Types of Safes We Sell & Install in Charleston

Whatever you're protecting, there's a safe built for it. Each category below is something we sell, deliver, and anchor across the Charleston area - featuring SentrySafe and Liberty as our main brands, with any other brand available to order.

Compact residential home safe installed in a Charleston closet with jewelry and documents inside

Residential (Home) Safes

Compact and mid-size safes for cash, jewelry, passports, deeds and daily valuables - sized for closets, master bedrooms, garages and pantries. These are our most-requested Charleston safe for renters and homeowners who want everyday protection without a full vault.

Popular models: SentrySafe SFW123GDC, SentrySafe Big Bolt series, Liberty HDX-250 Smart Vault, First Alert 2077F.

Commercial business safe placed under a counter in a Charleston office or shop

Commercial & Business Safes

Secure deposits, petty cash, spare keys and sensitive records at your Charleston office, shop or clinic. Built to sit under a desk, inside a supply room or behind the counter, with lock types that let you rotate staff access.

Popular models: Liberty Combo-Vault, SentrySafe Commercial Fire/Cash safes, AMSEC BF series, Gardall commercial B-rate.

Fire-rated safe showing a UL fire rating label with documents inside

Fireproof / Fire-Resistant Safes

Fire-rated safes that shield documents, cash and heirlooms from Lowcountry heat and flame. Ratings run from 30 minutes to 2 hours at rated temperatures - we match the rating to what you actually store so you're not underprotected or overpaying.

Popular models: SentrySafe SFW205GQC, Liberty Fatboy Jr, Honeywell 2-hour fire safes, First Alert 2092DF.

Waterproof Safes

Water-rated safes that keep contents dry through flooding, burst pipes and storm surge - a real concern near the Charleston peninsula and the marsh. Often combined with a fire rating so one purchase covers both risks.

Popular models: SentrySafe waterproof/fireproof chests, First Alert waterproof file safes, Honeywell 1104 waterproof.

Full-height Liberty rifle safe with long guns and interior lighting

Gun & Rifle Safes

Long-gun and pistol safes sized to your collection and installed to meet safe-storage best practices. Fast-access pistol safes for bedside, and full-height rifle safes with fire lining and interior lighting for the serious collection.

Recessed wall safe installed between studs and hidden behind a mirror

Wall Safes

Recessed between wall studs and hidden behind art, a mirror or a panel. A discreet home for jewelry, cash and documents where floor space is tight - popular in older downtown homes and new construction alike.

In-floor safe set into a concrete slab with the lid open

UL-rated burglary safe showing heavy boltwork and a thick steel door

Popular models: SentrySafe hotel-style electronic safes, Barska hotel safes, Yale electronic in-room safes.

Data & Media Safes

Media-rated safes that hold a lower internal temperature to protect hard drives, USB sticks, backups and film - not just paper - through a fire. The right pick if you store digital originals on site.

Popular models: SentrySafe media/data safes, AMSEC data-media safes, Honeywell media chests.

Any Brand, Ordered to Spec

Beyond SentrySafe and Liberty, we can source any safe brand and model you want - AMSEC, Gardall, Hollon, Barska, Honeywell, First Alert and more - and handle delivery, anchoring and setup for you.

Brands We Service

Safe Services Beyond the Sale

Delivery & Anchoring

We deliver, position, and bolt your safe to the floor or wall so it can't be carried off - critical for heavier residential and commercial units.

Safe Opening & Unlocking

Locked out of your safe or forgot the combination? We open jammed, lost-combo and dead-battery safes with minimal damage where possible.

Repair, Rekey & Combination Change

Reset electronic keypads, replace dead solenoids, swap dials, and change combinations when staff or family members change.

How Buying a Safe From Us Works

1

Free Estimate & Assessment

Tell us what you're protecting and where. We recommend a size, fire rating and lock type - and a free estimate with no pressure.

2

Order or Pick From Stock

Choose from SentrySafe and Liberty models we carry, or we order the exact brand and model you want.

3

Delivery & Anchoring

We bring it in, position it, and bolt it down securely at your Charleston home or business.

4

Setup & Handover

We program your combination or biometric lock, show you how to operate it, and leave you set to use it.

Pro Tip: Match the Safe's Fire Rating to What's Inside

A "fireproof" label isn't one number. Paper documents survive up to about 350°F internally, but digital media - hard drives, USB sticks, film - start failing near 125°F. If you're storing backups or a home server drive, ask for a media-rated safe, not just a paper-rated one. In Charleston's humid, storm-prone climate we also steer clients toward water-resistant models so a flood or burst pipe doesn't ruin what the fire rating protected.
