Every year, thousands of Australian homes lose irreplaceable valuables to break-ins, theft, or fire. Hiding cash, jewellery, or documents in the wardrobe doesn’t work against determined thieves. Quality safes in Perth homes are now essential for peace of mind.
Askwith Safe Company makes it easy to choose the right protection, offering options such as deposit safes, fire proof safe options, and expert relocation services. For those seeking extra security, a sturdy floor, wall, or concealed safe [1] keeps your valuables protected in any situation.
Why Home Safes Are Essential in Australia
WA Police Force recorded 1,282 robberies so far in 2025, with 1,149 involving homes and 103 affecting businesses. These figures show thieves often target homes for cash, jewellery, and documents.
Crime Stoppers WA also highlights the scale of the problem. In 2024, they received over 60,000 reports, with about 165 people contacting them every day.
The solution? A professional floor, wall, or concealed safe that protects your valuables from theft, fire, and flood.
What Are Floor, Wall, and Concealed Safes?
Understanding your options will help you make a better choice:
Floor Safes
Install floor safes in concrete or timber flooring to create a hidden, secure space for cash, jewellery, and documents. These safes are difficult for intruders to locate or remove, making them ideal for long-term storage of high-value items that you don’t need to access daily.
Pros:
- High security: Installed beneath floor level and bolted into concrete, floor safes are very difficult to remove or tamper with, offering a top security option for valuables.
- Concealability: Easy to hide under carpets, furniture, or floor coverings that burglars often overlook.
- Fire resistance: Many models offer excellent fire protection, essential for documents and precious metals.
Cons:
- Requires professional safe installation: Installing a floor safe involves cutting into the flooring and anchoring it to the concrete, so it’s best to have an expert handle the safe installation.
Our Top Pick: Steelguard Domestic Floor Safe
The Steelguard Domestic Floor Safe gives you solid security for your home or office. It has a 3mm steel body and a tough 10mm plate steel lid. The drill-resistant hard plate protects the lock, and the 900 Series features an automatic relocking device for added security.
A powder-coated finish, both inside and out, keeps it durable, while the safe sits flush with the floor for easy concealment. You can also choose additional options, such as a stainless steel lid or a high-security key lock.
Wall Safes
Fit wall safes between wall studs and hide them behind paintings, mirrors, or furniture. They save space, blend into your living area, and give you easy access to valuables like passports or jewellery. Always install them on a sturdy wall for better security.
Pros:
- Convenience: Install wall safes at eye or chest height to keep them easy to access. Use them for items you need often, such as passports, jewellery, or medication storage.
- Space efficiency: They don’t take up floor space and can fit behind artwork or mirrors.
- Easy concealment: Disguised placement makes them less obvious to intruders.
Cons:
- Limited size: Wall cavities restrict the depth of the safe, resulting in a modest capacity.
Our Top Pick: CMI Wall Safes
The CMI Wall Safe range offers reliable, Australian-made security for homes and offices. With a solid steel door and body, these safes fit neatly into brick walls, keeping valuables hidden.
Choose from digital, key, or combination locks, all protected by a tough steel plate. Each model includes a removable shelf for easy organisation. The five-year warranty shows their durability.
Concealed Safes
Concealed safes can fit inside false panels, cupboards, or everyday objects. They keep valuables out of sight and out of mind. You can access your items quickly and enjoy extra security, especially when you place these safes in unexpected spots.
Pros:
- Discreet security: Concealed safes rely on secrecy, making it much less likely thieves will find or target them.
- Ease of access: Many are placed in convenient spots (e.g., behind false panels, cupboards, or built-in furniture).
- Customisation: There’s a wide variety of build qualities and types, from furniture safes to hidden floor models.
Cons:
- Variation in quality: Not all concealed safes are built to the same standard; cheap models may lack proper protection.
- Size limitations: Many are small and suit only certain items (cash, jewellery, passports).
Factors to Consider When Choosing the Right Safe
How often you need to access your safe will shape your decision. If you frequently reach for valuables, consider a wall or concealed safe for easy access. A floor safe provides solid protection and keeps items you don’t use every day out of sight.
What you want to store also matters. Large items, such as heirlooms or important documents, may need a floor safe or a bigger wall model. Smaller personal safes are suitable for storing cash, jewellery, and medication storage.
Consider your living situation and space. Homeowners can install floor safes, while renters may want portable or wall safes. In bushfire areas, choose a fireproof safe. In flood zones, consider mounting your safe higher or using a wall safe for added protection.
