do u think we shud do everything in home and also job and never leave the four safe walls

Home is the best place for me. Theres no place like home. Home sweet home

I want to decorate my baby-to-come's room with my own cut outs and paintings but I dont wanna spoil the walls in my rented home.
Is there a glue that is wall-safe so I can make those wall-friendly type reusuable stickers for my little one?
I dont wanna buy them..they are too expensive!

I took Microsoft Clip Art and printed in on a color printer and then cutout the images. It was neat! Post-It makes a Non-permanent Glue Stick that makes things kind of like Post-It notes. I am not sure how well that would stick long term, but you could get it at an office supply store. You could also get removable poster tape (http://products3.3m.com/catalog/us/en001/office/mounting/node_GSM3MG1VQ9gs/root_GST1T4S9TCgv/vroot_GSRCJ327Z3ge/bgel_GS9YTZGKKQbl/gvel_GS262SSBYCgl/theme_us_mounting_3_0/command_AbcPageHandler/output_html).

You could probably just use old fashioned Elmer's Glue and then just wash down the walls with warm water before you moved. I would do a test one in a location behind a door or something first though!

My final suggestion would be to just go ahead and paint on the walls. You will have to repaint in white, but most landlords are okay with that!

I have a home safe that's securely built in behind a picture and locked on the wall, keep a few important documents in it but was thinking that I should keep some money there too, would you recommend this? what's the most I should keep their? hundreds? thousands? xxxx

I don't go over a thousand.

We are wanting to open the kitchen to the living room a little more. We are needing to tear out a wall where another wall meets it in a "T". Would this be safe if it is only about a 5 foot section?
The entire wall will not be tore down, only about a 4-5 foot section of it.

Load bearing walls can go in any direction in relation to your floor or ceiling joists. If it runs along a joist and that joist is doubled it could be a load bearing. Also see what is above it. If you know who built your house and it is newer you could perhaps call the builder and get the mechanical or architectural drawings.

It is best to get some one who DOES know before you cut anything. Serious damage can occur.

i've used rawlbolts 2 of them and it feels very sturdy although i wasn't satisfied when i tightened them they didn;t seem to offer much resistance and instead just kept turning whilst making very un healthy cracking noises as in the bolts were breaking the block.... but to try and pull the safe from the wall feels very secure..... do rawlbolts become tight like a screw might or is that as tight as they get..... and have i used the best fixings for the job if someone did try to take it i wanted it to be very very difficult..... any info would be helpful thanks

Most safes give you alternative fixing points - I used both the ones in the back and the base - this makes it fairly impossible to put any direct pull in either direction. I would use very long screws and plastic rawlpugs in your situation - the expanding bolts as you have found tend to crush the cement. If you can get to the other side of the block you could use long bolts, with the heads buried in the plaster on the other side, but this will only work on internal walls.

There are many different types of safes available on the market today. Some examples are floor safes, gun safes, wall safes, deposit safes and fire safes. They all their advantages and are designed for specific purposes. Today lets take a look at wall safes and their top 7 advantages over other types of safes.

1. Easy to conceal. Unlike large floor safes that scream, "I am here" and "Guess what is hidden inside?" a wall safe can be hidden behind numerous items. Things such as a picture, mirror, bookshelf, or small decoy type safes that mask as a wall outlet.
2. Security. Being hidden, a wall safe has an obvious security advantage over other safes - people don't know where it is without spending time looking for it. The safes are also bolted to the wall, so it cannot easily be removed without accessing the bolts, and the bolts are hard to get at because the external flange gets in the way. Often, thief's like to be able to grab the safe and go, that way they can take their time opening the vault. But with wall safes this is very difficult, they must take the time to open on the premise, and a lot of time is something most thieves just don't have.

3. Easy to Install. Though it may seem a bit intimidating, and obviously is easier to install when a house is being built, installing wall safes into an existing home is simple. Most are designed to fit between two wall studs, and come with a template. Just mark the wall according to the template, cut and install. Because of the external flange that rests on the outside of the wall, no finishing work is needed.
4. Space saving. Lets face it, though manufactures try to make large floor safes more attractive, it is a large steel box that takes up a lot of space. Being able to hide a safe in the wall saves a lot of space.
5. Easy to access. No bending over to open the combination, you can install the safe at any level that suits you best. Having a safe at eye level is simply easier to use.

