Safe Buying Guide

If you are uncertain what model would fit your needs, below is some information about choosing a safe for your home or business. If you would like more information on these units or our other safes please email us or call (619) 450-6680 for a free consultation with one of our professional technicians.

About Our Safes

We sell both first- (new) and second-hand (used) safes. All second-hand safes are open and cleaned. Our safes have been inspected by a SAVTA Certified Professional SafeTech (CPS) and are stored at a secure indoor location. Upon purchase will set the combination to your specification. Services such as installation, bolt-down, and modification are also available; please call for a estimate

Choosing Safe Sizes

When choosing a safe the first question is obviously one of capacity. If you have a clear idea of what you would like to store inside, measure how much space the items need and plan to purchase a model at least 25% larger. This ensures everything in the safe will be easy to access and ensures that overlooked items will fit in the safe later. It is important to buy a safe large enough to fit everything you need to secure for years to come so many professionals recommend you choose a model nearly 50% larger if your space permits. You also may need features such as adjustable shelves or locking internal compartments. Once you know the ideal capacity you can determine dimensions and choose the location of the safe. This is largely dependent the space available to you and how often you need to access the items inside but it is important to check that the safe fits through all doors and that the floor is strong enough to support the unit.

There are two key ratings that must be considered when choosing a safe: the unit’s resistance to fire and defense against burglary.

About Fire Ratings

Fire resistance is rated by how long the contents within the safe can be kept at an acceptable temperature during a fire. This is a critical factor when choosing a safe for storing important information. Generally this temperature is 350°F but there are also models rated lower for the storage of sensitive media such as floppy discs.

About Burglary Ratings

Safes resistant to burglary are often assigned letter-grades for insurance purposes. A “B” rate safe has at least ¼” walls and a ½” door but is not tested. A “C” rate safe has at least ½” walls and 1″ doors. An “ER” rate safe has been tested to the TL-15 rating explained below while a “E” rate safe is an otherwise similar unit that has not undergone testing. Likewise an “F” rate safe is comparable to a TL-30.

Burglary resistance test ratings are based on how long an experienced safecracker familiar with the safe and possessing the appropriate tools would take to open the safe. This is commonly expressed in the UL ratings such as TL-15 and TL-30 denoting respective resistances of 15 and 30 minutes. There are also RSC (Residential Security Containers) for home use that are rated TL-5. Finally there are also specialty models with higher ratings such as TRTL-30/60 and TRXL-60 that are resistant to torches and explosions respectively. Higher ratings add cost and weight to the unit. If you are uncertain of what qualities you need for your situation, our trained technicians can recommend a safe to fit your needs.

I recently had an outstanding experience with John's Lock & Safe Service, beginning with the exceptional sales representative, Jessica Cross, who was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and friendly. The customer service was top-notch, with quick, professional responses and a clear dedication to client satisfaction. John, the owner and primary technician, was punctual, meticulous, and highly professional, demonstrating genuine care and commitment to excellence. His honesty and trustworthiness were evident, and he worked around my busy schedule, offering competitive and transparent pricing. Overall, John's Lock & Safe Service exceeded my expectations, providing an unparalleled level of service, and I highly recommend them for any lock and safe needs.

Nancy Malk

John spent quite a bit of time, over the phone, instructing me on how to remove the batteries. After purchasing new batteries, I called him again, and he walked me through the entire process!! He spent roughly an hour with me on the phone, and would only accept a "thank you" for his time! I can't believe there are still people like John in the world. What a joy it was to find him!!

Brent Howell

Called John because I had a large safe that would NOT open. John had me send him a pic of the safe and he was able to get the safe open over the phone! I’m offered him $$ and he wouldn’t even take it. Outstanding service, I cannot recommend John enough! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!

Danny D

John and his team are amazing, I brough in some digital mobile safes that the batteries had died in, and had lost the keys to! Worst possible scenario- however John worked his magic and was not only able to get into the safes, he was able to repair some broken aspects of them as well. On top of the quality of service, John is, himself, a great guy to interact with. Not many business owners like him around any more. Highly, highly recommended.

John was incredible. My biometric floor safe would not open. After spending close to an hour speaking with the manufacturer of my floor safe I finally gave up. I left a message for John who immediately called me back. John had me take a few pictures of the safe and then proceeded to trouble shoot the problem with me OVER THE PHONE. End result - John solved this issue in a mere 10 minute phone call. No joke. And this was just based off being provided a few simple pictures via texts. I was blown away. Especially when the manufacturer of the safe's final assistance was to provide me with and I mean they literally sent me an email with instructions on how to "cut into" the safe using a grinding saw with a 7" wheel. I can't not thank John enough, nor can I speak more highly of him, his service, professionalism, KNOWLEDGE - you can not nor will you go wrong by making John your first call!

chris allsburg

John was amazing. He came to fix our safe that wasn't working - the lock seemed to be stuck. He found a simple solution. He solved it quickly and barely even charged me the price for a lunch at mcdonalds. Plus, he was kind, informative, and a pleasure to talk to. Big, Big, Big thumbs up. Thank you.

Ben Hanvey

What a great guy. He walked me through opening my floor safe on the phone in two minutes flat. If you have safe problems he is the guy to call. I tried to pay him for his time but he refused. Old style service for sure.

sheila goldfarb

Thank you John For your wonderful attitude, professional service and exceptional kindness. I lost My keys.
And you put me in touch with the company that was able to make the special keys rather than destroying my product. I would give you 1 million stars. You are awesome

John is the go to guy if you are having problems with your gun safe.
