Top 11 Best Quality Wall Safes in 2023

If you are looking for a bit more than the competition when it comes to your wall safe, and budget isn’t too much of a worry for you, then the Stealth WSHD1414 is an awesome option.

With a 12 gauge steel body (this is what I consider the start of any quality full-size safe), and a 1/2″ door (this is what will be facing outwards), this safe is one hefty wall safe (73 pounds to be exact).

With so many options on the market for extremely lightweight wall safes, this one stands out as an awesome, all-around option for those that just want a bit more.

As one of the few options out there with a mechanical lock, and a name-brand S&G Mechanical Lock at that, it serves as one of the most reliable as well.

I have long been a fan of Snapsafe, as they offer one of my favorite modular gun safes. Since the introduction of their Titan Safes, they have expanded their products to quite a few other ones as well!

That is where their line of wall safes comes in, and this one is my favorite for long guns. Gone are the days when a wall safe is this small contraption, as this one can handle a couple of long guns (as long as they are less than 40.7″ of the interior).

This 55-pound gun safe offers an electronic lock with a key bypass, 3 shelves that can be installed if you don’t plan on keeping long guns in it and is 44″ high by 16.25″ wide by 4″ deep on the exterior.

That said, unlike the Stealth safe we talked about above, this one is made from 16 gauge steel, so it will be relying a bit more on you hiding the safe than on it being ridged.

Now, if you liked the Stealth safe at the top of this list, but wish it had even more steel and was even more expensive, then the Amsec WS1214E5 is the best option for you.

At 86 pounds of 3/4″ solid steel plate door, and unknown body steel, this safe should stop people in their tracks. It offers a high-end electronic lock made by Amsec themselves, and even has a relocker installed (basically will trip if the safe is tampered with).

Amsec is one of the best manufacturers of gun safes on the market today, offering plenty of high-end gun safes for residential and businesses alike.

They don’t mess around with their products, and this wall safe is no different. I would have no problem installing this into a wall, and be sure it is the best solution out there.

Snapsafe recently, completely revamped their standard size wall safe, and it is so much better than it used to be. This isn’t necessarily saying the old one was terrible, but the new one is just that much better.

This new version has a vertically oriented 4-digit keypad, with tactile buttons to allow for you to feel the buttons in the dark (also comes with a key backup).

It also has changed its color from black, to a textured light gray, so that it blends better into the color of what most people’s wall are (off-white).

Sure, it still retains the 16 gauge steel of its predecessor, but hey, most wall safes are that thickness, and this is one of the best of those thinner steel options.

There is such a huge veriety of lock options, including RFID (see the Diversion Safe Stash lower down). However, one common lock option that many people want is a good fingerprint lock.

While I have said over and over on this site, I am not a huge fan of biometric locks, unless they are high end, Barska is my one exception.

This Barska Wall Safe is probably the one wall safe with a biometric lock that I would recommend. This manufacture sells many, many different versions of their biometric lock, and have for many years. With this experience they have created a reliable, low failure lock.

Outside of the locking mechanism, this safe is very similar to the other options on this list (which is overall a good thing).

Tactical Walls is one of the few manufacturers out there right now that makes a high quality mirror gun safe on the market right now. The 1420 Concealment mirror is their smallest option, and is my personal favorite.

It is essentially like every other wall safe on this list, however it is its own camouflage, as the door is a sliding mirror (or picture, blackboard, etc).

The safe is made of real wood, and it is easily opened using a magnetic style locking mechanism.

If you want to have a safe that is both extremely usable both for storage, but also as a mirror, this is going to be a great option.

If you want it for your room, I would recommend the full length, if you want it for anywhere else, then this 1420 is the best option out there.

Protex is not super well known in the residential safe market, however they are one of the best in the commercial market! They are known drop boxes, deposit safes, floor safes and more. However, they do make this wall safe that might just be the right one for you.

This safe uses a high quality electronic locking mechanism (with a key backup, just in case), and has plenty of the same features you would expect from a wall safe, such as shelves, high quality steel and more.

If you are someone that likes a commercial grade safe for your den, or office, this is an awesome product for you.

If you are to this point in the list, and your eyes haven’t glossed over from all of the similar products on this list, I applaud you.

That said, my goal is to show you all of the great options, even if they are similar, as there are plenty of bad options on the market (those don’t show up on this list).

So that said, if you don’t like any other options above, this Mesa Safe might hit the mark! It again, has many similar features to what you are used to on this list, however this one might fit your home better if you have beige walls.

Mesa Safes has been around for a long time, and has built up a good reputation in the industry, and I wouldn’t bat and eye at buying one of their products if it fit my needs.

If you on the hunt for a great diversion wall safe, and you don’t want to hide it behind a picture or mirror, this little safe is an awesome option.

The safe looks just like an HVAC vent, however it is easily opened with an RFID lock. Sure, it may not be the heaviest duty option on this list, however it might buy you quite a bit of time in the event of someone breaking into your home.

Remember, when you buy a safe, you are buying time, not something impenetrable. So this one achieves that goal bit differently than other safes.

Finally, a truly unique safe! This Elder Welder Outlet Wall Safe is an awesome option if you just want to store a couple small items, but out of sight. You can easily install this anywhere in your home, and it looks just like an outlet cover that everyone is used to.

When you want to gain access, you just unscrew the faceplate, and unlock the safe to get inside. Unlocking the safe with a key is actually rare with many of these safes, as most rely less on lockability, and more just on hiding the safe without a lock.

If you are wanting to hide your safe in plain site, for easy access, this is a great option, and one of the best like it I have ever seen.

One Note: I mentioned earlier in this article that I am only discussing brands I know well. I don’t know this brand well, so buy at your own risk.

Stack-On is the master of creating decent quality products at one of the best values on the market.

While there isn’t anything particularly special about this wall safe, as it conforms to most every other safe on this list, it does make for a great option.

One thing that does stand out about it, is the fact that Stack-On is a huge brand, that sells tons of safes.

This is always a good thing when you are buying a safe, as you can be sure that they will be sticking around, and able to stand up to their warranty.
