Home Safes to Protect Your Valuables

Protect Your Personal Property With a Home Safe
With Lowe’s diverse array of safes, you can upgrade and personalize your personal security measures. Whether you want to stash away an emergency fund or store documents, we’ve got the perfect hardware for your privacy needs. Waterproof file safes are fantastic for protection in home offices, while chest safes are great for traveling and portability. Gun safes keep weapons out of reach of children, while biometric safes ensure that only you have access to your belongings. Browse our extensive selection of safes — including mini safes, small safes and large safes — to be one step closer to heightened home security.

Home Safes
There are many versatile home safes to choose from, but the most basic is one with a keypad lock. Digitizing your safe’s security adds an extra level of protection and allows you to provide access for trusted family members. If you’d like a more discreet option that can fit plenty of items, check out our large wall safes. Hiding them behind paintings or tapestry will attract less attention while allowing you to store large belongings. How about if you want a safe that’s hassle-free but still easy to hide? Then consider our cash and check safes, some of which are portable enough to bring along to the bank if needed.

File Safes
Are you a remote worker who needs a place to store sensitive documents? Then opt for one of our file safes, which are designed to secure information within a file organization system. Consider a fireproof keyed safe or a water-resistant option to keep your information protected regardless of what happens outside the hardware. If you need to carry your documents on the go, consider a file tote. Portable safes at Lowe’s come in combination- or key- lock options. A document safe not only protects items like birth certificates and Social Security cards but also helps keep you organized by creating a single space for all of your important paperwork.

Drop Safes
If you’re in a corporate office building, you may need to invest in a drop safe. This kind of safe has a small slot for envelopes or papers to be dropped in through, but can only be accessed through a secure door. Drop safe boxes are ideal for securing documents, cash and checks, or other sensitive items.

Gun Safes
Gun owners should handle their weapons responsibly, and that responsibility includes storing them safely and securely. This is critically important if you’re storing a gun in a home where children are present. Lowe’s has an expansive gun safe collection, including biometric gun safes. You lock and unlock biometric safes using your fingerprint. You can ensure that only you have access to the safe and can also open the door quickly in the event of an emergency. Find the best gun safe for your home by shopping our wide selection of options in various sizes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where should you put a safe in your house?

A: It depends on how you’re using your safe. If you’re using it to store important documents, such as birth certificates and Social Security cards, you should put your safe someplace where you’ll have easy access to it. Good locations might be on a bookshelf, in a closet or in a drawer next to your bed. If you use a safe to store guns, you may want to consider putting it somewhere with low visibility, such as in a basement. Some homeowners even choose to hide their safes in a wall. Installation may require help from a professional, but it results in a well-secured safe that’s easy both to access and to hide.

Q: What’s the average cost of a safe?

A: There are so many different types of safes that it’s difficult to provide an average price. For example, you can find a small safe to store jewelry and important documents for $100 to $200, while most large gun safes start at $1,000. Shop with our price filter on Lowes.com to easily find a safe within your budget.

Q: Should I bolt my safe to the floor?
