A wall safe is the best choice for those that want to hide the safe from any potential thief. Therefore not only do you have the security offered by a safe but also the added advantage that its location is well hidden. This makes it ideal for home and business security.

To hide the safe, just cover it with a mirror or picture and instantly you have a hidden safe. Statistics show most burglars spend less than six minutes inside a victims home. A well hidden wall safe will therefore significantly reduce your chances losing your valuables.

A wall safe can be installed quite easily and they can be placed in concrete or wood walls. There has to be enough space behind the wall for it to fit, so a wall that backs to closed off attic space or something similar works best. Of course you can arrange to have one installed during construction of a new home or office.

This safe will come in a variety of depths. Make sure your wall space can handle the model you choose. You dont want to purchase your safe only to find that it doesnt fit!

Its important to remember that usually a wall safe is not as ruggedly constructed as a free-standing safe. It is not possible to use thick reinforced metal as they have to fit in a confined space within the wall. However security is not comprised as the safe is hidden.

Another fact to keep in mind is that they are not made of fireproof construction. Again this is due to the limited space available in the wall. However if you keep these facts in mind, the wall safe will act as direct obstacle to thieves.

A wall safe can be opened by combination, electronic lock, or key, depending on the model you choose. Combination and electronic locks are ideal if you dont want to worry about losing keys. The key lock suits those who dont want to worry about forgetting numbers!

Remember to consider what you are going to put in your wall safe before you purchase it to make sure that you got the one that suits you best. If you intend to store large items such as a rifle or valuable painting then a wall safe is not for you as it is too small for such items. They are ideal however for securing other valuable items such as cash, jewelry and important documents like wills and deeds.
