FAQs

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a home safe?

Yes. Many retailers offer big price cuts around Black Friday. Safes aren't a common sale item, so holiday deals are one of the best chances to get a high-quality model at the best price.

What key features should I look for in a home safe?

You'll want to consider specs such as fire rating, water resistance, bolting or anchoring capability to make it more difficult for someone to run off with, lock type (digital keypad, biometric, dial, and/or key), size, and interior capacity. These are all factors we considered when testing home safes.

Do I need fireproof bags even if I buy a good safe?

If a safe lacks strong water protection — and we found most do — it's a good idea to store essential documents and devices, such as USB drives, in a fireproof and waterproof bag inside the safe.
