If you are looking for pre used commercial safes, there are plenty of options online. Do a little bit of research to find out the best buys from the umpteen options available.



A pre used commercial safe is always a better option if you have a limited budget. Follow these tips.

Look for damages 

A little wear and tear in pre used commercial safes is common, but there should not be any large dents.



If there are damages due to flames or high temperature, it is better not to buy it.

Check doors and locks 

Open and close doors with force and see if they are closing fully and securely. If they are not closing properly it is a signal that their shielding capability has been compromised.



Also, check if the locks are in good condition by locking and unlocking them. If it has an electronic lock, check whether each button works.



If it has a fingerprint lock, ask the seller to demonstrate it for you. If you are buying a safe with an electronic or fingerprint lock, ask the seller to reset it for you.

Test anti-tip mechanisms 

You can test the anti-tip mechanism by opening a drawer fully and then checking if others will open at the same time.



If more than one drawer opens at once, then it is because the anti-tip device is not working properly.

Check the date of purchase 

You must find out the age of the safe by checking the date of purchase. To determine the value of the safe read the disclaimer that would be inscribed on the safe and its ratings.

Ask for specifications manual 

To operate the safe you will need specification manual. This is especially a necessity when you are buying commercial safes with digital locks.

Look for UL ratings 

Many reputed dealers are selling second hand commercial safes, and in order to check the authenticity, you need to check the UL rating or rank.

This is to ensure that the safe has all the features that it promises to have, the kind of materials used for building and how long it will be able to protect your valuables.
