Identity is one of the most important things you have, if a thief can get hold of your personal documents they can effectively access everything you are and own. By locking your documents and information in a secure place away from prying eyes you can dramatically lower the chance of someone gaining access to your life and assets.
There are many different places that your documents can be put away but where better than a safe? There are a variety of different safes on the market at different prices all with different advantages and disadvantages.
Safes will have either, if not both, Burglary resistant and Fire resistant features so depending on what is needed from the safe in question determines the type of safe which is best for the job at hand.

Eurograde safes are the common idea of a safe, being a reinforced metal box, whilst fire and burglary resistant the space offered is very limited compared to that of a cupboard or filing cabinet but are offered in either a digital electrical lock or a key lock which would improve the safe's security.
Data Safes and Computer security are very effective again in an office or business environment as they offer protection and security if confidential and private documents are housed on data utilities or computer hard drives as they offer specialised housing and security for anything from hard drives to floppy disks with a variety of sizes depending on the amounts of documents needed to keep safe
Deposit safes are usually small safes which are easily concealed and difficult to access without a key. They commonly hold document files in the larger models or money in the smaller models.
When you start to think about the stress, time and money involved with replacing the documents we can't be without, and the heartache of losing the things we can't replace, you start to realise that a one off investment of a few hundred pounds for somewhere safe to store them is not all that much after all.
