Everything You Need to Know About Wall Safes

• Storing your items of value inside a wall safe,
  is arguably one of the best methods for
  protecting them from theft because the wall safe
  can be discreetly mounted within the cavity of a
  wall inside your home, not only are your items
  well protected within the confines of the safe,
  but a thief likely wont be able to even find it.
  And for smaller spaces, wall safes are often
  ideal, since they take up no additional floor
  space.
• If youre considering investing in a high
  quality, high security wall safe, you may find
  the following information of use

• How big are wall safes?
• Varying in size, wall safes range from around 3.5
  inches deep to 5.75. to get the best sized safe
  for your needs, talk to a safe specialist.
• Can a wall safe be hidden?
• Wall safes can easily be concealed behind a
  mirror or painting, but you must be sure to buy
  one that has a recessed door, and have it
  installed in a room with enough space within the
  walls.

4

• How do wall safes lock?
• You can choose the type of lock you want for your
  wall safe, from digital and electronic, to
  combination.
• Are wall safes fire resistant?
• Yes, but they generally have thicker walls and a
  thicker door than those that are not fire
  resistant, so make sure you have enough cavity
  space, before you buy a fire resistant wall safe.

5

• Are wall safes secure?
• Theyre secure in the sense that they are hard
  for a thief to find, and they afford your items
  of value the same level of protection as any
  other high security safe. However, there is a
  small chance that a burglar with time on his
  hands, may be able to cut or pry it out of the
  wall, so you should consider this when deciding
  what level of security you want for the items you
  plan to store.
• Are wall safes waterproof?
• Wall safes do not have watertight seals and so
  are not waterproof. It generally isnt a good
  idea to keep such a safe in an area that is prone
  to flooding, but you can always place your items
  inside sealed, waterproof bags just to be safe.

• Is moisture able to get inside a wall safe?
• This isnt usually a problem with wall safes, due
  to their location in your home or office, but
  there is still a small chance that moisture could
  get inside a wall safe.
• Should wall safes be professionally installed?
• They definitely should. Safes are heavy,
  cumbersome and expensive items, and are not easy
  to mount inside a wall, especially if you dont
  really know what youre doing. The best thing is
  to ask the company you bought the safe from, to
  have it installed for you.
