I tested seven of the best home safes that cost under $200 to see how they stand up to fire, water, and blunt force attacks. I also talked to four industry experts. We put each of the safes through several objective tests to determine which models are best for different budgets and protection needs. The Viking Security Safe VS-20BLX Mini Biometric Safe is our top choice for the best home safe with two motorized 20-millimeter steel deadbolts that made it the most difficult to pry open. It use a passcode or fingerprint scan to open and has thoughtful features like an LED interior. If you're looking for a fireproof safe, the SentrySafe HD4100 Box kept valuables and documents intact in both our fireproof and waterproof tests.
Just like the best home safes, other personal and home security devices are important to have. We have tested the best smart locks and the best video doorbells so you can have no doubts about their security. We didn't test gun safes for this guide because they tend to be more expensive and aren't what many people look for when looking to secure documents or a few valuables. We are hoping to expand our coverage to include gun safes for a separate guide in the future.
The Mini Biometric Safe is relatively light, which could make it easy to steal. Fortunately, it comes with bolts for securing it to the floor or a wall, which we recommend doing. The safe is not fireproof or waterproof, so consider protecting your contents with fireproof bags.
Two unique features of the Viking Security Safe were an LED that illuminates the safe's interior and a beep that lets you know if you left the door unlocked. We found these features helpful and worth the extra cost.
The Amazon Basics safe is easy to open using a three-to-eight-digit PIN or a key. Setup was simple, though it was hard to see the black battery cover and passcode reset button against the black interior.
The thick dual deadbolts made bashing in the door a difficult task, but within three minutes, we got in using a 4-pound sledgehammer. Since the safe is so light and you can access the contents with blunt force, we recommend bolting the safe down in a covert spot with the four provided bolts.
The SentrySafe HD4100 Fireproof Safe was the only safe to pass our water and fire tests. The safe is ETL verified to stay waterproof when submerged in water for up to 72 hours. We submerged the safe for 45 hours, and the interior remained dry. It's UL classified as fireproof when exposed to temperatures up to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit for half an hour. We threw the safe in a fire for about 25 minutes, and the paper and digital media we put inside were unharmed.
Before destroying the safe in the fire test, I used it to protect my valuables for about a year. The spacious interior was enough for my important files. Since we put this safe through the fire test, we couldn't test how easy it was to break into, but from personal experience, the locking mechanism feels flimsy.
While it's somewhat cumbersome to carry, a motivated burglar could easily remove the safe from your home. There are no bolts for securing it. I kept the safe hidden in an air fryer box in a hard-to-access spot in my basement to keep it inconspicuous.
In general, you don't want a safe that is easy to move because it's easy to steal. If theft of the safe isn't a concern, the SentrySafe 1200 Fireproof Box is an affordable way to transport small items under lock and key.
The SentrySafe Fireproof Box is UL classified to handle temperatures up to 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit for half an hour. After putting it in a fire for about 25 minutes, the papers, USB drive, and microSD card inside remained unharmed, though we destroyed the safe. It isn't waterproof, but the box's contents stayed dry when we doused it with water to put out the fire.
The safe comes with two keys, the only way to open it. You can't remove the key while it's unlocked, ensuring you don't accidentally lock the keys inside. The safe also has a handle for easy transport.
This depends on what you what to safeguard and what you are protecting it from. If you're trying to protect important documents from floods or fires, you can get by with a smaller safe that is ETL verified or UL rated to protect against these hazards.
However, if you have larger valuables, including rifles, that you are looking to keep safe from burglars, you'll want a heavy-duty safe. John Dean recommended looking for a UL residential security container (RSC) burglary rating to ensure a safe will keep your valuables secure.
Louis Chavez, the global principal engineer in UL's Built Environment group, outlined how UL tests safes that receive RSC designation. "RSCs are generally used in residential homes and should comply with UL 1037, the Standard for Antitheft Alarms and Devices," he said. UL 1037 involves using hand tools you'd commonly find in the home to attack the safe for up to 10 minutes.
We put each safe in this guide through several objective tests. Though the most important features will vary based on your situation, the experts we talked to recommend choosing a fireproof safe that is hard to move and break into.
Portability: If a safe is light enough to steal, a burglar will get into it, says John Dean, owner of Dean Safe, who has 50 years of experience in the industry. All of the safes we tested were relatively light. The heaviest was only about 42 pounds. We gave preference to safes that came with bolts for secure mounting.
Security: UL, the leading safe certification company, rates residential safes (UL Standard 1037) based on five to 10 minutes of attack time using common hand tools, such as a pry bar and hammers. We used a small pry bar and a 4-pound sledgehammer to try to breach the safes and access the contents. None of the safes we tested took more than five minutes to access. We rated them based on difficulty. Our top pick was the hardest. The Jssmst book safe was the easiest, taking my seven-year-old one minute to open.
Fire: Some of the safes we tested were UL Class 350 half-hour rated. This rating means that when the safe is exposed to temperatures of 1,550 degrees Fahrenheit, the internal temp won't exceed 350 degrees for at least half an hour. This makes the safe suitable for paper products but not digital media. Still, we put paper documents and digital media in the UL-rated safes and put them in a fire for 25 minutes. We then removed the safes and inspected the contents. Since fire destroys a safe, we couldn't put the fire-tested safes through the security test above. We'll be getting additional samples to break open in the future.
Water: Two of the fireproof safes were designated as waterproof. We tested these claims by putting paper towels and a magazine in each safe and submerging them in just enough water to cover them completely. After at least 22 hours, we checked the safes to see if the contents were dry. Only the SentrySafe HD4100 remained dry.
Ease of use: We assessed whether we needed instructions to set up the safe and whether any features made it hard or easy to use. We also timed how long it took to open the safes using each available method. None of the safes took more than 10 seconds to open.
Safe at Home is a confidential address program administered by the California Secretary of State's office and is most effective when used as a part of an overall safety plan. Safe at Home offers victims of domestic violence, stalking, sexual assault, human trafficking & elder and dependent abuse, as well as reproductive health care workers, a substitute mailing address to receive first class, certified, and registered mail. This address is also accepted by California state, county, and city government agencies in lieu of a residential or other mailing address where a victim can be tracked down, keeping the residence address confidential and out of the hands of someone who might want to harm the victim.
Placer County was among the first in California to receive a competitive grant to implement Home Safe in 2019. With the success of the program, Home Safe funding is now available each year to every county statewide. All told, Home Safe has now served 158 Placer County residents, with 85% of graduated clients still reporting successful outcomes during subsequent followup and others having required higher levels of care or passed on. About a third of Home Safe clients come from homelessness, while the rest are at imminent risk of losing housing.
