Small Safes

Not everyone needs a large safe — for many homes and offices, a compact, well-built small safe is exactly right for cash, jewellery, passports and important documents. Small doesn't mean insecure: our small safes offer solid steel bodies, quality locks and, on many models, digital keypads and fire protection.

The range includes compact safes from Chubbsafes, Yale, Secuguard and more, in key, combination and electronic locking — including fire-rated document safes.

Getting the most from a small safe

• Always bolt a small safe down — because it's light, anchoring is what stops it being carried away.
• If you're storing paper or passports, pick a fire-rated document model.
• Choose your lock: digital keypad for quick access, combination for no keys, or a simple key lock.
• Measure what you need to fit — documents lie flat, so check internal depth and width.

Frequently asked questions

Are small safes secure?
Yes — for documents, jewellery and cash a quality small safe is very effective. Because it's compact and portable, the key is to bolt it down so it can't simply be picked up and carried off.

Can small safes be fire rated?
Yes. We stock compact fire-rated document safes from brands such as Yale and Chubbsafes that protect paper and valuables from both theft and fire.

What fits in a small safe?
Typically passports and documents, jewellery, cash, small electronics and spare keys. Check the internal dimensions on each product, as documents need to lie reasonably flat.

Should I choose a digital or key small safe?
A digital keypad gives fast, keyless access and lets you change the code; a key or combination lock is simpler with nothing to run flat. All are secure — it comes down to how you like to open it.
