A "safe" is a secure storage container designed to protect valuable items, documents, or money from theft, fire, or damage. Safes come in various sizes and types, including wall safes, floor safes, and portable safes. They often feature locking mechanisms, such as combination locks, key locks, or electronic keypads, to ensure that only authorized individuals can access the contents. In addition to personal use, safes are commonly used in businesses, banks, and financial institutions to safeguard sensitive information and assets. Many safes are also rated for fire resistance, providing an extra layer of protection against potential disasters.
