Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a cash safe and a gun safe?

A cash safe is designed to securely store money, documents, and valuables in retail, office, or home environments. A gun safe, on the other hand, is built specifically for the secure and legal storage of firearms and ammunition. Gun safes typically include racks, internal lockboxes, and are SABS-compliant to meet South African firearm laws, while cash safes focus on anti-theft and drop deposit features.

Why should I invest in a cash safe for my business?

A cash safe protects your business from:
- Theft and internal shrinkage
- After-hours break-ins
- Non-compliance with insurance policies

Avansa offers drop safes, time-delay safes, and fire-rated safes tailored for retail, petrol stations, and cash-intensive operations.

Are gun safes required by law in South Africa?

Yes. Under the Firearms Control Act, South African gun owners must store firearms in a SABS-approved gun safe that is anchored to a fixed structure. Avansa’s gun and rifle safes meet these legal standards and come in sizes for handguns to 10+ rifles, including options with internal ammo boxes for full compliance.

Can I use one safe for both cash and firearms?

While it is possible, it is not recommended to store cash and firearms in the same safe due to insurance, legal, and safety considerations. Most professionals use separate, purpose-built safes — one optimised for cash handling and another for firearm security. Avansa provides a wide range of both types to ensure full compliance and protection.
