Wall Safes & Hidden Safes | In-Wall & Concealed Home Protection

What Are Wall Safes?

Wall safes (also called in-wall safes or hidden wall safes) are a type of safe designed to be concealed between wall studs, providing the perfect home wall safe solution. Available in both standard and deep wall safe designs, these safes integrate seamlessly into your home without sacrificing valuable living space. From small wall safes perfect for jewelry to large wall safes for more extensive storage, wall-mounted safes offer homeowners a reliable way to safeguard valuables while maintaining your home's aesthetic appeal.

Key Benefits of Wall Safes:

• Space-Saving Design: Perfect in-wall safe installation between standard wall studs with no lost floor space.
• Concealment: Choose wall-mounted safes that hide behind artwork, mirrors, or blend with home decor.
• Convenient Access: Install your wall safe at the ideal height for easy access to jewelry and valuables.
• Deterrent to Thieves: Best wall safe security since hidden wall safes are harder to find than floor safes.

Types of Wall Safes

When selecting the best wall safe for your home, it's important to understand the two main types of in-wall safes:

1. Standard Wall Safes

• Depth: Designed to fit standard 4" and 6" residential wall depths between studs
• Installation: Easy wall safe installation, ideal for DIY or quick professional setup.
• Best For: Satisfying the need for a secure home wall safe for jewelry, valuables, and everyday protection.

2. Deep Wall Safes

• Depth: Large wall safe design at 15" to 16" deep for maximum storage.
• Installation: Professional installation recommended - these safes typically require sturdy wood bracing between studs to support the weight of these safes. They are typically installed in low-traffic areas like walls facing closets or under stairs, where the deeper portion of the safe remains hidden and secure.
• Best For: Applications requiring either maximum storage space or fire-resistance protection, as fire-resistant safes require the additional depth for protective insulation and reinforced walls.

Choosing the Right Lock for Your Safe

Selecting the best wall safe lock type is crucial for both security and convenience. Here are the main options for your home wall safe:

Installation Considerations

Proper wall safe installation ensures maximum security and functionality:

• Most in-wall safes are designed to fit between studs spaced 16 inches apart. This standard wall stud spacing provides approximately 14-1/2 inches of clear space for your wall safe installation.
  
• Small wall safes can often be a DIY home installation project between studs.
• Deep wall safes typically need professional mounting due to their size and weight.
• Best wall safe locations include behind doors, inside closets, or concealed by artwork for added security.
• Wall mounted safes with decorative fronts need minimal installation, often mounting directly to wall studs or drywall.

Installing A Typical Wall Safe

Common Misconceptions About Wall Safes

1. Myth: Deep wall safes can fit in a standard wall.
   Reality: Due to their thick, insulated walls, fire-resistant safes are typically 15"-16" deep and require special installation.
2. Myth: In-wall safes work with any stud spacing.
   Reality: Most wall safes are designed for standard 16" stud spacing.
3. Myth: Regular safes can be converted to wall safes.
   Reality: For the best wall safe security, choose safes specifically designed for in-wall installation. Converting free-standing safes into wall safes isn't recommended.
