AMSEC WFS149E5LP Wall Safe
3.2/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
My fireproof pick, and the only wall safe here with an independent fire label: UL rates it for 60 minutes at 1700°F. It pairs a 0.5 in steel door and 0.5 in steel deadbolts with a 2.125 in body, but at 15.375 in deep and 104 lb it needs a deep wall and support under it.
