Which one should you buy?

Buy the SentrySafe CHW20221 if the risk you cannot insure away is fire: it is the only pick here that publishes both a fire duration and a temperature, and at 4.6 stars it is the highest-rated of our seven. Buy the Amazon Basics 14 L Steel Security Safe if you are worried about a break-in instead, because it bolts down, costs $83.14 and carries 37,727 ratings. Buy the Amazon Basics Slim Desk Drawer Safe at $56.59 if you just want a passport and some cash out of casual reach.
