So you’re thinking about installing a wall safe? Well there are quite a few important factors you should think about before you make your decision. But if you follow this helpful guide you’ll soon realise why a wall safe will be such a great choice for you.

1. Wall safes are very easy to hide. If you’re doing things on the cheap you can easy just throw up a plain old poster. However it’s recommended that you secure a mirror, bookshelf or something more substantial in front of the wall safe. What I wouldn’t recommend is to place a painting in front of it. The first thing a thief will do is to throw all the paintings he sees of their walls. A detachable mirror on the other provides a greater chance of fooling the thief.

2. Free standing safes take up a lot of room and because of this it’s recommended that you cover them up or hide them, and once you’ve done this you’ll realise that a freestanding safe will take up a lot more room than what you first considered. Wall safes on the other hand, take up absolutely no space at all since they’re cut into the wall itself. This is a major advantage if you’re located in a small city apartment block that is low on space.

3. A Wall safe is just far easier to access than a free standing or floor safe. You can open them at standing height so you don’t have to bend down like you do for a freestanding or floor safe. The door openings tend to much wider than floor safes which have circular canisters placed on their tops and you won’t have to remove some carpet, tiles or floorboards as you might have to do when accessing a floor safe.

4. Wall safes can be placed quite a way up the wall so they’re excellent if you’re looking for a home safe since inquisitive children will be out of reach. Also because wall safes are hidden, visitors and guests who are passing through your home or office will come and go without noticing the safe; however the same can’t be said for a freestanding safe.

5. Finally one of the best reasons to get a wall safe installed is that the installation and delivery comes free of charge. This is a major bonus point if you think of all the advantages that a wall safe brings over a free standing safe and then you consider that the wall safe comes with free installation and delivery – suddenly a wall safe seems like the perfect choice for your home and office security needs.
