Secret Hiding Spot: Hidden Compartment in Wall Safe
Who doesn’t like the idea of a wall safe? They are cool and fun. As a child, I used to dream about how to make a secret hiding spot for every precious possession, both indoors and outdoors. The thought of something as simple as a concealed compartment, intrigues me even now.
Usually a little box or hollowed out tube of some sort would keep me happy. Of course, hide-and-go-seek was always my favorite game. As an adult, I still have a fascination with all things clandestine and sneaky. Secret codes, hidden compartments, bugs, top secret information, listening devices, that sort of thing. I guess the appeal of a wall safe comes from the excitement of knowing something that someone else doesn’t.
A Secret Hiding Spot Doesn’t Need To Be Fancy
A wall safe is best when it is disguised as something common. Valuables don’t always have to be hidden behind an expensive painting or fancy movable bookcase. Besides, most of us can’t afford that anyway, and studies have shown that a thief only spends just a few minutes inside a place that they intend to steal from. I am pretty sure that looking behind bookcases and paintings is something any respectable burglar does right away.
So, like I said, sometimes a wall safe is best when it is simple. For example, one of my favorites is those little safes that look like a common electrical outlet and wall plate. They are cheap, super easy to install, and just downright fun. I am sure that anyone that wanted to could even make one. To install one of these you just have to cut a small rectangle out of your drywall in a suitable location and stick the little wall safe inside. Now you can hide away small valuables in a place so common that a thief will not even think about looking there.
A Hidden Compartment Inside Our Wall Safes
Now I have to admit that this little gadget is a little under dressed for some occasions. One problem is that only small items can fit. An obvious downside is that it isn’t locked, meaning that someone could accidentally access it, and last, it does not offer any fire protection. A wall safe that is more suited to protecting weapons or large amounts of cash, passports, deeds, etc., certainly needs to be locked up and offer some degree of fire protection. Alas, we offer three options of wall safes that include a hidden compartment for such purposes. On the outside these safes tend to have ways to attach things like pictures, mirrors, dart boards, or other items that would hide the safe.
I’ve spent my entire life thinking about secret hiding places and designing one-of-a-kind safes. Several years ago I started my own safe company called DigitalSafe. Today we design, deliver and install our award-winning luxury vault and wall safes which are made right here in the United States. I invite you to see where my imagination from my childhood has taken me in my quest to become the very best safe builder in the country. For more information, visit www.digitalsafeonline.com
