Here is a favorite wall safe among customers. The model 2070A by Honeywell Safes.  Good size and easy to install.  The depth is 4.12 inches which fits snugly into standard 2×4 wall set up.  Don’t let the .12 scare you, it fits nicely.  We sell this safe across the country and I have never had a complaint from anyone.  It is a popular wall safe with many folks.  About the only complaint I’ve ever heard of on it was when we sell out!  This has happened a couple of times but Honeywell Safes has increased production to meet demand. 

This wall safe comes with an electronic lock and a key override in case the batteries go dead.  On the negative side, its not what I would call a high security wall safe.  Though it does have the best security measure that wall safes offer…which is hidden security.  Needless to say if the wall safe is found it could be crowbared open within a few minutes.  But realistically most thieves don’t carry crow bars. Most enter our homes empty handed, spend 3-8 minutes in the home, and leave with hands full.  The time it would take to look for a wall safe or pry their way into it takes way longer then the average thief is willing to spend at the CHANCE a wall safe might be in a house. 

Over all it good quality, easy to install and reliable.  It gets my thumbs up as one of the great wall safes.

Wall Safe model WS-DIY is from Fire Fyter Safes. WS-DIYe is the same safe but with an electronic keypad. This is one of the few 1 hour fireproof wall safes on the market.  This first thing you will notice about it is that it has a much deeper depth.  Better find a really good place for it with a lot of available depth. I does come with a good set of instructions on how to install it.

This wall safe comes with mounting brackets and an adjustable shelf.  Mounts flush and is easy to hide with a picture or wall hanging of your choice.

I often get questions regarding if a dial or keypad is better.  Well, there are two points of view.  I have copied a paper from Valuesafes that covers this very well.

Wall Safe model FF-33 is one of the least expensive wall safes on the market today. Made in the USA.  (really!)

 Quick  and easy to install. Comes with instructions.  Fast opening key lock. Cam style.  Below are the specs from the manufacturer website.  But lets point out that its NOT a high security wall safe.  It does take advantage of what every security measure that a wall safe offers.  Its hidden, nobody can find it.  And that is the best security for any safe in your home or office.

There is a down side.  If a thief was to find it AND the had a crow bar, it wouldn’t take them long to break into the wall safe.  However, that someone finds a wall safe is not very common. Put someplace where you can hide it and cover it up.  This is the best protection.  Overall qualilty is very good for a wall safe of this price range. 

The wall safe itself is not fireproof. If you need a fireproof wall safe see the WS-DIY.

High Security Wall Safe model WS6B is one of the top notch wall safes on the market. B rated with drill resistant hardplate. (Hardplate has to be melted and is placed over the lock on the inside of the safe).  Thick 1/4 inch steel walls and back plate. Designed to hold up against crow bar and sledge hammer attacks. 

Note the 3 holes on the side for mounting to studs or some folks even concrete this wall safe into place.  Its important to point out that this safe will hold up but you better make sure to find a good hiding place anyway.  Also, it will only be as secure as the wall you mount it too.

Also includes one of my favorite, made in Kentucky, Group II, Sargent & Greenleaf, dial combination locks.

Non Fireproof but high on security gives this model a thumbs up for best wall safe on the market.  I’ve seen this sell for as much as $750 but I saw it the other day on www.ValueSafes.com for sale at $499. and that included shipping. Check out their Wall Safes.

The Wall Safe model SW-1214c is good model. Easy to install and hide. Depth is larger than 2×4 stud wall.  So find a deeper spot than normal to install it.  This is not a high security wall safe.  Only the Group II combination lock keeps this safe closed.  It will hold up okay in an attack but not as good as one that is secured with several bolts. See the picture above to see how the locks bolt keeps the door closed. While you are looking at the picture, you will see two holes in the side. That is where you will send two screws through to attach to the studs in the wall. (If it were me, I will drill a third hole in the center so I would have three screws in each stud for extra security)

 This safe is not fireproof.  It is designed to keep your shtuff hidden and out of the hands of thieves.  So find a good hidding place for this safe. Don’t forget your attic, there are many spaces in the attic to attach a wall safe too. I have never heard a home owner complain that a thief took ANYTHING from an attic. It is very inconvient, which makes it a good hiding spot for your wall safe.

The EW-03 Wall Safe is the “big brother” to the EW-02 wall safe. Which is a highly regarded wall safe. Though neither are a B rated wall safe. Both should hold up against an attack very well.  Read my EW-02 wall safe posting for some details that I may miss here.

The big difference is the size. The EW-03 is larger and has an extra bolt to support the larger door. Depth is about the same on both models which is around 7 1/2 inches. This will not fit in the standard 2×4 wall. 

The other day I had a question about “What happens if the batteries go dead?” Thats okay, this safe has an external overide that will open it from the outside of the safe. You will still need the combination AND the key to retract the bolts.  The memory of the keypad is “non-volatile” which means it will not reset to factory code if the battery goes dead. It WILL maintain that 6 digit combo that you put into it.  So if you forget your combo….you can’t get inside the wall safe. 

Over all this safe gets high marks for quality and price.  I would not hesistate to install this wall safe in my own home.  Due find a good hiding place for it that is well covered and out of the way.  Some times bathrooms make a great place to install a wall safe.

This wall safe is not fireproof.  Most wall safes are just steel. However, there are several available in the industy. Fireproof Wall Safe WS-DIY is a good model take a look on www.ValueSafes.com

Based on the thickness of the bolts at 7/8 inch…which might as well be a 1 inch bolt in my opinion.  You have the makings for a high security wall safe.  Except without the drill resistant hardplate.  Which for my experience with safes in general, I have NEVER seen a safe attacked with a drill!  I have seen every tool under the sun PLUS metal mop buckets, broom handles, and chairs used on safes. (This should give you an idea of the desperation of a thief and the endurance of safes).

I really like this safe model and its big brother the EW-03for an extremly well built wall safein its price range.  Be careful of the depth. Its deeper than the standard wall that is 2×4.  So this one will need a special place.  

Another thing to point out is that I would like to see added to this safe is more mounting holes on the left and right side of the wall safe.  You can add these real quick by just drilling extra holes with a standard drill and bit.  If you will take the time to add these and then use these holes.  This wall safe will be very tightly fastened to the wall studs.  I also prefer screws. 

If you are in a new construction building that uses metal studs be sure to use a “self taping screw” available from any hardware store.  Also use a washer or lock washer on the inside of the safe for best security.  So if your wall safe doesn’t come with three holes just add them.

Over all I give this safe a thumbs up for construction and protection against theft.  There is no fire rating in this model.  You can purchase this model from ValueSafes on their wall safes section.
