Anti hold up safe is used all over the world to protect businesses’ cash and safety. Theft from retail business in Australia is now a major factor in almost all criminal matters brought before Magistrate Courts with an estimated cost to the retail sector of $3 billion during a financial year. With thefts becoming more bold as often these thieves are stealing to raise money to support drug habits, as a high percentage of thefts are by people with dependency issues desperate to steal money to support their drug habit. Anti hold up safes are a proven effective way to warn would-be-robbers that your cash is protected by an anti holdup safe. The warning stickers are affixed to the front door and windows or other locations and this instantly warns the robber even before entering your premises that an anti hold up safe system is installed. There is no better time to invest in this type of cash management than before you or your staff become a victim of robbery. Anti hold up safes will provide the following benefits to you and your business. (Please remember there is a difference between a time lock and a time delay lock).
When a safe has a time lock installed, it allows you to set access to the safe within or out of working hours. There is a difference between a time-lock safe and a time-delay lock safe such as both time locks and time delay safe locks control the opening of the safe but the difference between the two is a time-lock safe specifies a time period during which the lock cannot be opened (usually overnight) even if you have the correct pin code. This is usually programmed in to prevent an authorised person from being forced to open the safe out of hours.
A time-delay safe lock delays the opening of the safe after you have entered the correct code , for example you need to wait for a specific time period before the safe will open. This is usually programmed in to prevent an authorised person from being forced to open the safe out of hours.
A time delay safe lock delays the opening of the safe after you have entered the correct code, for example you need to wait for a specific time period before the safe will open. This is generally used to prevent a robbery as staff cannot be forced to open the safe immediately so make sure you choose the right anti hold up safe for your business needs.
The main objective of any high security safe is to safeguard its contents, yet it be cash or valuables. So as well as the time delay safe having the correct anti hold up function, it is imperative that the safe be a high quality burglary resistant safe that has been designed and engineered to incorporate a high level of anti-attack security features to protect your valuables. A high quality deposit safe with a time delay lock on it can be another option used as a cash management safe. It will give you all the functions that a time delay or time lock safe provides us, with the extra advantage of allowing your staff to simply skim your tills and deposit the cash in the external deposit drawer and chute where it drops into a inner locked compartment. This allows deposits to be made without opening the safe and when the safe is opened it brings the accountable to limited staff authorises to open the deposit safe.
