There are many different types of safe that ensures your valuables are protected and stored out of sight. Yet another solution is a diversion safe. This type of safe is disguised as an everyday object, such as a wall socket, paint can, soup can, cleaning fluid bottle or other. As you can imagine, these safes are a variety of different sizes to authentic next to the genuine objects that they imitate. Also, many types are weighted correctly.
Diversion Safes are a ingenious portable safe solution. They are not needed to be maintained, are inexpensive and there is no fitting or upheaval finding a place for them. The majority of Diversion Safes are sealed with a screw base as the main security feature is the fact they are hidden and not suspected as anything valuable.
Diversion safes can be a great solution for very small high value items such as jewelery or papers. For a simple, security solution they are well worth a look.
The downside with diversion safes is if they are found. Once they are discovered they are simply screw top devices and your valuables are accessed within seconds.
There are more comprehensive solutions when you get to a more conventional type of safe. The security is based upon locking mechanisms, there are hand, biometric, key code and key locking mechanisms available and these vary in security levels and price.
In addition to this, items stored in conventional or diversion safes are still susceptible to fire with these units so do consider, and be aware of this before purchase. If you feel that a higher level of security or security with added fire protection is needed you will have to look at a more substantial safe solution. Fire Safes will achieve this but will need professional fitting.
So, to keep everything safe, you don't necessarily have to store things where people can't find them!
