House safe

Robti · 8th March 2016, 06:17

Well a long shot but does anyone have any info on house safes, my mother is in need of one and I don't know where to start.

At the moment I was looking at one in Costco but it appears to get a bad write up in the USA it's a 35l 1hour Fire safe.

So any help appreciated ?

Thanks

My honest advise is to go to your local lock-smiths and get a decent one for about 60-70 quid.

You can break into the cheapo ones with a pair of scissors.... trust me on this lol

Arguably the best available for domestic use.

I use one of these,

Remember your insurers will not consider the contents covered by your insurance if you have a keyed model and then keep the key at home.

As for fire resistance, you are very unlikely to need this, but properly fire resistant safes run into ££££'s for very small ones.

We use a gun safe, which was already installed in the house as it used to be a police station.
