Safe Keeping

A home security safe can protect your money and other valuables including important papers. You may not need or want a home security safe that is costly or large, but whatever your needs there is a home security safe available for online purchase that is just right for you.

You can choose from home security gun safes, safes specifically designed to prevent burglary, those specifically designed to protect from the destruction of fire, home security safes that are both burglar and fire proof, as well as depository safes. You have a choice in home security safes or wall safes, safes that set into your flooring, ones that are hidden under the counter, and safes with electronic locks. Others that are uncommon for home security unless you are exceedingly rich with an excessive large home are vaulted home security safes. You can choose to have your safe custom designed as well.

Let’s look at some of the more common choices in home security safes.

One of the most popular home security safes is a burglar defiant fireproof combination. Smith & Wesson, for instance, makes such a home security safe, in three different sizes. You would choose the one that would most comfortably house all the valuables you need to protect. Your size options are the small one shelf home security safe that is 20×20x20, the 2-shelf 30×20x20 version, or the large 3 shelf 40×20x20 safe.

These home security safes are made of solid steel and a huge door with a one-quarter inch plate of solid steel as well as material to insulate from fire. The interior is constructed of oak, with a back cover of velour. The handle is L shaped, the 3-wheel combination dial lock burglar proof, with its hard steel plate that resists drilling. The hinges are external to give you easy access to the contents of your home security safe. This home security safe has three or four locking bolts made of chrome plating. Each home security safe has four anchor holes that have been precut.

The fire wall of the home security safe protects against temperatures up to 1200 degrees Fahrenheit for up to 30 minutes, and keeps the interior temperature below 350 degrees Fahrenheit, protecting the valuables inside. (Paper will not char until it has reached 450 degrees Fahrenheit.)

Wall safes are by far the most common home security safe, and one of the easiest to install. They often come with anchor holes that are precut and a flange built in to keep replastering to a minimum.

Home security wall safes are lightweight in comparison with many others, weighing between 22 and 100 pounds depending on size. Their solid steel doors range between 1/4 and 3/4 inches thick and the type of lock varies. You can choose a home security wall safe with a key lock, a combination lock with or without a key override or one with an electronic locking system.

These home security wall safes protect the interior contents for up to one hour, never exceeding 350 degrees Fahrenheit. They have side-locking bolts of steel so that the door cannot be removed.
