WHY A GOLD BUYING OR PAWNBROKER BUSINESS NEEDS A CERTIFIED SAFE
Gold buying and pawnbroker businesses handle some of the most attractive assets for criminals
Gold, jewellery, watches, diamonds and cash concentrate a high economic value in a small space. A certified safe is an essential element for protecting your business assets.
Precious Metals
Gold, silver, jewellery and luxury watches require higher levels of protection than a conventional retail business.
Highly Portable Assets
Stored items can be removed quickly during a burglary, increasing the risk compared to other commercial sectors.
Frequent Target for Theft
Businesses dedicated to buying precious metals are a common target for organised and specialised criminals.
Certified Protection
We recommend certified Grade 4 safes in accordance with UNE EN 1143-1 to protect high-value assets with proven resistance against burglary attacks.
