When it comes to choosing the best safe, there’s no one-size-fits-all answer. The ideal safe depends on your environment, installation possibilities, and the type of valuables you need to protect. At Arcas Gruber, we help you choose the most appropriate solution based on your home or business needs — whether you’re looking for burglary resistance, fire protection, or legal compliance.
1. Best Safes for Homes (Without Construction Work)
If you’re not doing any renovations or structural modifications, the best choice is a home safe. These models are compact, freestanding, and easy to install in closets, furniture, or utility rooms. Ideal for storing:
- Cash and jewelry
- Passports and personal documents
- Backup drives and sensitive digital media
They are available with electronic, key, or biometric locks and can be bolted to the floor for added protection.
2. Best Safes During Renovation or Construction: Wall Safes
If you’re building or remodeling, take advantage of the opportunity to install a built-in wall safe. These safes are embedded into the wall and hidden behind artwork or furniture, offering exceptional discretion and security. Perfect for homeowners who want permanent protection without occupying visible space.
3. Best Safes for Businesses: Certified Euro Grade Safes
Businesses require robust, certified solutions that meet legal, insurance, and operational standards. The best safes for business use are Euro Grade certified safes, tested under UNE EN 1143-1 for resistance to physical attacks.
- Grade III–IV: Ideal for gas stations, pharmacies, and jewelry shops
- Grade V–IX: For financial institutions, lottery points, or security firms
They also support advanced features such as deposit modules, time delay locks, and audit trails.
4. Best Safes for Document and Fire Protection
If you need to protect paper records, data, or magnetic media from fire, the best choice is a fireproof safe or cabinet. These models are tested under EN 1047-1 and offer protection from 30 to 120 minutes at temperatures exceeding 900°C.
