Many people don’t realise how vulnerable their valuable possessions are — until something goes wrong. Jewellery, passports, important documents, spare keys, sentimental items, and even cash savings can all be riskily stored in drawers or cupboards without real protection. For peace of mind and practical security, a professionally installed home safe is one of the most intelligent decisions a homeowner can make.
At Security Masters, we help homeowners across the UK choose and install high-quality, insurance-compliant safes tailored to their lifestyle and risk level. Whether you want to keep jewellery safe while on holiday or secure documents in case of fire, we can help you find the right solution — and fit it properly.
Are Domestic Safes Worth the Investment?
It’s a common myth that home safes are only for the wealthy. More and more UK homeowners are choosing to install safes — and for good reason. Burglars are opportunists. If they can access your home, they will likely target obvious storage places: bedside drawers, cupboards, and under the bed.
A safe protects you in more ways than one. It deters theft, prevents loss in emergencies like fire or flooding, and helps ensure you stay covered by your home insurance policy. Some policies even require valuables over a particular value to be locked in a specific type of safe.
Having a secure safe in your home also makes life easier—you won’t have to worry about hiding jewellery before you travel or keeping documents “somewhere safe” when friends or contractors are around.
Choosing the Right Home Safe
The best safe for your home depends on what you need to protect and how often you’ll access it. Jewellery and cash can usually be stored in a wall or floor safe. You might also opt for fireproof or waterproof options for documents, to protect them from more than just burglary.
Popular safe options for homes include:
Underfloor safes
Wall safes
Fire-resistant safes
Digital keypad or biometric models
Our team at Security Masters can help assess your space and recommend the best type of safe for your needs.
Fireproof & Waterproof Protection
For many homeowners, theft isn’t the only risk — safes can protect valuables from accidental damage. Fires, leaks, and even broken boilers can destroy vital paperwork, digital media, and sentimental keepsakes in seconds.
That’s why we offer a full range of fireproof safes for home use, with ratings ranging from 30 minutes to 2 hours of fire resistance. Some safes also provide waterproofing, which is ideal for living in a flood-prone area.
Maintenance and Servicing
Like any security system, your home safe will require occasional servicing. Digital locks need battery replacements, keypads can wear over time, and mechanisms may need lubrication or realignment occasionally.
Our maintenance service includes:
Digital safe resets
Combination safe repairs
Lock inspections and upgrades
We recommend a quick annual check to keep your safe performing at its best.
Locked Out or Moving House?
Any of us can forget a passcode, jam a lock, or simply let a battery run down. It’s frustrating, but Security Masters can resolve it quickly with minimal fuss. Our emergency services are quick, discreet, and, wherever possible, non-destructive. We’ll help you regain access without damaging anything. If your lock needs an upgrade or replacement, we can immediately take care of that.
We also offer professional removal and reinstallation services if you’re moving home or upgrading your safe. Our team has many years of experience moving safes and managing the entire process safely, securely, and with zero hassle.

It’s about keeping what matters safe, even when you’re not there to protect yourself. At Security Masters, we provide expert advice, premium safes, and professional installations that meet the highest standards.
Whether you need a fireproof document safe, a discreet underfloor unit, or a digital model that tracks every access, we’ll help you make the right choice.
