The 10 Best Floor Safes

The electronic lock on the Amsec B1500 Super Brute Rectangular (appx. $638) features an illuminated keypad to make entry much easier if you install it in a dimly lit space, like under a desk or bed in your home. Its carpeted interior will protect your belongings from scratches.

Perhaps the most convenient thing about the Protex IF-1212SC (about $222) is its drop slot, which allows you to deposit items of a certain size without having to actually open it up. That's ideal in locations where other people might be able to see you enter a combination.

The drill-resistant hard plate on the Hollon B2500 (about $569) is incredibly effective at preventing anyone from bypassing the lock with the help of power tools, dramatically increasing the time it would take to dismantle it and gain access to your goods.

The Protex IF-3000C (appx. $346) features a powder-coated finish that helps its exterior resist corrosion in environments that might be susceptible to moisture. Its internal dead bar makes it practically impossible for a would-be thief to pry the door open.

The polyethylene construction of the Hayman FS4000B (about $840) makes it one of the best options you can choose if you're worried about ingress from water or dust. Its body is also rustproof, so you can rest assured that it won't be compromised by time or wear.

At nearly 90 pounds, the Barska Steel In-Ground (about $406) would be terribly difficult to remove from wherever you install it, and cumbersome to get away with if it could even be pried loose. For its price, however, it's unfortunate that its walls are just 1/16 of an inch thick.

Depending on the space in which you intend to install it, the rounded edges of the Amsec C7 Star (around $683) might be just the thing to allow it to fit. Its bolts would require an excess of 25,000 pounds of force to shear, making this a tamper-proof selection.

The Tracker Safe FS121514-DLG (appx. $365) possesses a hinged door that's half an inch thick, which is relatively in line with much of its class. Its body is 11-gauge steel, however, making it one of the more robust options on the market.

The combination that allows you to get into your Hollon B1500 In-Ground (appx. $543) is preprogrammed by the manufacturer, saving you the hassle during setup. There is no way to reset it, though, so make sure you commit it to memory, or copy it down where you won't forget it.

The Barska AX12656 (about $69) boasts a large lip around its edges as well as predrilled mounting holes, making it easy for most people to install. Its solid steel construction and well-fashioned hinge should provide customers with plenty of peace of mind.
