It is becoming increasingly common for people to buy and install a safe in their homes or businesses. If you are one of these people, you need to select the most suitable place to place your safe to prevent any theft.

If that is the case, at Arcas Gruber, we will be happy to advise you, as we have more than 100 years of experience manufacturing safes and we have a very professional team that will advise you in the best possible way to meet your needs. In this short article we will give you ideas of where to place a safe so that it is as hard to find as possible.
Drop-in Safes
The safe is the easiest model of safe to move. This fact makes the placement easier to do, but still the selected location should be as inconspicuous as possible. A good tip is to store the safe inside a wardrobe.
Places to hide an Overlay Safe:
- The children’s room is a good place, as children’s cupboards are usually cluttered and full of toys. This way the safe will be hidden and go unnoticed.
- The kitchen is also a good place. The cupboards of all kitchens are full of objects and utensils in which to hide our safe.
Wall Safe
The main feature of this safe is that the door is visible, but the rest of the structure is surrounded and immobilised in the wall.
The most important thing with this type of safe is to choose a discreet place where the door of the safe cannot be seen at first glance. In the past, it was common to hide safes behind pictures and mirrors, but nowadays burglars are well aware of this.
That is why we advise you to always locate this type of safe in discreet places away from view through windows and doors.
Camouflaged safes, another great alternative
Camouflaged safes, as well as being highly resistant to attack, are very easy to hide.
Generally, this type of safe is embedded in the floor where it is practically impossible to move. It is also very easy to hide by a carpet, a false floor or a piece of furniture.
