How to pick a home safe that actually protects what you put in it.
Not every 'safe' is a safe. Cheap import boxes with a keypad on the front are little more than a lockable drawer.
Cash rating
Look for a documented cash rating — not a marketing claim.
Fire rating
For paper documents, a 60-minute fire rating is a sensible minimum.
Installation
An unbolted safe walks. Always floor- or wall-anchor.
