Those new models are the MF30E, MF35E, MF50E, MF53E, MF60E, MF70E and MF75E. Each model has the same features and offers the same protection. Some of those features include a 1-Hour fire rating, steel door enclosed with fire-resistant material, battery-operated electronic lock and an emergency key system used to bypass the electronic keypad in case you lose your code or if your batteries die.

In addition to the MF series high security and simple design, these safes are very affordable and inexpensive. You won’t find a better deal than MESA’s MF Series that features at least a 1-hour fire protection, steel construction and solid steel bolts to prevent theft, at this price range. These safes are ideal for any homeowner wanting to secure and store their valuables such as classified documents, family photos, passports, cash, jewelry and other sensitive materials. The MF Series Fire Safes are also great for those who live in areas where homes are in potential danger of fires, especially during the summer season.

Like with any other safe, MF series has kept burglary and theft in mind. Each safe includes solid steel live locking bolts for added security. It even has two dead bolts that will prevent door removal if the hinges are removed during forced entry. The safe doesn’t just count on a combination lock to ensure safety and security, but it comes with an electronic lock for additional protection. An anchor hole is also provided and located at the bottom of the safe to place it permanently in one location preventing removal of the safe. For delicate and fragile items, the inside of the safe is carpeted with a durable grey fabric preventing damage to your items.

There are only a couple differences with each model. A few of the main differences are the dimensions and weight. The MF30E, MF35E, and MF50E are the smaller of the series. The MF30E is the smallest safe with exterior dimensions of: Height: – 11.75” x Width: 16.5” x Depth: 14.25” and weighs in at 60 pounds. The MF35E has larger dimensions and weighs 90 pounds. The MF50E comes next weighing in only 5 pounds more at 95 pounds.  These small safes are great for storing small items such as watches, cash, passports, cellphones, photos, necklaces, rings, diamonds and other small expensive or rare items.

This is the only safe that features an interior light when you open the safe. When it’s dark and you’re looking for a specific item, the interior light will help guide you. Then there’s the MF60E that is three inches bigger in height than the MF53E and weighs 185 pounds. However, this safe does not feature an interior light.

Floor Safes Provide Excellent Hidden Protection

June 13th, 2012

We have a wide variety of safes available in our online store. Whether you need a safe for traveling, home or business use, we carry the type of safe you need. If you intend on hiding and concealing your safe, then we recommend looking into purchasing a floor safe. Floor safes provide excellent hidden protection from theft and burglary. Keep intruders and robbers guessing, as your safe is hidden from sight.

Just like wall safes, floor safes are installed into the floor rather than in your wall. The advantage of having a floor safe installed into the floor rather than the wall is that your safe has an extra barrier of protection and is more difficult to remove. Instead of being installed in wall where it’s only protected by mostly dry wall, floor safes are usually installed into a concrete floor. That means the safe is protected by a solid concrete barrier as well as having a solid steel frame. This makes it difficult for any thief from cracking the safe open through any side of the safe. Plus the ability to conceal the safe makes it almost impossible for any intruder to find.

That’s one of the main reasons why people choose to purchase a floor safe. They don’t intend on moving the safe very often and most prefer to keep it in one place. The most common places some people leave their safe is in their bedroom, office, basement, attic or garage. The only problem with keeping your safe there is that it’s visible and is where most burglars and thieves look. The first place a thief will look is in the master bedroom, raiding inside your closet. Although most thieves won’t dare to crack open a safe while inside your home, they’ll do the next best thing, try to take it with them. Most thieves will do anything they can to get inside, so they’ll steal the whole safe and bring it back home, where they’ll have more time to crack it open without being caught. That’s one of the main advantages to having a floor safe. A thief isn’t able to steal your floor safe, and that’s if they find it first.

Other great advantages to having a floor safe is that it provides excellent fire protection. In case of a fire emergency such as wildfires, cooking or electrical accidents, your safe will stay intact mainly because it’s surrounded by concrete, but is also inside of the floor where it’s less exposed to high temperatures or contact with fire. Not only are they resistant to fires, but other natural disasters such as floods, tornadoes and hurricanes. Some floor safes do provide a waterproof dust cover to prevent any moisture or water from seeping through the door of the safe. But most of the time, with anything that is installed within the floor, you always want to protect your valuables from moisture to prevent rust, corrosion or mildew. That’s why also protecting any of your valuables with a waterproof container or a dehumidifier would be ideal inside your floor safe.

The most common items to put into a floor safe are jewelry, cash, documents, handguns, photos and small collectibles. Larger items such as shotguns, paintings or trophies may need a larger safe. The floor safe is perfect for anyone that wants to secure extra cash, gold, gems, necklaces, precious metals and other rare items because they’re compact enough to fit into a floor safe as well as keeping it away from thieves. Keeping handguns and small weapons such as knives are also recommended to prevent any accidents and children from accessing them. It keeps your weapons hidden from any intruders and thieves, as well as keeping you and your family safe.

A floor safe can be a great commodity for either your home or business. It’s inexpensive and affordable, yet provides the great quality you’ve come to expect. Although installation into a concrete floor can take some time and effort, when properly installed, you’ll finally have the peace of mind you deserve. Most floor safes come with a U.L. Listed Group II combination lock, with over 1 million possible combinations. They also feature locking bolts that prevent the door from being opened through forced entry. As with all our safes, it’s constructed from heavy-duty steel, providing durability and strength to last a lifetime.
