Where and how do you keep your valuables? Amper Locksmiths in Munich offers some helpful tips.

Valuables such as jewellery, watches, important documents, photographic equipment, etc. should never be left out in the open in your home, as they can easily become the target of burglars.

For private households, there are various ways to store valuables. Your contacts for security technology, the professionals at Amper Ausfperrdienst in Munich, recommend the following:

• Safes for private households are available for purchase. They can either be built into the masonry or be portable. When buying, make sure to pay attention to quality certification marks.
• There are safes with combination locks – from our point of view, this is preferable to a key, because with a freely chosen combination you do not risk losing a key. And a burglar who, for example, has time to search your apartment while you are on holiday will also be able to find a hidden key.
• Be sure to clarify with your liability insurance how much your valuables are covered for.
• Definitely create a valuables list with detailed descriptions and photos. This provides invaluable assistance in the event of a claim.
• We recommend a built-in safe for your valuables rather than a cash box or portable safe – as these can be easily stolen in their entirety.
