What are the Advantages of Cast Iron?
Another key benefit of steel security safe lock boxes is their ability to protect contents from fire and water damage. Many manufacturers offer fire-resistant models that can withstand high temperatures for extended periods, thereby protecting sensitive items like important documents and electronics. Similarly, some safes include water-resistant designs or seals that protect contents from flooding or spills. This dual protection capability makes steel lock boxes essential for anyone looking to safeguard not just against theft but also against natural disasters.
Low Maintenance
Speaking from personal experience as a welder, steel is a lot easier to work with than iron. If someone manages to break a piece of steel (which isn’t easy), repairing it is a simple matter of properly positioning the pieces and welding them together. In contrast, repairing a cracked or damaged piece of iron means heating the whole piece back up to nearly molten temperatures, then carefully welding it in stages--with pauses to reheat the piece--while sometimes giving it a whack with a hammer and hoping you don’t hear the tell-tale ping of a crack forming somewhere else. Iron is a finicky material.
