Collection: Safes

Find the right safe for what you are protecting

Almost every safe buying mistake comes from matching the safe to a budget rather than to a threat. Fire and burglary are different problems, solved by different construction, and a safe that is excellent against one may do very little against the other. Start by deciding which you are actually buying for.

Browse by what you need to protect

• Fire & Burglary Safes — dual-rated units for documents, cash and valuables. 1-hour and 2-hour fire ratings, B-rate steel doors.
• Gun Safes — rack-configured interiors for long guns, from 11-gun cabinets to 45-gun executive safes.
• Depository & Cash Safes — drop slots and hoppers so staff can deposit without being able to withdraw.
• Home & Office Safes — everyday security for passports, jewelry, deeds and small electronics.
• High-Security TL-30 Safes — UL-tested against 30 minutes of professional power-tool attack.
• Wall Safes — recessed between studs and hidden behind art or a mirror.
• In-Floor Safes — set into a concrete slab, invisible under a rug and impossible to carry off.

Reading a fire rating

Fire ratings are tested against paper, which chars near 350°F. A 1-hour rating means the interior stays below that for an hour in a furnace test; 2-hour ratings suit commercial buildings, rural properties with longer fire-service response, and homes with a heavy fuel load. Crucially, no standard fire rating protects digital media — hard drives, SSDs and photographs degrade nearer 125°F. Store backups in a media-rated insert inside the safe.

Reading a burglary rating

Most safes on the market are "B-rate," which describes steel thickness — roughly a 1/4-inch body and a 1/2-inch door. That is a genuine barrier against the pry bars and hand tools used in the vast majority of break-ins. A UL TL-30 rating is a different order of protection: an independent laboratory attacks the safe with carbide drills, grinders and saws and must fail to open it within 30 minutes of net cutting time. If you hold high-value inventory, bullion or significant cash, that is the class to look at — and it is often what an insurer wants to see.

Locks: dial or keypad

A UL-listed mechanical dial needs no batteries and is unaffected by power loss, but it is slower to open. An electronic keypad opens in seconds and makes multiple user codes simple; the code survives a dead battery in non-volatile memory. Weekly access tends to favor the dial, daily access the keypad.

Three things to check before ordering

Measure the delivery route — doorways, hallway turns, thresholds — against the safe's exterior dimensions, not its interior. Confirm the floor can carry the weight, which ranges from under 50 lbs to over 3,000 lbs across this range. And plan to anchor it: every safe here has pre-drilled base holes, and an unanchored safe under a few hundred pounds can simply be removed and opened elsewhere. Exterior and interior dimensions, weight, clear door opening and lock type are listed on every product page.
