Safes are designed to blend in with their surroundings; floor safes are some of the most inconspicuous types of security boxes. Floor safes are embedded deep into floors so that they look like part of your office or home flooring, and can be covered. This design makes floor safes difficult for robbers to break into as only one side of the safe is exposed. It's also harder to walk away with an entire floor safe whole safe because it's set into the floor.
Convenience is also another factor that you should consider. Electronic locks are a handy addition to floor safes because they make it easier for the owner to open his or her own safe easily and make it easy to change combinations frequently without the assistance of a locksmith.
Safe doors
Since the door is the only part of floor safes exposed, it is important to select a product that has a thick door. Get the most protection with a solid steel door. Make sure that your safe has “relockers” that will render the safe inaccessible in case of forced access.
Fire protection
Just as with other types of safes, make sure that your floor safe has adequate fire protection. As a general rule, you will want to get a safe with a UL rating of 1850° or better to protect your valuables for at least two hours.
Storing valuables
Floor safes are not watertight, and therefore you should consider storing paper and other valuables that could be damaged by water in air-tight containers or bags to protect them from moisture. Safe can be customized with storages compartments of varying sized to maximize your storage space.
