We can see from the devastating wildfires in L.A. as we entered 2025 that home is not the best place to store your valuables. Tragically, scores of homeowners in L.A. have lost not only their homes, but also priceless family heirlooms, expensive possessions, important documents, end even rare and irreplaceable objects. And fire is not the only risk you face when keeping valuables at home wherever you live, including Hong Kong. In this blog, we will show without a shadow of a doubt why keeping your valuables in a safe deposit box is much safer than at home.

Advantages of storing valuables in a safe deposit box

Keeping your valuables in a safe deposit box offers several advantages over storing them at home.

1. No Theft and Burglary Threats: Even with home security systems, valuables such as jewellery, important documents, or family heirlooms remain vulnerable to theft. Safe deposit boxes in bank-standard vaults are much more impenetrable.

2. Safe from Fire and Natural Disasters: As can plainly be seen from the events in L.A., fires, floods, earthquakes, and other natural disasters can quickly destroy irreplaceable items if stored at home. Fire-proof, water-proof and air-conditioned vaults make sure valuables in safe deposit boxes are free from such risks.

3. Additional Insurance Coverage: Many homeowners' insurance policies have limited coverage for high-value items, leaving them underinsured. On top of that, the red tape you must work through to get pay-outs, even if you are covered, is daunting with no guarantee of fully covering your losses. Guardforce Hong Kong’s Tri-guard Safe Deposit Box offers additional insurance coverage for valuables stored within.

4. Unparalleled Security Powered by Cutting-edge Tech: Safe deposit box services, such as Guardforce Hong Kong’s Tri-guard Safe Deposit Box, offer cutting-edge robotics and biometric identification technology to ensure maximum security.

5. Flexible and Private Access: Unlike traditional banks, services such as Guardforce Hong Kong’s Tri-guard Safe Deposit Box allow flexible and private access to your valuables at your convenience.

6. Peace of Mind: Knowing that your most precious belongings are stored in a fireproof, theft-proof, and climate-controlled environment provides important peace of mind.

What can you store in a safe deposit box?

A variety of items can be stored in safe deposit boxes which come in different sizes. Clients will often store jewellery and watches, passports and important documents (such as deeds, birth certificates, etc.), irreplaceable family heirlooms, and other rare collectables. Really, whatever you feel is most valuable to you.

Discovering a new era in safe deposit box storage

Traditional bank safe deposit boxes are hard to come by, relatively costly and inconvenient. To solve this issue, private, highly-trusted security companies such as Guardforce Hong Kong have developed new, high-tech and easily accessible safe deposit box services.
