Security Underfoot With An In-Floor Safe

Hide Your Valuables

In-Floor or Underfloor safes are ideal for discretely storing your valuables and cash. They can be fitted with a good quality key lock or a number spin combination lock, and are usually reinforced with a hardened steel anti-drill plate. Some safes also include locking pins or indirect locking bolt-work which can make jacking or prising open the door very difficult. Today, safes are designed and constructed using the latest materials and technological techniques for extra strength to hinder a thief’s attack.

Within Easy Reach

Most floor safes are around 300mm square with the same kind of depth to the base. Not being too deep, items on the bottom of the safe can therefore be more easily retrieved. Floor safes’ interiors are also mostly covered with a soft flock material to help prevent scratches to valuables. Some floor safe models include a quick deposit facility to speedily and securely deposit small important items, such as precious coins, into a safe compartment. Valuables such as jewellery can be kept in the compartment for extra protection, especially in extreme cases where the possibility of flooding exists.

A Good Time to Install An In-Floor Safe

A good time to consider an in-floor safe is when you are building a new home, or office, or even renovating an existing one. If a concrete slab is involved, it is a great idea to make allowances for the installation of an in-floor safe. Having an in-floor safe installed professionally at the time of building can keep your termite certification in tact while providing an excellent form of security. A floor safe can also be installed into wooden flooring, choosing a size to fit running parallel in the space between the floor joists. The room’s floor plan, and the size and cash rating required of the safe needs to be carefully examined before choosing the appropriate safe for your premises.

Hidden Treasure

When an In-Floor safe is installed correctly, the cover plate will be perfectly level with or set flush within the surrounding floor. Or it can be partly recessed into the floor to allow a panel matching your floor to be fitted around the safe. Generally, an in-floor safe is encased within concrete making it very difficult to remove from the floor by a potential thief - either quickly or quietly.

Secretly And Efficiently Concealed

Once you have an in-floor safe correctly installed, it can be covered with a mat or a rug, or even be concealed by placing a couch over the top, making it quite difficult to discover by possible intruders and potential thieves. “It is difficult to steal from something you can’t find!”
