Brief Overview of the cash rating on Phoenix safes

there are many types of safes available to purchase from Phoenix safes, Burton safes, document and data fire safes, deposits and other security safes. Phoenix safes is one of the major manufacturers and distributors of fire and data protection safes as they are fire proof and prevent burglary. Phoenix safes are designed to hold various amounts of cash and documents depending on the model and size selected and additional features can be included and customised to suit your home or business needs. Phoenix safes can have various internal fittings such as extra shelves and sections so you can organise the documents, data storage, cash or valuables stored and locked away inside for safe keeping. Most fire resistant Phoenix safes allows you extra time around 30 minutes giving you a better chance of retrieving your valuable documents if a fire breaks out at home or in the office that can either by locked or unlocked by keypad or with a key or even finger print recognition. Phoenix safes that are designed to hold and secure cash is rated by the cash rating therefore a higher rating means a more secure safe. Insurance companies will use the cash rating to indicate the level of cover required to insure cash left overnight. For example a cash rating of £1500 on the Phoenix safes specification gives insurance companies a guideline that they will cover up to £1500 cash left overnight in the safe. Safes that have a cash rating of over £4000 would have been subjected to extensive safety checks and certified by a governing body and noted on the product description. The larger and heavier the Phoenix safes doesn’t necessarily correlate with a higher cash rating and relates to safes in a certain range, i.e. all sizes in Grade 1 range safes will all have a cash rating of £10,000. Additional security features on the Phoenix safes such as extra layers of locking options will not affect the cash rating. As a general rule, the level of valuables protected in the Phoenix safes is 10 times the cash rating.
