The Perfect Solution To Every Cash-Handling Business
Do you own your own business? Do you have to manage and handle cash everyday? Well the perfect solution to organizing and keeping all your profits safe and secure is to invest in a depository safe. MESA has been the leader in the safe industry since 1981. Our bread and butter have been the depository safe. We have been improving and fine tuning its features since the growth of the company. While refining the deposit safe for perfection, it lead us to create our own full line of high security safes, which are used for a variety of different applications. Our main focus is to provide the best possible high security safe for every type of use to provide maximum protection, excellent security and long lasting durability.
Despite the downturn of the economy in recent years, we know that many business owners are standing strong, hoping that it will get better soon. There’s no room for error or losing any hard-earned profits from theft, burglary, mishandling of cash and disorganization. It’s time that you have some type of systematic organization of your cash and other valuables. In order to increase profits, minimize budgets and prevent losses due to lack of management, the deposit safes will assist and relieve all your hassles and troubles.
MESA MFL2014 Deposit Safe
One of our most popular models in our depository safe line is the MFL2014. MESA’s MFL2014 provides just the right amount of storage space to keep your cash. It features a front-loading mailbox style deposit door to quickly make deposits into the safe. The convenience of the drop box feature allows you to load your cash, checks, receipts, envelopes and other types of currency or documentation very easily without having to open up the safe.
What about thieves or intruders forcing their way inside through the deposit door? Our money safes feature an anti-fish baffle that prevents internal theft through the deposit door. This feature thwarts off the thief from stealing any items inside the safe. Another security feature the MFL2014 contains is a high security lock to prevent theft and unauthorized users from gaining access. With the MFL2014 you have different lock options available to you. You can choose a combination dial lock and enter the correct combination to unlock the safe or you can choose a dual-keyed lock. A dual-keyed lock does not need a combination or code to be entered, but must have two security keys for both key slots in order to open up the safe. However, we recommend choosing the electronic lock. To gain access into the safe a keypad code needs to be entered. If the code is entered incorrectly multiple times then the electronic lock will go into a keypad lockout penalty. This prevents any further codes to be entered adding even more security to your safe.
What else makes the depository safe such a popular item? Many people take for granted its basic features that most safes should have. First and foremost, none of our safes are built from plastic or any other type of cheap material. Our safes are built strong with high quality steel construction to guarantee resilience and sturdiness that can withstand physical attacks from forced attempts. Other security features are thick diameter solid steel live locking bolts. Even when the electronic lock is removed and the thief is prying its way into the safe with a crowbar, the steel bolts ensure that the doors are tightly shut and prevent entry.
What Do Incoming College Freshmen Need?
Still in the middle of summer, many students aren’t even thinking about preparing for school. However, for those who will be attending their first year of college next semester or quarter, perhaps there is a lot on their mind. It’s never too early to prepare for a new experience in your life, especially if you’re leaving your hometown. Usually when it comes to preparing for college, we think about the everyday items such as laundry baskets, laptops, notebooks, backpacks, food, money, clothes, etc. Whether you are living on or off campus, having the essential college items is important when moving out to be better prepared for your first time moving out. Here’s to a new era for incoming students this fall. What do incoming freshmen really need besides the basic necessities?
Electronics and technology will be a fundamental necessity for all students, but you don’t need to spend so much on these everyday items. Most of the time, those items are already provided. The only real electronics students’ need is their own laptop and cellphone. Most, if not all colleges provide computer labs where students have access to Internet and printing. Nowadays, many students have smartphones that can also serve as a music device.
When it comes to organizing your dorm room or apartment, you can also spend a lot on unnecessary items. There won’t be too much space for you to bring in your own bed, closets, or dressers. There are a lot of different items on the market today that utilize and maximize the available space given to you. You can find twin beds that have storage underneath so that you can keep you clothes or other items inside. You also have shelf organizers to separate your shoes and clothing from each other all while managing better storage space. Hooks that go over your door can serve as a coat or jacket hanger.
As for safety, health and hygiene, we need to make sure we keep our rooms safe and clean. Make sure you got a first aid kit, hand vacuum, fresheners, wipes and hand sanitizers to keep you and your roommates from getting sick. There’s nothing worse than being sick away from home having to skip class. You’ll get so caught up in school, you’ll realize your room has turned into a dump. Take some time off the day or weekends to clean and reorganize your items. You’ll feel a lot better and less likely to get sick.
