Questions to answer before you buy

Is a fireproof safe also burglar resistant?

Fire resistance and burglary resistance are separate features. Check the exact model’s fire test and burglary classification; a fire rating alone does not establish resistance to a tool attack. Compare safe ratings.

What size safe do I need?

Measure your largest items, interior shelf space, and door opening. Allow room for additions, then check exterior dimensions and the delivery route. Advertised gun capacity is not a guarantee that scoped rifles and accessories will fit. What Size Safe Do I Actually Need?.

How can I control humidity in a safe?

Use a hygrometer to track conditions and choose moisture control compatible with the safe and its contents. Desiccants absorb moisture; an electric rod warms the interior to help reduce condensation. Gun Safe Humidity Control Guide.

Explore brands available at Secure Zoned

Compare specifications at the model level. Brands offer different product lines, and a brand name alone does not establish a fire or burglary rating.

I haven't opened the box yet but it arrived undamaged in record time! I don't think it's a matter

I haven't opened the box yet but it arrived undamaged in record time! I don't think it's a matter of the stars having aligned, Ben was instrumental in getting my order to me as quickly as possible. Of course he couldn't guarantee what the shipping company would do but he did everything possible on his end to help get the wall safe to me before I left on a trip. Thank you Ben!!!

Great product - hope that I never have to use it!

I was looking for a fire safe to replace my very old fire-resistant box, and happened upon the Hollen HS-310E. After looking around on line at various different vendors, I ordered it through SecureZoned, for a good price and a discount. SecureZoned shipped the safe in a timely fashion and it was well packaged.
The safe is quite sturdy and it easy to re-set the master code and open and shut it. It's not a burglary safe, but I only keep documents and papers in it. As a fire safe, the specs are quite impressive. Unfortunately, I can't give it 5-stars, because to do so would mean that my house burned down, but my papers were preseved (and I don't want to test that - and hopefully never will). But I do feel more comfortable knowing that my documents are in very secure fire safe.
