There are many different types of diversion security safes.

These may include books, regular food containers, hair brushes, drinking water bottles and soft drinks cans among others.
Essentially they are safes that look like household items, with compartments for hiding valuables such as cash, jewelry or important documents such as passports among others. Other home hide away safes are carefully disguised in furniture such as beds, sofas and shelves. Wall clocks, BIC lighters and Patrol Hanging closets conceal some of the stealthiest compartments in home hidden safes.
Advantages of Secret Diversion Safes Over Traditional Safes
The benefits of diversion safes cannot be overemphasized. Unlike the traditional safes, which are usually targeted during theft, home diversion safes are easily disguised as common household items.
A clock with secret compartment for instance can hold reasonable amount of cash and jewelry without being suspected to be a personal safe. It’s interesting how these everyday items with secret compartments can be perfectly hidden even though they remain in plain sight.
The other good thing about them is that they are portable, they don’t occupy extra space and some of them can comfortably be used on the go. You may also want to share any of these secret compartment household items with a loved one as a gift. I recently bought my niece a birthday anniversary gift of a safe disguised as a real book. She likes reading and I knew she’d pretty much like it.
What I liked most about it is that it perfectly looks like an actual book, with real pages that you can flip through and a craftily hidden compartment in the middle. It also had a lid to cover the valuables so that they don’t spill out easily in case of a fall, and enough storage space to hold her jewelry, documents and cash. It also blends perfectly with other books on the shelves.
How to Use Disguised Safes
Unlike most of traditional safes, hide away safes do not need any installation, making them hassle free and most adaptable. Creativity is the only limitation on where and how to use your secret safe. Remember burglars are ever in a hurry and only target the most obvious places such as traditional safes.
You can therefore stow away your valuables in a fridge or cupboard using commonly used items such as a soda can secret compartment. No burglar will have enough time to search around your fridge or cupboard, unless they have enough time for a midnight snack.
Apart from indoor objects, there are safes that are made from outdoor items such as flower pots, ideal for hiding stuff such as keys. Indeed, disguised safes are everyday items with secret compartments, which you don’t necessarily have to buy as you can also get creative with some DIY tutorials and make some at home.
Having said that most diversion safes are inexpensive so it may be worth just buying one instead of spending a few hours creating one yourself.
