Secure Your Valued Items with an Industry-leading Burglary Safe by INKAS®
What is a Burglary Safe?
Burglars can be relentless when trying to break open a safe. With the use of power tools, cutting torches, chemicals, explosives, and other standard hand tools, a burglar can gain access to a low-quality safety box in minutes. A burglary safe is constructed with steel and composite materials that can withstand prolonged attacks or forcible entries. At INKAS® Safes, our burglary safes receive rigorous laboratory testing that mimics these scenarios to ensure your valuable possessions are protected.What is a Burglar Safe Rating?
A safe with a burglary rating has undergone extensive testing to meet the industry standard set by Underwriter Laboratories (UL). Each safe is examined on multiple factors, including the materials of which a safe is constructed, the type of locking mechanism, and other security features. Once thoroughly reviewed, a safe receives a rating that determines the amount of time a safe can withstand a burglary attack and the types of tools used. A burglary rating will consist of a tool resistance level (TL), followed by a numeric value representing the max time a safe can withstand an attack. For example, a TL-30 rated safe should open in under 30 minutes with a basic toolset.How to Choose the Right Security Level for Your Home Safe?
Having a safe installed in your home is a great step towards protecting your valuable items. But understanding what safe security features meet your needs can become overwhelming. Every safe at INKAS® Safes can be categorized as levels 1-5, helping you find your exact match.- Level 1: has a UL-certified lock that can withstand attacks that use basic tools. These safes are constructed with a ballistic steel plate, but have the thinnest wall and door thickness. Ideal for storing items of low value or small amounts of cash.
- Level 2: has the same features as level 1, but it can now withstand attacks that use power tools due to increased wall and door thickness.
- Level 3: at this level, every safe will have obtained a UL certificate for its entirety. The walls and door are constructed with a ballistic steel plate and fully composite material giving it a rating of TL-15.
- Level 4: this is ideal for a homeowner looking for the same increased-security features as level 3, but is looking for a safe that can resist a burglary attempt for up to 30 minutes. A common choice among gun safe owners.
- Level 5: composed of industry-leading materials on all 6 sides of the safe. A level5 security safe provides twice the amount of protection of a level 4, while defending against attacks from any direction for 30 minutes.
