New Safe For the Boss

sherwood

We have a friend whose house was broken into earlier last week and a lot of small stuff was taken. Now the Boss wants a small safe that she can use for her small personal stuff(jewlery). The basement gun safe will not do. Can anybody recomend one? I would like to buy a small one and bolt it to the floor in one of the closets. Any ideas? Thanks.

Look at a in-floor safe. Can be easily covered with carpet or rug. Keep an end table over it.

I have a small Sentry fire safe like this one: http://www.sentrysafe.com/Products/381/CSW3607_Electronic_FIRE-SAFE_

that IU use for small items. Mine is an older version that does not have bold down hardware, but being inventive, and having metalworking tools makes that a non-issue

Keep an eye on Craigslist. Small safes come up all the time.

If you're protecting your valuables from theft, a small safe is just a suitcase for a thief.
If recommend either a hidden safe as JPB stated. Some of the new ones that are in wall mounted can be great for smaller items and hidden with a picture.

Sentry makes good safes. Stay away from the Bunker Hill brand, sold at Harbor Freight. You have to have the door open to replace the battery in the electronic lock.

Small safes have their uses. While our guns and expensive jewelry is now kept in a large safe, for years I only had a gun cabinet and a small safe for the wifes family jewelry. While renting I was unable to secure it to the wall studs or floor, so stacked 4 cynder blocks to act as a stand for it and ran a cable from the inside of the safe through all the blocks. While not perfect or fool proof, it sure would have slowed down a burglar trying to get in and out quickly.
