How to Choose a Honeywell Safe

Write down a list of the items you wish to store in the safe. Estimate how much space these items are going to take. A stack of papers, for example, will not require as much space as a stack of hard drives. Estimating the amount of space needed will ensure that you don't waste money on a Honeywell safe that is too large, or accidentally purchase one that isn't large enough for your needs.

Write down the potential hazards that you wish to protect your items from. Identifying the primary threats to your safes will allow you to compare features between different models and choose the one that offers the best protection for your particular needs. For example, if you live in an area frequently afflicted with hurricanes, you may be most interested in a waterproof safe. If you live in a state with frequent wildfires, however, you may be more concerned about fire protection.

Visit your local office store that stocks Honeywell safes, or consult an online retailer that sells different Honeywell models. Narrow down your options by first finding safes that fall into the size range you require. Once you have identified safes large enough for your needs, narrow down the category further by identifying the ones that have the protection features you need. Finally, further narrow down the category by choosing only safes in your price range. Write down the model numbers of those safes.

Research each Honeywell safe model online that you are considering. Search for reviews and any other information you can gather. Try to find a current or previous owner that is willing to answer any questions you might have about the safe you are considering.

Purchase the Honeywell safe that you have determined meets your size and protection needs, that has a consistently positive track record and that is within in your budget.
