10 Best Home Safes UK 2024 | Yale, Burton and More

This fantastic offering from Master Lock is our no.1 pick as it has everything you could possibly want. Both fire and waterproof, this safe comes with a two-year warranty as well as an after-fire replacement guarantee!

It's the perfect size to hide discreetly in your home, despite having a generous 22.8-litre capacity, which should be more than enough for home valuables and important documents. The back-lit keypad will aid with pin entry, and three 2.5 cm steel bars ensure it's impossible to pry open.

With a two year guarantee and 18.6-litre capacity, there's a lot to like about this safe. In addition to the fact that it comes from trusted lock maker Yale, it features an electronic keypad and a single override key as a backup, as three incorrect pin entries will lock you out.

Including an interior light is a nice touch, as is the ability to insert an external 9v battery to power the keypad in case of any failures. A genuinely great safe to have in the home!

Featuring double-walled steel construction, and drill protection on both the lock and bolts, the Burton Eurovault Aver series are some of the most secure home safes on the market today. They even come with an insurance rating of £4000! 

We've listed the medium size here, but the Aver is available in six different sizes depending on your household needs. The medium is what we would recommend for home use, but the largest is over a meter tall if you have the space for a bigger safe.

While this safe is extremely small, this is actually a huge plus point. If you're looking for something to keep jewellery, collectables, and other small, high-value items, this is the best safe by far!

You'll be able to store up to £40,000 worth of items without worry, thanks to an impressive insurance rating, and its discrete size makes it easy to hide in a corner or alcove. Plus, the felt-lined interior will make sure that nothing gets damaged.

While an hour doesn't sound like a long time, the average house fire doesn't last longer than 20 minutes. This means that the Burton Firebrand will keep your documents and paper money protected if there's a fire.

As well as being tested at temperatures up to 927ºC, this fireproof safe features deadbolts to keep the safe locked if the hinges are cut off. Like many other safes on our list, it's also available in a range of sizes to suit your space requirements.

If you're looking for an affordable yet resilient safe, then the Rottner Saturn is the one for you. It can be risky opting for a cheaper safe, but luckily this option has a fire-resistant seal, making it the best budget choice to protect your valuables in the case of fire.

With two pre-drilled holes, the Rottner is also extremely easy to wall-mount, and its small size makes it convenient to secure out of sight. It even has a one year warranty for some peace of mind. 

We may be stretching the definition of a home safe with this option, but for those who want the best security for high-value items at home, this is the safe for you. Weighing 527 kg, this single key-operated safe weighs 527 kg and is fireproof for 30 minutes and unbreakable!

Obviously, if you're not going to get use out of its £100,000 insurance rating, this safe would be massive overkill in terms of the price versus the value you'll get out of it. However, for those on the upper end of the economic spectrum, this could be a very wise investment.

When shopping for small safes, you'll notice that they often don't come with an insurance rating, leaving you vulnerable in case the worst happens, and unfortunately, neither does this one. However, if you're just looking for a small, safe spot to secure a few of your special bits on a budget, this is an excellent choice.

With a keypad plus 2 extra live-door bolts and pry-resistant hinges, this will still be a toughie to crack. The pack also includes four bolts so you can safely mount the safe to a wall, the floor or a shelf, which again provides extra security.

We'd be surprised if you hadn't already heard of Yale, seeing as nearly every door in the UK has one of their locks on it. With an electronic keypad and manual override key, it offers a little extra security for your valuables. 

Like the previous entry, this option doesn't have an insurance rating, so it will act as more of a deterrent than something to seriously stop anyone determined to get inside. 

You'd be forgiven for having some reservations about the Amazon Basics Home Safe. While you certainly shouldn't be storing anything of real value inside, it needn't be written off completely as it can act as an all-important deterrent to opportunistic thieves.

It's large, with a 50-litre capacity, and has plenty of space for electronics, documents, or any bulkier items. More importantly, it's much more difficult to break into than a drawer or jewellery box. Just make sure your home insurance covers whatever is inside before buying.
