💡 How It Works

The Avansa Office Safe - Category 2 provides a secure, physical barrier for your valuables. Once installed, typically bolted down for enhanced security, its robust steel construction and advanced locking mechanism restrict access to authorised personnel only.

The 7-Lever key lock system then secures the door, ensuring that the contents are protected from unauthorised entry. For businesses that opt for digital or combination locks, access is granted via a secure code or biometric scan. This straightforward operation ensures that your assets are always protected, streamlining your security protocols without complexity.
