A high quality fire rated home safe should have many of the following features as standard:

  1. High Security – features such as a double bitted key lock or electronic lock, strong locking bolts on the door, a double walled body and doors, as well as base and/or rear fixing options to prevent burglars from easily removing it from your home are all things to look out for.  All three safes listed above come with a variety of high security features as standard.
  2. Fireproof – a good fireproof safe should provide a minimum of 30-60 minutes fire protection for paper documents.
  3. Tested & Certified – the best fire safes are independently tested and certified to meet European safety standards, police approvals and the requirements of insurance companies – more on this below.
  4. Insurer Approved – the best safes are approved to meet the criteria set within home insurance policies offered by all major insurance providers. If you find yourself in the unfortunate positon of having to make a claim against your home insurance policy, this will be taken into account in relation to a pay-out.  All three of our best fire safe options provide a minimum of £2,500 cash cover to £4,000 cash cover and £25,000 to £40,000 jewellery cover.  Larger sizes will have greater cover to take into account their increased capacities.
  5. Multiple Sizes with Removable shelves – this helps to ensure that all customers can find one in a size that will suit its proposed contents.  Removable shelves also make your fire rated home safe more customisable to reflect the size and shape of the items you wish to store in it.