Speaking of safety, security is one of the concerns that most college freshmen often forget. You get soaked up in the excitement with meeting new people, a new adventure, that sometimes you have your guard down. You have to remember that although most dorms and apartments are usually safe and secure, you’re still living with hundreds of other strangers in your building. Students often leave their dorm rooms open or don’t bother to lock their doors. That means you have people going in and out, discussing the next exam, borrowing textbooks or just wanting to hang out. All your items are laid out on your bed, desk or floor, its very easy for someone to just take and steal those items. Those items such as your laptop or textbooks are very expensive to replace. A wise idea for students to invest in are safes. A safe is a secure storage that restricts access with the use of a combination or electronic lock. When you’re out hanging with your friends and roommates or going back home for the weekend, a safe is an essential item to have, especially for dorms and apartments.
The ideal safes nowadays that are used for universities, hospitals, hotels and other residential buildings are hotel safes. For a college freshmen and student, the best thing about having a hotel safe is that you’ll be able to keep some extra cash, passports, important college documents, notes, laptops, textbooks, identification and other confidential information without having to worry about your parents sending it to you over the mail. You will have the peace of mind when you’re studying at the library or eating out with some friends. If your roommate invites some friends or people you don’t know, you don’t have to worry about your stuff being stolen. There are so many students that wander around the floors wanting to meet new people and most of the time don’t even lock or close their doors. That’s why having a hotel safe is a necessity for every college freshmen.
We hope this upcoming school year you have fun starting a new chapter in your life. Don’t spoil all the joy and excitement with hassles that could be prevented. Keep an open mind, be adventurous, meet new people and take in new ventures.
Hotel Safes Are The Perfect Back-To-School Product
We hope that everyone is having a fun and safe summer. As we are in the middle of July, we all know that summer school is in session and the new school year is vastly approaching. For those looking ahead and preparing to get started shopping on back-to-school items, we recommend investing in a hotel safe. Hotel safes are especially ideal for college students who plan on moving out next fall or need something to keep all their valuable school items in. Moving to a new location can be very exciting, but at the same time you want to keep all your valuables safe and protected.
For college students looking into moving to the dorms or apartments near campus, you need something to protect your items. For the average student, those items can be expensive textbooks, laptops, calculators, jewelry, cash, cell phones, music devices, media and other valuables. On top of that, you have to pay for college tuition and paying back your loans. Prevent any hassles or added costs by protecting your everyday items. There are a lot of thefts and burglaries that occur in college dorms and apartments. Make sure you have the necessary protection by investing in a hotel safe.
Hotel safes are specifically designed for personal use. You typically see these types of safes in hotel rooms where you can keep your jewelry, wallet and keys secured when you leave your hotel room. However, they can also be used in your own personal room. A hotel safe is lightweight and compact making it very user friendly and portable. They are an excellent choice for all hotels, universities, hospitals and homeowners. You can keep a variety of different items in a hotel safe that include jewelry, laptops, cash, passports, wallets, cell phones and more. That’s why hotel safes are the perfect solution to keeping your school items safe.
MESA hotel safes weigh in between 25 to 30 pounds making it lightweight and easy to move to any location desired. The size of the safe is compact, but large enough storage capacity to hold multiple items. Our hotel safes feature a battery-operated electronic lock for added security compared to a combination lock. It has a standard hotel function that utilizes one code to lock the safe then re-entering the same code to unlock. After the safe has been unlocked using the same code, the code will be erased. A standard electronic function is also available as well as an electronic override, which can be set by the user. During an electronic override, the keypad will then go into a lockout penalty if multiple combinations are entered incorrectly. With our electronic lock keypad and its features, it will be able to keep your items secured and keep intruders away.
The other security features our hotel safes provide are anchor holes that can secure the safe onto a wall or floor for fixed placement and added security. The thick diameters of the solid steel locking bolts make sure the safe door is tightly shut. Furthermore, pry resistant doors and concealed hinges provide anti-theft protection and prevent door removal against forced attempts in prying it open. You can also purchase a separate pedestal to go along with your safe that allows convenient access in and out of your safe, which raises the safe off the ground 18 inches high. You’ll be able to access your safe faster and easier without having bend down to the floor or reaching high for access.
