We will be happy to provide you with any information you may need.

• What is the primary purpose of your safe? Burglary, Fire, or both? Make sure that you match your needs with the correct construction, and labels to meet those requirements.
• Understand the size that you need. Make sure you leave enough room for growth. Home use as well as office use tends to increase over time. Leave room for expansion of your safe needs.
• Where will the safe be located? How much space will you need? Will the safe be accessible on a regular basis? A safe has no value if you don’t use it. Make sure that you have good access and the safe is convenient to use.
• What type of locking mechanism do you need? Both mechanical as well as electronic locks will work. Will you need to program a new combination on a regular basis? Do you need time delay, audit trail, or multiple users?
• Do you need a custom size or special interior? We can customize your safe to your specific needs.
• Who will install the safe? 
• Always bolt-down and secure your safe. We recommend a bolt-down kit with every safe. Most Gardall safes come with hardware included.
