Hiding House Keys In Plain Sight

click for more info

I can remember when I was growing up, my parents used to leave an extra house key underneath the doormat right by our front door. Of course that was about 100 years ago or so when burglars didn’t know that trick. Now if you leave a key underneath a doormat you are almost begging them to get into your house. Those days are long gone my friend. But there is a way that you can hide a key that no one will find.

We have a good selection of outdoor keys safes. They look like objects that you will see around your front door but are meant to hide keys. One of them looks like a thermometer, one looks like a sprinkler head, but my favorite is the rock key safe. You can hide a key “in plain sight” so to speak right around your front door in an area that has other rocks or a garden.

The outdoor Rock Key Safe is available in brown and charcoal colors too.

Home Security-The Best Places To Hide Valuables In Your Home

With home burglary and home invasions making the news almost every day, homeowners are justifiably concerned about their own safety and security. There is a physical loss of an average of $1700 from each home burglary. There is another average of $1700 worth of damage done to the home. That pales in comparison to the psychological damage done to the homeowner and his family. It is a feeling of violation that lasts for years.

And yet it seems so simple to take some proactive steps to prevent home burglary. For example, nearly 90% of all home burglaries occur through doors and windows that are not locked. So doesn’t it make sense to start by locking them? Home security for many can be very simple. But homeowners are sometimes lazy and don’t take any preventative measures.

Just making your home less attractive to a burglar from the outside can go a long ways towards improving your home security and protecting it against home burglary. Try removing shrubs along lower-level doors and windows to eliminate hiding places. Put a sign in your front yard warning of a vicious guard dog. You don’t even need a dog-just the sign will do.

If a burglar does get into your house, have you taken any steps to protect your valuables? It is just a proven fact that a burglar will spend, on average, 6 minutes or less inside a house. Even a nimble burglar cannot check every possible place to find valuables. So where is the best place to hide valuables and protect them?

Hiding them in “plain sight” is the best way. They go for the obvious first; drawers and closets but would they think of looking in a mantle clock or on a bookshelf for a book safe? The things burglars look for first are the things that they can fence the fastest; valuables such as jewelry, guns and of course cash.

A home offers many places to hide valuables. But safes such as gun safes, hidden safes and book safes are actually some of the most secure places to hide valuables.

The large Book Safe is a great example. It has a 3″ x 8″ x 9″ interior compartment that is big enough to hold securities, jewelry, cash, or even a small handgun or anything else of value. The three digit combination lock ensures further security. This book safe will fit right into any collection of books or leave it lying right on your living room table in plain sight.

Book safes, gun safes and other hidden safes are the best places to hide valuables in your home.

Check out all of our home Hidden safes to see if one of them isn’t perfect for your home security program.

Home Security: Gun Safes-Top Two Models

No one knows the exact number of handguns there are in the United States but estimates vary and show that 40% of all American households have guns in them. A rough number of 105 million handguns is the latest estimate. Whatever the number, it is huge. No other country in the world has as many handguns as the United States.

Some people argue that’s good and others argue that it is not so good. Responsible gun owners not only need the required permits to have their guns registered but they should get proper training on how to use the guns. How to secure them in the home is another issue.

There are two major threats to keeping handguns in the home. There is the external threat, which is a burglary or worse a home invasion. Both categories of crime are on the increase. Then there’s an internal threat to having a handgun inside the house-accidental use by a child or member of the household. In either case, a key part of home security is protection of handguns from home burglary or accidental use by a family member.

The best way to secure handguns is with a safe disguised as something common to the household but used as a gun safe-a so-called diversion safe. Many security professionals will tell you that the best place to hide something is to not to hide it at all, but to put it in plain sight. When a burglar breaks into your house if he can’t find what he’s looking for in the first 5 minutes, he will leave. He can’t look at everything. His instincts will not lead him to look at a book, for example, or a mantle clock. A book safe is an excellent example of a great safe for a handgun.

Here are two leading models of safes that can hide handguns and improve your home security.

This Large Book Safe with a three digit combination lock is a great gun safe because it fits right into your natural home surroundings.

Another safe that is specifically designed for guns comes in the form of a mantle clock. The compartment is large enough to hold a big handgun or anything else you value. It looks just like a mantle clock and is battery-operated. It has a rich wood finish with a latched hidden compartment that holds the gun or whatever else you want to hide.

What makes these safes so effective is that they are hidden in plain sight. These are two of the top models of gun safes for home security.

Home Security:Home Hidden Safes-Three Most Popular

There are literally thousands of products on the market today that deal with home security. Almost all of them are in some way or another associated with burglary prevention. Unfortunately, a lot of people don’t believe in prevention. Whatever the reason, home burglary is on the rise in the United States. Maybe it’s the economy, who knows?

But there’s another way that you can protect your valuables if a burglar does break in: home hidden safes. Most people think of safes as the big vaults at your local bank and that is the best example of what a safe can do-protect your valuables.

For home hidden safes as part of your home security program, the idea is to hide something in plain sight. That’s where diversion safes and other hidden safes are at their best.

The clock itself is a rich mahogany stain and is a handsome piece that will fit in on a mantle. Of course, you can hide other things besides a handgun in this hidden safe.

Another very popular safe is the Large Book Safe with combination lock. It works equally well at home or on the road. It looks just like a large book but inside is a compartment that’s 3″ x 8″ x 9″ that is a metal strongbox with a three digit combination lock. It can be used to hold cash, jewelry, a gun or anything of value. Put it right on your bookshelf and no one will know that inside are the valuables.

Another popular model is the closet light hidden wall safe. This is a functioning closet touch light that has an 8″ diameter cavity that can hold cash, jewelry, keys and other valuables.

The most popular of all hidden safes for dorm security is the Large Book Safe with combination lock. It looks just like a book but inside is a metal compartment that measures 3″x 8″ x 9″ with a three digit combination lock for more dorm security.

Another popular model is the hidden wall safe closet light. It is a battery operated closet touch light with a hidden compartment that is 8″ in diameter. No one would ever suspect a hidden safe inside a touch wall light.

College Dorm Security- Hidden Dorm Safes

Several decades ago when I was a freshman in college I fondly remember my roommate and how much privacy I had-none! Don’t think I was alone. It’s traditional for freshmen and sophomores in college to have roommates unless you live on your own or with mom and dad. Part of the fun of going to college is the socialization process. But like everything else in life there are trade-offs. You get a roommate and you lose your privacy. Oh well such is life!

But there are several things you can do to improve your college dorm security. Having a hidden dorm safe is certainly one of them.

The surge protector DORM SAFE is one of the most ingenious.

It is relatively small at 6 inches long, 2 inches wide and three fourths of an inch deep. It is not a real working surge protector but you can plug it into the wall and the on /ff switch lights up in red. It has a secret compartment where you can hide valuables from money, keys or even small documents.

We have several other College Dorm Safes that can help keep your valuables secure and hidden. Check them out.