6. Hidden from children. A safe is a curiosity item for children. They wonder what is inside, they like to mess with the lock and play with the combination, and perhaps even talk with friends about the safe and what they have seen in it. Having a hidden safe removes a lot of these problems.
7. Easy to deliver without the whole neighborhood knowing. If you get a large floor safe, it usually comes delivered in a special freight trucks with multiple delivery men. People in the neighborhood notice. If you are concerned about discretion, then wall safes are a great option, and not just because they can be hidden behind a picture. Because wall safes often weight less than 100 pounds, they are usually delivered by UPS, so no one knows what you are receiving.

If a majority of these advantages of wall safes appeal to you, then it may be the perfect option for your home. And remember, if you have a couple of long guns, you can get closet wall safes that are about 50" tall and will fit a few rifles.

Hopefully you considered what you were going to put in your wall safe before you purchased it to make sure that you got the one that suits you best. But now that your wall safe is smartly installed behind your favorite painting, it is time to get serious. Here is a checklist of possible things that you may want to keep secure from theft or damage, regardless of your original purpose behind the purchase.

First, important documents. Not only is it vital to keep such documents safe, but it is nice to know where to look for them. Types of documents might include birth certificates, marriage and death certificates, deeds and titles, insurance policy information, investment portfolios or information, passports, social security cards, wills and trusts, appraisals, mortgage documents, health records, home inventory, copy of receipts for major purchases, or anything else you may want to keep secure or out of other peoples hands.

 

Most wall safes are smaller than a full size safe, so rifles may not fit (though there are closet sized wall safes that would work) but hand guns should be kept secure. Keeping a pistol in a safe keeps them out of small hands and possible tragedy. You should also include ammunition or other related items in your safe.

A back up of any important digital media should be kept in your wall safe. What you keep on this external hard drive, CD's or thumb drive will vary from individual to individual but may include the following: digital pictures, financial information, your music, work related documents, personal correspondence, internet book marks, password information etc. You may also want to keep a back up of important computer programs that you use. You do not have to back up your entire computer (unless you really want to), but just things that you would really need or miss. There are plenty of things I am loathe to throw away from my hard drive, but if my computer was destroyed I probably wouldn't even miss! Be aware that if you have a lot of media that you want to protect that it does damage at lower temperatures than paper so you will want a wall safe with higher fire ratings.

Any valuables that you have, such as jewelry. This would also include heirloom items which may have a monetary or sentimental value. This may include collectible items such coins or baseball cards or any other small items you collect. Also, any one of a kind items such as autographed pictures. Basically, whatever is valuable to you that you would not want destroyed in a fire or other natural disaster should be put in your wall safe.

Wall Safe / Electronic All of our Protex Wall safes are equipped with high-security locks and fit between two wall studs. This line of safes is an excellent choice for Homes and RVs. Features: 3/16" thick solid-plate steel door and frame 14-gauge welded steel structure Fits between two standard wall studs Protex keypad with AMSEC ESL10S UL-listed Group 2 electronic lock Four pre-drilled anchoring holes on the sides Anchoring hardware included Two welded-in shelves (non-removable) Powder coated white finish Concealed hinges Model: PWS-1414E Weight: 30lbs. Exterior Dimensions: 14" wide x 14" tall x 3 3/4" deep Frame Dimensions: 17" wide x 17" tall

I also like to put a bit of emergency cash in my safe. It doesn't have to be a lot, that is obviously what a bank is for, but knowing that you have some cash in the house that you can access at any time for any reason can bring a lot of peace of mind.

I have tried to be thorough, and though you probably don't have everything I've listed, hopefully it has gotten you thinking as to what is important to you that you need to protect. A wall safe is an important purchase, to keep your valuables and important information safe from theft or damage, so make sure you use it wisely.

LockState LS-17EN Small Cash & Jewelry Safe

To protect your valuables it is essential that you find the right method of protection. You will know which is the right method – your needs may differ greatly depending on what it is that you are trying to hide. For example, if you are trying to hide small items like trinkets, colectable coins or cards, it may be best for you to purchase a small wall safe. A small safe has a few advantages over the bigger ones. First of all, it is easier to fit in your wall, and easier to conceal.

