Safe types
Safe types: choose by use and installation
Compare safe types for documents, keys, hotels and deposits. Plan the installation, access and evidence you need before choosing a model.
Start with the right comparison
A safe type describes its intended use and construction. Hotel use raises different access questions from a shared key safe. Deposit safes focus on depositing and retrieving contents, while a wall safe requires early installation planning. Start with the intended use, then compare dimensions, access and documentation for the exact model.
Fire-resistant safes
Choose a fire-resistant safe for the contents you need to protect. Consider paper documents and digital storage media separately.
Read the selection guideWall safes
A wall safe needs a suitable wall construction. Check the structure and manufacturer’s requirements before choosing by external dimensions.
Read the selection guideOutdoor key safes
For an outdoor key safe, the location must match the manufacturer’s approved conditions. Describe the actual weather exposure at the site.
Read the selection guideDeposit safes
A deposit safe can separate depositing from retrieval. Compare your actual operating process with the product documentation.
Read the selection guideHotel safes
A hotel safe needs to be clear for guests and manageable for staff. Start with your guests, installation space and responsibilities.
Read the selection guideThree things to establish
- Contents and use: what do you want to store, and who needs access?
- Location and transport: what internal space, opening clearance and building conditions matter?
- Evidence and requirements: what documentation do you need for the exact model, and which questions must its manufacturer, installer or insurer answer?
The current demo models have no confirmed certifications. These pages organise selection questions and do not assign protection classes to those models. Use documentation for the eventual real product when making a model-specific choice.
