Protex Safe Company's HD-34 fire resistant burglary safe has been selected by Washington, DC-based publisher Kiplinger as the best safe of 2009.

Online PR News – 10-November-2009 – Kiplinger magazine for personal finance, with a paid circulation of over one-million, has selected the Protex HD-34 fire and burglary safe as the best safe of 2009 in their December special issue, "The Best of Everything 2009".

Kiplinger safety expert Bob Thurman notes that the HD-34, "has all the features that [he] recommends, including an electronic keypad." Kiplinger.com, a complementary platform for the magazine (receiving nearly two million unique visits per month), expands on the print edition's praises of the Protex HD-34 by referring to the safe as the "Best Safe to Protect Your Stash." The latter designation alludes to the reality that current skepticism of the banking system is causing many to keep cash money at home - a practical hedge against [possible] future turmoil.

It is in the current economic environment that consumers are seeking the biggest bang for their buck, opting for safes that are designed both to protect against burglary and fire - not just either/or. The Protex HD-34 achieves both goals of fire and burglary protection, without what Kiplinger refers to as having to "spend a small fortune."
