Bank vault secure space where money, valuables, records, and documents are stored

A bank vault is a secure space where money, valuables, records, and documents are stored. It is intended to protect their contents from theft, unauthorized use, fire, natural disasters, and other threats, much like a safe. Unlike safes, vaults are an integral part of the building within which they are built, using armored walls and a tightly fashioned door closed with a complex lock.

History

In 1886, the twenty-year-old Edvin Albert Rosengren took over a blacksmiths in Gothenburg, Sweden, where he had been working as an apprentice. Initially producing a limited range of light safes, Rosengren quickly grew the business, expanding it to produce heavier safes, safe deposit lockers and vault doors for banks.

In 1897, Rosengren won a gold medal at the Stockholm Exhibition for Art and Industry for a large decorative safe. [1] Two such safes were built, one of which is housed today at the headquarters of the Gunnebo Security Group. As the company expanded, it opened its first production plant in the Backa area of Gothenburg in 1905. [1] Over the next three years, turnover increased sixfold.

Rosengren died in 1910 at the age of 44. Shortly after his death, the company was listed on the stock exchange. The company continued to prosper, and introduced electronically controlled safe deposit lockers in the 1970s. [1] During the 1980s, a number of companies were acquired by Rosengrens, including Euro-Si A/S in Maribo (Denmark), Tann AB in Gävle (Sweden), Hadak Security AB in Eskilstuna and Mora (Sweden) and Koninklijke Martens Safes BV (Netherlands). In 1994, Rosengrens was acquired by the Gunnebo Security Group. Today it is one of several brands of safes and vaults sold and marketed by the security company.

Products

Safes

Safes are sold from Grade I to Grade VI, rising in the level of physical attack the safe will withstand. The grade is always awarded by an independent body (European Certification Body). [2]

European Certification Body“ (ECB) is a since 7 July 1992 accredited and neutral certification body for physical security products. It certifies according to – without any national additional requirements. ECB issues the ECB•S certification mark.

Fire safes

Safes are also sold which withstand fire. These are independently certified for the length of protection (half an hour, one hour or two hours) and the type of contents which will be protected (either paper or data). The range includes document safes, data safes and fireproof filing cabinets.

Vault rooms

With grades up to XII, vault rooms and vault doors are used by banks and other companies which need to protect the contents of a specific area, such as a weapons room or storage of pharmaceuticals.

Safe secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects

A safe is a secure lockable box used for securing valuable objects against theft and/or damage from fire. A safe is usually a hollow cuboid or cylinder, with one face being removable or hinged to form a door. The body and door may be cast from metal or formed out of plastic through blow molding. Bank teller safes typically are secured to the counter, have a slit opening for dropping valuables into the safe without opening it, and a time-delay combination lock to foil robbers/and or thieves. One significant distinction between types of safes is whether the safe is secured to a wall or structure or if it can be moved around. A less secure version is usually called a cash-box.

Safe deposit box

A safe deposit box, also known as a safety deposit box, is an individually secured container, usually held within a larger safe or bank vault. Safe deposit boxes are generally located in banks, post offices or other institutions. Safe deposit boxes are used to store valuable possessions, such as gemstones, precious metals, currency, marketable securities, luxury goods, important documents, or computer data, that need protection from theft, fire, flood, tampering, or other perils. In the United States, neither banks nor the FDIC insure the contents. An individual can purchase insurance for the safe deposit box in order to cover e.g. theft, fire, flooding or terrorist attacks.

Safe-cracking

Safe-cracking is the process of opening a safe without either the combination or the key.

Cybersecurity standards are techniques generally set forth in published materials that attempt to protect the cyber environment of a user or organization. This environment includes users themselves, networks, devices, all software, processes, information in storage or transit, applications, services, and systems that can be connected directly or indirectly to networks. The principal objective is to reduce the risks, including prevention or mitigation of cyber-attacks. These published materials consist of collections of tools, policies, security concepts, security safeguards, guidelines, risk management approaches, actions, training, best practices, assurance and technologies.

A fire-resistance rating typically means the duration for which a passive fire protection system can withstand a standard fire resistance test. This can be quantified simply as a measure of time, or it may entail a host of other criteria, involving other evidence of functionality or fitness for purpose.

A certification listing is a document used to guide installations of certified products, against which a field installation is compared to make sure that it complies with a regulation. Typically, products or items are required to be installed or used in accordance with a subject-related certification listing if those products or items are subject to product certification and must be used in a specific manner in order to be safe for use. Certification listings are issued by organisations that are usually nationally accredited for doing both testing and product certification work, in accordance with nationally accredited standards.

Gun safe secure storage container for firearms

A gun safe is a safe for one or more firearms and/or ammunition for those guns. Gun safes are primarily used to prevent access to unauthorized or unqualified persons, for burglary protection, and, in more capable safes, to protect the contents from damage during a flood, fire, or natural disaster. Access prevention is required by law in many places, necessitating a gun lock, metal gun cabinet, or gun safe. Gun safes have largely replaced the gun cabinets made of fine stained wood with etched glass fronts used for display that were commonly used decades ago, although some gun safes are made to resemble such gun cabinets.
