The word 'Security' is derived from the Latin word 'se cura,'
which means to be without concern or care, and to be free from debt.

People have always had the need to protect the things that are of most importance and value to them. Early humans, the Hunters and Gatherers, hid their 'treasures' under stones and in caves as a way to protect their possessions from wild animals, competing humans, and natural elements.

As time went on and technology increased, people would develop tools made from various types of metal; they would also progress in further enhancing their handcrafting techniques and skills in craftsmanship. The outcome of this progression would lead to the development of safe buildings, constructed primarily from stones and wood, and equipped with doors, chests, and eventually locks.

These early safety devices became the medium of protection, security, and storage for coins, jewellery, expensive decorations, and other objects of value. All throughout history, from pre-history, through the Middle Ages, and on to today, having a means to safely take care of one's valuables has become not only an item of high importance, but also a necessity.

With the ending of the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, many changes in technology would take place. In the 18th Century James Watt invented the steam engine; that resulted in the transformation of Europe. This invention set the scene for the industrialization of Central Europe - especially Germany.

The first savings banks were also created during that time - the time of Napoleon. As the demand for more reliable safety devices increased with the times, so too would the need for new kinds of safety devices. As a result, chests and locks were improved, and eventually, safety deposit boxes would become available.

Finally, the world would see its first safe factory in England in the year 1795. Soon after, in 1813, Germany would also set

up its first safe factory. The result afterwards was that the manufacturing of safes would greatly increase, giving the 19th Century the reputation of being the "Century of the Safe Industry."
