Do I Need a Safe If I Don't Own a Gun?

Every Home Needs a Safe

Every home should have a safe, even if you do not own a gun. Why? Because you have other important things that also need to be protected from burglars and fire damage. It's easy to get in the mindset that you do not need a home safe to protect your valuables, especially if you have an alarm system or your neighborhood has never been hit by burglars.

When most people think of home safes, their minds go straight to firearms. However, the truth is that a high-quality safe offers far more than just secure gun storage. Whether or not you own a firearm, personal safety is an essential investment in home security, organization, and peace of mind. At Liberty Safe, our Premium Home and Home Safe lines are designed with this broader purpose in mind—offering trusted protection for anyone who values their valuables.

Here is just a sample of all the things you can protect and have immediate access to 24 hours a day when you buy a safe for your home:

  • Passports
  • Birth certificates
  • Social security cards
  • Life insurance policies
  • Copy of wills
  • Living wills and healthcare proxies
  • Home insurance policies
  • Family photographs
  • Sentimental items
  • Prescription medications
  • Cash and jewelry
  • Banking information
  • Investment records

Protection From Burglars and Fire

Owning a home safe gives you peace of mind knowing that you have the means to protect your valuables, cash, and important documents. Liberty Home Safes are built to keep burglars out with:

  • One-inch thick composite steel door
  • Triple-case hardened steel plates protecting lock from being drilled
  • 12-gauge steel body
  • Defensive barrier on all four door sides of one-inch locking bolts
  • UL™ Listed SecuRam™ BackLit Electronic Lock similar to bank locks

Having a home security safe is not just about burglars, though. You can use it to protect important documents that you would need immediately if your home were to be damaged or destroyed by fire. A Liberty Safe protects its contents for 60 minutes at 1200 degrees with its:

  • 83,000 BTU fire rating
  • Three-layered fireboard protection
  • Palusol™ 7X Heat-Activated door seal that helps keep out heat and smoke

Even in the digital age, some documents are irreplaceable. Think about birth certificates, passports, social security cards, wills, and property deeds. These papers are often stored in drawers or filing cabinets, none of which provide true protection.

Liberty’s Premium Home Safes offer top-tier fire protection, up to 120 minutes at 1200°F, and feature robust locking mechanisms and solid steel construction. Even our Home Safes, with up to 60 minutes of fire resistance, provide ample protection for the average household’s essential documents.

Secure Jewelry, Watches, and Cash

Whether it’s heirloom jewelry or a gold investment, the reality is that theft can occur. Safes act as a strong deterrent, especially when bolted down and hidden in less conspicuous areas, such as closets or cabinets.

Liberty’s safes are built with reinforced locking bars, anti-pry technology, and customizable shelving to organize your valuables and maximize your space.

Preserve Digital Media and Sensitive Data

USB drives, external hard drives, and backup disks are vulnerable to both heat and theft. A Liberty safe protects these digital assets, ensuring that family memories, tax records, or sensitive work documents don’t go up in smoke—literally.

Many of our customers use their Premium Home Safes as a personal data center, storing devices and drives in one secure place with confidence that they're shielded from fire and forced entry.

Keep Medications and Prescription Drugs Secure

If you have children, visitors, or housemates, you may want to restrict access to certain medications. A home safe provides a responsible way to store prescription drugs, especially those with high abuse potential, reducing the risk of accidental ingestion or misuse.

With quick-access electronic locks or SecuRam biometric options, you can retrieve what you need fast, without compromising safety.

Peace of Mind While You’re Away

Vacations and work trips shouldn’t be stressful. When your most valuable items are stored securely, you won’t worry about break-ins or natural disasters while you’re away. Both our Home Safe and Premium Home Safe lines feature interior lighting, adjustable shelving, and sleek, compact designs that integrate beautifully into your home—so you can stay protected without sacrificing space or style.

A Safe That Fits Every Lifestyle

Liberty’s Home Safe Line is perfect for smaller apartments, condos, or personal offices. Compact yet mighty, these safes are ideal for renters, students, or minimalists seeking a discreet and dependable way to secure their essentials.

For homeowners and collectors who require additional space or enhanced fire and security protection, the Premium Home Safe Line is the gold standard. These safes combine elegance and endurance, offering customizable interiors, premium finishes, and the peace of mind that comes with Liberty’s unmatched craftsmanship.

Better Than a Bank Safe Deposit Box

You might think using a safe deposit box at your bank is the safest place to keep your valuables. After all, why not...because banks are protected by 24-hour security and alarm systems. And of course, banks are protected by FDIC insurance, right? But wait, FDIC insurance only covers the money you have in your bank accounts, not the contents of your safe deposit box that might include cash you're keeping for an emergency. Plus, you do not have 24-hour access to the contents in your safe deposit box.

No one likes to think about dying, but if you suddenly become ill or die unexpectedly, your spouse or family will not be able to access your safe deposit box. Once your bank receives notice of your death, they automatically seal your safe deposit box. This could prevent them from quickly accessing your living will, last will and testament, or funeral directive. The only way your family can have your box unsealed is to go through the hassle of having a lawyer go to court to obtain the legal papers needed for the bank.

Buying a Liberty Home Safe is making an investment in protection for your family for now and in the future. Learn how to buy a safe by contacting your local dealer today.
