrete floor can have explosively destructive repercussions and has the potential to result in serious injury. There’s also the risk of hitting pipes or other utilities if you aren’t sure what’s hiding in your slab.
You can try securing a safe to floor joists but it’s important to know structurally where best to install the safe and understand the load bearing strength of your floor. The potential for significant property damage is high with DIY safe installation. In many cases it will be more affordable in the long run to hire a professional to do it right the first time without causing any damage to your property.
Is FREE Shipping Really Free?
Shipping a safe can be dangerous, time consuming and costly from a labor and fuel standpoint. Many safes on Amazon may be advertised as having “Free Shipping”, but the truth is there’s a markup built into the safe’s price to offset the “free” shipping cost for the retailer.
Even if you buy a safe yourself at a big box store, you will still have to deal with the hassle of loading it into your vehicle and lugging it into your house, which can be a dangerous process.
When you purchase your safe from a locksmith and have them install it professionally, you can rest assured they’re going to get it into your home without damaging anything and you certainly won’t be injured during the process.
Enjoy Peace of Mind Knowing You Made a Sound Safe Investment
You’re purchasing a safe to protect the things in your life that are most important. If you’re buying a gun safe you are doing so to protect your family and the community. If you need a safe for documents, family photo albums or jewelry you’re protecting your financial security, memories and treasured family heirlooms. Safes are important tools, and when you buy one it’s important that it’s going to perform its job well.
