Safes vs Lock Boxes: What’s the Difference?

Both safes and lock boxes are designed to protect your valuables—but they serve different purposes. Safes offer heavy-duty protection, often with fire-resistant materials and secure digital or biometric locks. They’re ideal for storing cash, documents, jewellery, and other irreplaceable items. Lock boxes, on the other hand, are compact and portable—perfect for storing keys, medications, or small electronics. Whether you need peace of mind at home or security on the go, there’s a smart storage solution to suit your needs.

• • Security features: If you need peace of mind, consider safes with tamper alerts, fire protection, or digital keypad access.If you need peace of mind, consider safes with tamper alerts, fire protection, or digital keypad access.
