This article presents safe protection solutions which have been protected by intellectual property over the past 70 years around the world. The data is systematized and arranged by the author into groups of typical solutions for ease of tracking. Protected solutions are very diverse and can be divided into large groups including locking solutions when subjected to drilling or explosives, anti-drilling solutions, materials solutions, and key blocking solutions, lock, anti-backlash locking solution group, concealment solution group and multi-setting solution group, etc. These solutions show extremely sophisticated designs and very high security and protection standards on safes. People also trust in mechanical structures more than electronic - control solutions even if the future trend in this field is mechatronics.
