Floor Safes

About

Floor safes provide concealed, in-ground protection for cash, documents, jewelry, and other valuables. Installed in concrete with the door sitting near floor level, they limit access to the sides and back of the safe and can be hidden beneath flooring or another cover. Dean Safe carries floor safes from Stealth, AMSEC, and Hollon in several sizes for homes and businesses. Compare each model’s opening size, interior depth, door construction, lock type, and installation requirements before choosing. Why Choose a Floor Safe? Strong concealment: The recessed door can be covered to keep the safe out of sight. Burglary resistance: Correct installation in concrete restricts access to the safe body. Space options: Choose compact models for cash and documents or larger models for bulkier valuables. Lock choices: Available models may include mechanical combination or electronic locks. What to Look For Focus on the usable opening, interior dimensions, door thickness, locking bolts, hardplate and relocker protection, and whether the door is hinged or lift-out. A hinged door with lift assistance is generally easier to open, while a lift-out door may work well where overhead clearance is limited. Floor safes are best for valuables you do not need every day. Because moisture can enter an in-floor installation, keep documents and moisture-sensitive items inside sealed waterproof containers. Floor Safe FAQs Are floor safes fireproof?

The safe is typically set into a prepared opening and surrounded by concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Professional installation is recommended when
