Amazon Basics Steel Home Security Electronic Safe

3.3/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)

I'd start here when the office needs a locked box for petty cash, keys and a checkbook on a small budget: an 8-gauge door, 14-gauge body, 2 live bolts, a keypad with a backup key and mounting hardware. No fire claim.
