Securikey Mini Vault Gold FR
A compact vault that tries to do two household jobs at once: a tested steel body and a stated period of protection for paper. That combination is why it sits above a basic electronic chest on this list.
| Typical claim | About 30 minutes for paper on FR models |
|---|---|
| Lock | Key or electronic keypad |
| Example large size | About H 532 × W 374 × D 425 mm · around 40 litres |
| Weight | Often 25–60 kg depending on size — two people for the larger ones |
| Fixing | Floor and wall points, bolts included |
How it behaves in a house
Read whether the fire figure is for paper only. A paper test does not automatically cover USB drives or photographs. If digital media matter, look for a separate media rating or keep a copy off-site.
The interior on smaller FR sizes is tighter than the outside suggests, because insulation takes volume. If you want A4 folders standing up, check the internal height on the sheet rather than the external one.
