If you’re looking to install a safe, there are a ton of locations around the house you can safely stow it. Here are some tips to find the perfect position for your safe for ease of access, security, and keeping your children safe as well.
Positions to Install a Safe
Inside Your Wardrobe
The go-to location for most homeowners is inside of the closet or wardrobe. You can easily compartmentalize a safe unit, there’s just some added risk as well. Since the wardrobe isn’t attached to the home, you’re going to have the risk of the entire piece being stolen. Of course, it’s heavy and difficult to get out of the home. But having that risk present makes it a weaker install point.
Behind a Mirror or Other Surfaces
A mirror in your bathroom or bedroom is a great place to store a more concealed safe. Having the safe attached to your property’s foundation is the most important aspect of having the safe remain secure. Otherwise, the attached unit is at a bigger risk.
Ground Floor Wall Corners
Placing your safe in the wall is the most secure positioning in terms of structure. Also, you should place that safe in a position where there’s as much support as possible between the walls. This is because the ground floor is the most secure and has the best route to the foundation itself. Additionally, it’ll be secured with water protection, hidden from windows, and more.
Safety vs Security
Both components are essential to keep your safe secure. An easily accessible safe with high safety precautions is just as bad as the other way around. Especially if you have children, the safe cannot be easily accessible even with extreme security precautions. This will be best improved by making it as easily concealable as possible. Anything from painting to match the wall, concealing it under other surfaces, and more.
