Floor safes provide concealed, in-ground protection for cash, documents, jewelry, and other valuables. Installed in concrete with the door sitting near floor level, they limit access to the sides and back of the safe and can be hidden beneath flooring or another cover.

Dean Safe carries floor safes from Stealth, AMSEC, and Hollon in several sizes for homes and businesses. Compare each model’s opening size, interior depth, door construction, lock type, and installation requirements before choosing.

Why Choose a Floor Safe?

• Strong concealment: The recessed door can be covered to keep the safe out of sight.
• Burglary resistance: Correct installation in concrete restricts access to the safe body.
• Space options: Choose compact models for cash and documents or larger models for bulkier valuables.
• Lock choices: Available models may include mechanical combination or electronic locks.

What to Look For

Focus on the usable opening, interior dimensions, door thickness, locking bolts, hardplate and relocker protection, and whether the door is hinged or lift-out. A hinged door with lift assistance is generally easier to open, while a lift-out door may work well where overhead clearance is limited.

Floor safes are best for valuables you do not need every day. Because moisture can enter an in-floor installation, keep documents and moisture-sensitive items inside sealed waterproof containers.

Floor Safe FAQs

Are floor safes fireproof?

Most floor safes do not carry a certified fire rating. A proper concrete installation may help shield the safe from heat, but protection depends on the model, installation, fire conditions, and how the contents are stored. Check the product specifications instead of assuming a floor safe is fireproof.

How should a floor safe be installed?

Installation requirements vary by model and site. The safe is typically set into a prepared opening and surrounded by concrete according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Professional installation is recommended when cutting an existing slab or when site conditions are uncertain.

Can water get into a floor safe?

Yes. Floor safes are not automatically waterproof, and water can enter from flooding, cleaning, condensation, or firefighting. Store paper records, media, and other moisture-sensitive valuables in sealed waterproof containers inside the safe.

What size floor safe should I buy?

Measure the items you plan to store and compare them with both the interior dimensions and the clear door opening. Also confirm the available slab depth and surrounding clearance before ordering.
