Safes for the Home: Secure Your Valuables with Confidence
When it comes to protecting your most valuable possessions—passports, jewellery, cash, legal documents or digital data—a high-quality home safe is one of the smartest investments you can make. At Safe Within The Box, we specialise in safes for the home, providing solutions that are secure, discreet, and tailored to UK insurance standards.
Why You Need a Safe at Home
Even in areas with low crime rates, opportunistic theft can happen in seconds. While home insurance may cover financial loss, it can’t replace the emotional value of personal items or the inconvenience of stolen passports or documents.
A well-chosen home security safe will:
- Deter burglars and opportunists
- Protect your items from fire and flood damage
- Keep your valuables hidden and inaccessible
- Help meet insurance compliance requirements
For extra peace of mind, we offer both fire resistant safes and cash-rated safes—ideal for storing valuables and sensitive documents.
What to Consider When Buying a Home Safe
Choosing the right safe for your home depends on what you need to store, where it will be installed, and what insurance cover you require. Here are some key considerations:
1. Insurance Rating
For high-value items, opt for an insurance-rated safe with an EN1143-1 or EN14450 certification. This is essential if you want to comply with your home insurance policy, especially for cash or valuables over £1,000. If you are ever in doubt, your 1st call is to a jeweller to professionally value items.
2. Fire Protection
A fire-resistant safe can protect critical documents, backup drives, and even cash for up to 120 minutes in extreme heat. Make sure you choose one with a certified fire rating for paper and/or digital media.
3. Locking Mechanism
From traditional key locks to advanced digital keypads, we offer safes with various locking options. For maximum security, consider a dual-lock system combining key and code.
4. Size and Internal Layout
If you’re storing folders, cameras, or multiple passports, make sure your safe is internally big enough. Look for home safes with shelves or customisable interiors to keep items organised.
5. Installation and Anchoring
A safe is only as secure as its installation. Our safe fitting service ensures your unit is bolted securely into concrete or a wall stud, deterring removal by burglars.

Where to Install a Safe at Home
Choosing the right location can increase your safe’s effectiveness. We recommend:
- Fixing to a concrete floor in a cupboard or wardrobe
- Avoiding obvious locations like the main bedroom
- Using professional installation to maximise strength and insurance compliance
Some customers even opt for a smaller, accessible safe for daily use and a second, more secure unit for long-term storage.
