What to Look for When Purchasing a Home Safe
Some belongings are, simply said, priceless. When you have important paperwork,
cash, and precious objects that need the ultimate protection against fire, floods, and
burglaries, a home safe is the perfect option. However, there are so many home
safes on the market—and all with different structures and features—that just doing
cursory research can leave your head spinning. Luckily, there are some home safe
features that are necessities, which can help narrow the search greatly. When
considering a home safe, make sure to look for:
A safe that can withstand fire. The right safe should be able to
take heat up to 1850 degrees Fahrenheit and be able to retain its
integrity in an intense fire for at least one to three hours. If you’re
concerned about house fires, a one-hour fire safe may suffice, but if
your area is prone to wildfires or you live in a secluded area where
fire fighters may not be able to get to you quickly, a two- or three-hour fire safe is
best. It is our suggestion that any claim on a safe’s fire rating should be backed by
Underwriter Laboratories, Inc., a trusted safe-tester. Make sure to check for the “UL
2-Hour” seal of approval when making a decision to purchase a safe.
A safe that can withstand impact. Instead of attempting to put cracks in a safe,
some thieves will simply drop it from great heights in order to break it open. Look for
a home safe that can withstand a drop of 30 feet—the equivalent of falling through
two stories.
A safe that’s protected from water damage. Check the specifications of any safe
you are considering to ensure it can withstand submersion or being sprayed with
water.
A safe that can be bolted down. This is an extremely important feature. If a
burglar doesn’t have the skills or time to crack your safe while he’s in your house, he
may simply take it with him—if you can move your safe with a dolly, so can a burglar.

Bolting down your safe into a sound foundation of wood or concrete will prevent this
from happening.
A safe that has enough room for future valuables. Many safe owners add to
their safes as time goes on. It’s prudent to buy a safe that’s a bit bigger than what
you currently require—that way, you’ll have room in the future as you acquire more
valuables.
