Hollon B3500
3.1/5 Best Safe Score (how we score)
I chose the B3500 for silver stackers who want the hidden floor-safe setup with real room: about 2.85 cubic feet inside, the same 1/2 inch door, five bolts and hard plate as the B2500, at 140 lb before the concrete goes in.

Who it's for
- Best large floor safe for silver in Best Safe for Gold and Silver Bullion – 5 Picks by Stack Size: Homeowners on a slab with monster boxes of silver; it needs a large hole in the floor, has no fire rating and needs moisture control inside.
- Best large hidden safe in Best Safe for Cash at Home – 6 Picks for Burglars, Fire and Hiding: Homeowners on a slab who want room for cash, bagged documents and jewelry out of sight; it needs a larger concrete cut and has no fire rating.

What we like
- About 2.85 cubic feet inside, the most of the two floor safes
- Same 1/2 in door, five bolts, hard plate and relocker as the B2500
- Battery-free UL-listed Group 2 dial
- About 2.85 cubic feet, roughly three times the B2500
- Same 1/2 in door, five bolts, hard plate and relocker
- Roughly 2.85 cubic feet, room for coin boxes stacked 23 in deep
What to know first
- No fire rating and a moisture-prone location
- A 23.5 in deep body means a large concrete cut
- Owner reviews of this exact model are scarce
- No fire rating; damp slab means bag the contents
- A 23.5 in deep body needs a big hole, usually a contractor job

What owners say
Summarized from 2 owner discussions and review pages we read.
Praise
- Build quality and room for documents for the price
- The series review on the B3500 page calls the build stout once cased in concrete
- A reviewer liked the build and the space for papers at the price
Complaints
- Owner reviews are scarce; the one we found describes no problem yet, so we lean on B2500 owners and Hollon's own moisture warning
- Owner reviews of this size are scarce; the only detailed one on the page was written about the B2500
- Reviews of this exact model are rare and report no fault so far, so we also weigh B2500 owner notes and Hollon's damp warning
