A high-quality safe offers maximum protection for your most valuable belongings, including your important papers, cash, and firearms. While the type you choose has an enormous impact on the security of your home, where you install it can be just as critical. The tips below will help you decide where to put your new safe.

4 Places to Install a Home Safe

1. Inside a Piece of Furniture

Installing a safe inside a piece of furniture keeps it hidden from view, which can prevent many thieves from trying to break in at all. It also makes the lockbox easily accessible for you, ensuring that you’ll actually use it to keep your valuables secure.

2. In a Coat Closet

After breaking in, thieves typically head to the master bedroom to search for jewelry and other expensive items. Most won’t stop to rifle through the coat closet, which makes it the perfect place to hide your most valuable assets.

3. Anchored to the Floor

Ideally, safes should be attached to a concrete wall, but this isn’t always possible. If you have a large model, anchoring it to the floor can be an ideal way to keep thieves from stealing the entire container. This does make safes more challenging to hide, so you may want to consider building furniture or a shelving unit around the device.

4. In the Corner

Safes also protect your important papers and other belongings from fire and natural disasters. Placing them at the intersection of two exterior walls is often the better bet since these areas are usually the sturdiest parts of the home.
