Stealth Floor Safes

Combining Made in USA quality with advanced security features, the Stealth Floor Safe series is the absolute best value for floor safes. With a 1/2" steel plate door, 12 gauge steel body, three 1" steel bolts, internal hinge, UL Rated Mechanical or Electronic Lock, Rockwell Hardplate and internal relocker, these safes are made with the best quality materials. They are also backed by a 2 year parts and labor warranty with a 5 year warranty on the hinges and welds. Some additional features include a chrome handle, bolt detent, and door piston that helps lift the heavy door up after the combination is entered.

AMSEC Super Brute

Featuring three to five 1" diameter locking bolts, a 3/4" solid steel plate door and a heavy duty dead bar, the Super Brute home floor safe line provides excellent burglary resistance with the ability to fit more items inside. While tube bodies are considered a small floor safe, the Super Brute line is both secure and spacious. These ground safes are also considered near fireproof floor safes however they don't actually have a fire rating. Since heat rises, the flames don't affect items in a floor safe.

Hollon B-Rated Floor Safes

A floor safe is sunk into concrete, so it isn’t going anywhere without a jackhammer! Thieves cannot access the sides or rear of the safe and they cannot manipulate or drill it. This makes a Hollon Floor Safe a great choice in protecting your valuables whether you are using it in your home or your business. Hollon Floor Safes feature a 1/2” thick solid steel door, five chrome plated solid steel locking bolts and a U.L. listed Group 2 lock, with relocker to protect against burglary attempts. It has a drill resistant hard plate to protect the lock and a full length dead bar as well as an air-spring bar to enable easy opening of the door.

Floor Safe Design

A floor safe sits flush with the level of the floor. A cover plate fits over the top of the floor safe, and this protects the lock and handle because the door is recessed down a couple of inches. This is great because the "cover plate" can be covered with the same carpet or floor covering of the room it's in, virtually making it invisible. A burglar can walk right over the top of it and not know it's there! If it's in a garage with a concrete slab, put a drip pan over it and park your car on it. Talk about concealment!

Fire Protection

Since the safe is installed into the floor and then surrounded by concrete, fire protection just doesn't get any better. Concrete is the best when it comes to fire protection. Heat (and flames) rise, so a safe installed in the ground surrounded by concrete is definitely going to be fire protected. In my 40 plus years of experience, I have never seen the contents of a correctly installed in-the-floor safe compromised by fire. Additionally, in-the-floor safes have consistently outperformed some of the world's best fire safes in the same fire. Note, by correctly installed, I mean that it should be completely surrounded on all sides and bottom by at least three inches of concrete. (Click for instructions on the proper installation of floor safes.)

Construction

A correctly installed safe has at least three inches of concrete on all sides and underneath. Since the door is the only part of the safe exposed to attack, it should be made of steel and well built. Most floor safes have a "B" insurance rating (less than 1-inch thick, often 1/2-inch) or "C" rating (1-inch thick) door. Some of these doors can be really heavy, so check out the type of door each safe has. Some are lift-out doors, where you actually lift the door off the safe, can weigh up to 30 pounds. Others have attached doors with a hinge and have a gas strut, spring, or hydraulic lift which helps open the door. This way you aren't lifting the full weight of the door. Hinged doors offer a larger opening than lift-out doors and are easier to use. The lock on a floor safe can be a manual dial combination, push-button digital combination, or even key locks. The locks should be protected by hardened steel plates and/or relocking devices. Key locks are less secure, but may be more convenient in a commercial application.

Possible Drawbacks

With the burglary and fire protection available with a quality floor safe, anyone can feel completely confident storing just about anything in them, including paperwork, gold coins, cash, and jewelry.
