Valuables and important documents must always be kept hidden and protected from the elements. Instead of opting for a conventional safe that can easily be discovered, consider investing in a hidden safe. These specialized safes provide an additional layer of security, cleverly concealing your items in plain sight and making them nearly impossible for anyone to find. This added discretion enhances your peace of mind.
Wall Safe
Wall safes come in many shapes and sizes, including ones that can be mounted directly in the wall. It’s easy to hide these safes behind a painting to keep your valuables safe. Some are designed to be even more discrete and take the shape of an outlet. You can install this type of safe into the wall and unlock it using a key to hide smaller things like jewelry and keys. These safes can range anywhere from $100 to $300.
Floor Safe
Floor safes are even easier to hide using a rug, removable flooring, or carpet, and installing a safe into your floor may also be easier compared to wall safes. They are heavy-duty and come with a variety of locking mechanisms, including code and heavy-duty dead bar to prevent forced entries. These safes can be more expensive than wall versions and can cost anywhere from $300 to $800.
Book Safe
Bookcases give you a chance to hide whatever you need in a hollowed-out book as a safe. From the outside, these lockboxes look like regular books — until you open them and there are no pages. Book safes are best for those who are seeking to hide smaller things like necklaces, cash, passports, and other valuable documents. Book safes are also smaller and cost much less. In general, you can get a book safe for $20 to $30.
Desk Drawer Safe
Most desks are very sturdy and give you the chance to install a safe where you usually keep your files. You can measure your desk drawer and determine what size would fit safely. Alternatively, you can purchase a safe that’s designed for your office desk, such as Home Security Superstore’s Gun Safe. For $219.99, this safe requires a fingerprint scan or key to open the lock.
Clock Safe
Most people have a clock in their house, but you can purchase a clock safe for form and function. There are several designs to choose from, including classic wood, silver border, and more. Some also act as an heirloom clock and can rest on the mantle. The average price for these safes ranges greatly depending on how much size you need and the type of material used to make the clock. These safes range from $15 to $60.
Household Products Safes
Sometimes, hiding your safe in plain sight is the best way to protect your valuables. There are many diversion safes you can buy, including a surge protector, D-size battery, lint roller, paint cans, soda cans, and much more. The Home Security Superstore offers diversion safes that blend in with your home to keep anyone from finding your belongings. The prices of the safes vary, but you can purchase one from $6.99 to $42.95.
