Dark mid-range home safe

How it behaves in a house

The S2 mark is why this cabinet sits in the mid-range of a domestic shortlist. It is not a commercial strongroom and it is not a paper fire chest unless the exact size you buy also states a fire duration. Always read the line for the size in front of you — HomeVault is a family of cabinets, not one box.

A key lock avoids dead batteries. It also means you need a second key in a place a trusted person can find. Electronic versions need the same battery habit as any keypad safe.

The listing link opens a current HomeVault S2 page on Safe.co.uk, a specialist UK retailer. Compare sizes there if 18 litres is too tight. This site does not take payment.
