What the AI looks for in Wall Safes
- Stud bay fit
- Fits between studs spaced 16 inches on center, about 14.5 inches of clear width, at the wall's cavity depth A safe that does not fit means cutting framing.
- Mounting
- Screws through the body directly into the studs A safe held only by drywall can be pulled straight out.
- Concealment
- Flush door that can sit behind a picture, mirror or panel A wall safe's main defense is that nobody knows it is there.
- Steel thickness
- Prefer a thicker door, since lower gauge numbers mean thicker steel Thin doors can be pried with hand tools.
Brands that matter
- V-Line: US-made steel quick-access storage.
- SentrySafe: Budget wall safes.
- Barska: Budget wall safes.
What to avoid
- Expecting fire protection, since in-wall safes are rarely fire rated
- Installing a wall safe in an exterior wall without checking for insulation and wiring
