What is Cash Rating? How is It Determined On a Cash Or Burglary Safe?

Updated:

Cash Rating indicates a safe's security level, and the highest amount of money that should be kept in it. It's determined by door and wall thickness, lock types used and the safe's general build quality. Insurance cover can vary depending on your location, and may be higher or lower than the manufacturer's recommended Cash Rating. Check with your insurer for exact ratings. The higher the rating, the more secure the safe.
