A time lock greatly enhances the security of a safe, allowing you to decide exactly when the safe can be opened. This means staff cannot be forced to open the safe under duress, protecting them and the contents of the safe. Few burglars will be willing to wait around until the time lock is ready to be opened. Safes with a time lock can generally be programmed to open on a fixed schedule, ideal for businesses that only need access to the safe at certain times every day or week.
