Home Safes

Types of Home Safes

Wall Safes

Wall Safes are designed to be attached to the wall. They are often covered behind furniture or decorating items, which adds an extra layer of security to your safe because it is concealed.

Floor Safes

Floor Safes offer a high protection level because they are built into the floor. You can also hide them under a rug or furniture. Once deployed, they are difficult to remove. If you have large items to store, Floor Safes can be the right choice because they often come in larger sizes than other safes.

Free-standing Safes

Imagine a Free-standing Safe as a steel box standing alone. There is no need to deploy it on the floor or wall; you can place it anywhere you want in your house. However, to keep your safe out of sight, you must put them into a closet or do some “makeup.”

Portable Safes

Portable Safes are small, lightweight, and easy to transport. They are mainly used while traveling or for temporary storage.

Key Features of a Home Safe

Lock Types

• Key Locks: Using physical keys is the traditional way to keep your assets safe. Everybody knows how to use it. Home Safes with key locks do not require electricity, making the deployment simpler. This type of lock is also suitable for those who don’t want to remember password numbers.
• Mechanical Combination Locks: Mechanical Combination Locks require a set of numbers to open the Home Safe. To input the code, you need to spin the 3-wheel dial (or 4-wheel dial). The code combination varies from 1 million to 100 million, making this lock a secure option.
• Electronic Combination Locks: Electronic Combination Locks offer a keypad to insert the password. This provides faster access to the Home Safe than Mechanical Combination Locks.
• Biometric Locks: Biometric Locks allow you to use your fingerprints to unlock your safe. In this way, you don’t have to worry about key loss or password leaks.

Size & Weight

Large safes offer higher capacity storage, but they take up more space. Before making a purchase, make sure that your home has enough space to accommodate the safe. Remember to spend at least 30% extra space for the concealment. If you need to move your safe around the house, a lightweight one can be a feasible option. Whereas a heavy Home Safe offers a higher level of protection thanks to its material, thickness, and additional features.

Deployment

Some types of Home Safes require complicated deployment. For example, the Floor Safe must be built into the floor and covered carefully so no one would recognize it. If you prefer simple deployment, Free-standing Safe would be a more suitable choice.

Security Ratings

• Cash Rating: Cash Rating indicates the amount of money that insurers are likely to cover if your safe is broken into. It is calculated based on security features, materials, lock types, etc. The higher the Cash Rating, the more secure the Home Safe is.
• Fire Rating: Fire Rating measures the safe’s duration to protect its contents from heat and fire. If you want to protect papers and documents in your Home Safe, this is an important number to look into.
• Torch and Drill Resistant: Torch and Drill Resistant (TDR) refers to the ability to resist break-ins by drills, grinders, and torches. Home Safe with TDR provides a higher level of protection and costs more.
