3. What type of metal vault safe is best to buy in Nepal ?

The best type of metal safe vault to buy depends on your specific needs, such as what you want to store, the level of security required, and your budget. Here are some key considerations and options:

1. Material

• Steel: The best option for durability and security. Look for safes made of thick steel (at least 12-gauge for personal use and thicker for higher security).
• Alloy Reinforced Safes: Combine steel with other materials for added strength and fire resistance.

2. Locking Mechanism

• Key Locks: Simple and cost-effective but less secure.
• Combination Locks: Reliable and don't rely on power but can be slower to access.

3. Fire Resistance

• Look for UL-rated fireproof safes. For example:
  • UL 72 Class 350: Protects paper documents up to 1-2 hours in high heat.
  • Class 125 or 150: Suitable for protecting electronic devices.

4. Size and Weight

• Choose a size that fits your storage needs (jewelry, documents, electronics, firearms, etc.).
• Heavy safes (over 100 kg) are harder to steal but may require professional installation.

5. Burglary Rating

• Residential Security Container (RSC): Suitable for home use.
• B-Rated Safes: Offer moderate burglary protection with ¼" steel walls and ½" thick doors.
• C-Rated Safes: Stronger, with ½" steel walls and 1" thick doors.
• TL-15 or TL-30: High-security safes that resist attacks with tools for 15 or 30 minutes.

6. Mounting and Placement

• Wall or floor-mounted safes add extra security against theft.
• Hidden safes (e.g., underfloor safes) can be good for high-value items.

8. Recommended Brands

• Tiger Safe: Affordable and fire-resistant options.