Our goal is to provide you with the best protection against theft. For those looking to getting a head start on their back-to-school items and preparing for school the next year, we’re more than happy to provide you with the proper security storage. Get the protection you deserve and don’t become a victim to theft. Don’t let stolen items become a bigger burden on your college expenses. Stay protected and become prepared.
The Five Most Common Mistakes Made When Operating Safes
Whether or not you have a safe of your own, keeping in mind these five most common mistakes made when operating a safe can save you money and time. We stumbled on an article by Fast Casual and we couldn’t agree more with them. After having an opportunity to attend the National Restaurant Association show in Chicago, we know how important cash management safes are for the restaurant business.
Fast Casual has always brought up to date news and events about the people and the trends in the restaurant industry. They have reached over a million visitors throughout the world who want to be informed about the latest food or beverage trends. The restaurant industry is always dealing with cash. When customers pay for their meals it goes into the cash register. For safekeeping, that cash is most likely being stored into a safe for security and protection. The only problem is, some mistakes are made when operating the safes that can often lead to theft that minimizes your profit and hard earnings. Were here to remind you to follow these rules so the same mistakes aren’t made over again.
Fast Casual offered their own rendition of the most common mistakes made with safes. This is a different take since we’ll be taking a look from a restaurant perspective, but as a safe manufacturer, we believe in receiving as much input as possible to further improve our products. We introduce you to Fast Casual's top five most common mistakes in addition to our own advice that will remind and assist you to protect your cash and other valuables at all times.
1. Never Leave Your Safe Unlocked
We all get lazy every now and then, especially when something becomes a repetitive process. That means we take shortcuts and leave our safes unlocked just because we believe nothing bad will ever happen. This is where our safes are the most vulnerable. We want it to be more convenient so we leave it open, not wanting to bother entering the code a thousand times. Always make sure you lock up your safe because theft can happen anytime not just by burglars breaking in, but even employees or customers. Take the time to lock up especially when handling and storing a large amount of money.
2. Combination Locks with Daylock
Our MESA safes don’t have combination locks with daylock, but this is still a good reminder and tip that some combination locks do. With a spin dial safe, the convenience of having the combination open with a few clicks can save time and less effort, but we all know this simple trick isn't fooling anyone. Invest in a high security combination lock that makes you go through the whole combination process.
3. Sharing The Passcode or Combination
First we hope that the combination or passcode to the safe is only accessible to authorized users. When sharing a passcode for an electronic lock, make sure you have regular users and a master user. One of the issues that arise when having multiple users sharing the same code to the safe is liability when profits are missing. Another issue is the last time the combination or code was changed. If you had former employees or managers, you always want to change the code because of security reasons.
4. Saving the Combination or Passcode as a Reminder
Not everyone can memorize the combination or password very easily. Sometimes we need to remind ourselves what the password is. That means for some people they write down or save the password on their computer. The only problem is, do we make sure we keep that password safe from unauthorized users. Confidential and sensitive information such as this should be kept somewhere safe where only you have access to it. Anyone who can easily find your information can easily access the safe later on. Don’t expose your password and keep it safe like you would with all your other sensitive documents.
5. Providing Your Combination or Passcode to Unauthorized Users
Sometimes we let our guard down or trust people too easily that we give our combination or passcode to those who don’t have authorized access. Just because its more convenient for them to do it doesn’t mean you should give out your passcode like it’s nothing. That’s like giving out your credit card or social security information. Once they have your passcode, you never know if they’ll come back to use it again. Always keep your combination or passcode to yourself. What’s the point of having a combination or passcode if everyone else knows.
Moreover, take care of your combination or passcode. Keep it to yourself and if you write it down, make sure you keep it in a safe place where no one can find it. There are different types of safe locks that either use a combination dial, electronic keypad or keyed lock. Whichever lock you have, always make sure only authorized users are able to access the safe. You wouldn’t want an issue where something valuable is stolen and you have to play the detective game. Take initiative and monitor the operations of your safe to ensure protection of your valuables everyday.