Concealment is a major issue in protection. If you have smaller items to protect, it makes little sense to use a large space for their concealment. Hidden safes are available in a range of different looks, including wall sockets and even bricks. The advantage to this is obvious. If you look at a wall, what do you expect to see? Bricks, sockets, whatever makes up a wall. So for a burglar to find a hidden safe, they need to be either extremely perceptive or have inside knowledge.

If people do not know something is there, they cannot easily put their hands on it, they cannot get into it and they cannot steal what is inside it. So if you have something small to hide, hide it somewhere small. This will make things a lot easier to keep out of the hands of miscreants. Small wall safes are available for this purpose, and fit it perfectly.

In order to protect the goods on which you have spent so much money it is sometimes necessary to spend a little more money. Whatever kind of wall safe you choose, it will need to be one that is practical, reasonably priced and most importantly, one that does the job that you bought it to do, the way you want it to do it. There are certain indispensable tips when it comes to buying a wall safe for your home, one of which is: Don’t make it obvious.

An obvious, visible wall safe can be almost as damaging to the security of your property as none at all. Burglars, being the resourceful criminals they are, may well have scoped out your house before they attempt to burgle it. If they see a wall safe they will know that there are things in there which you are seeking to protect. And if they get a good luck at the wall safe, they will know what kind it is and may well be able to research ways to get around it.

It is therefore of paramount importance that when shopping for a home wall safe you make it as indistinct from the décor of your home as you possibly can. This will make it harder for criminals to detect, and if criminals cannot detect it they cannot research it, crack it and clean it out. The safe itself should be as difficult to get into as possible. This can be done with simple PIN protection or biometric data.

Most people purchase a safe to protect personal valuables from fire or theft. Your circumstances, as well as personal preferences, determines your needs in what type of safe you need. There are a lot of safes out there, especially if you take into account all the small and portable safes. But when it comes to the larger home and gun safes, there are three main styles based upon where the safe is placed. Those three styles are floor, in-floor and wall safes.

When I think of wall safes, I think of TV or movies and safecracking. Such as Jennifer Garner in Alias having to steal the priceless Rambaldi artifact from the bad guy's office safe. In movies, the safe seems to usually be hidden behind a picture, like in the Thomas Crown Affair, so that may not be the best way to disguise wall safe since that would be the first place any movie goer would look.

Wall safes are usually smaller than floor safes, are not very difficult to install, and provide convenient storage for important items. Of course, if installed in dry wall, it is not very secure from burglars since they could just remove the entire safe and carry it off to open else where. If you need security and not just fire protection (which you probably want, or why would you conceal your safe in a wall? Just because its cool?) then you need to install the safe with concrete in a concrete, block or brick wall.

Wall Vault Biometric This hand gun safe is the perfect place to store your guns without worrying who can get to them. Secure your firearm with this wall safe that is Department of Justice approved for home safety. Do you feel safe in your home or neighborhood Have you thought about having a hand gun in the house for protection but don't want your kids to get a hold of it Gun ownership comes with many responsibilities but now you'll have one less to worry about. This hand gun safe is the perfect place to store your firearms without having to worry about who can access to them. This wall safe uses the latest advances in fingerprint measurement technology to quickly allow you access to your gun safe and prevents unauthorized people from getting in.  he main storage space of the home safe can accommodate approximately two hand guns while the hidden storage compartment in the back of this in wall safe is the perfect place to ammunition and other small valuables such as jewelry passports and credit cards.  The biometric sensor can store up to 6 different fingerprints scans so you won't have to worry about loosing keys for this wall safe.

Floor safes are the style seen a lot in local sports and general stores. These are safes that, as you can probably guess, are designed to sit on the floor. They are normally quite heavy and are bolted down, usually to the floor but often to a wall also, or two walls if the safe is placed in a corner. Both the weight and the bolts are huge deterrents to burglars. If you are not placing your floor safe on a ground floor, you will want to make sure that the floor can support the weight of the safe. The last thing you want is your safe to break through the floor and fall to the basement or apartment bellow you!

In its own weird way, an in-floor safe is a combination of floor and wall safes. You use the floor instead of the wall, and you place the safe inside of it. These types of safes often do not meet UL construction guidelines to earn a UL fire rating, but still are fairly safe against fire and burglary if installed wisely. The best place to put an in-floor safe is in the corner of your concrete basement floor. The basement because it is the lowest floor in your house. Fire rises, so the safe won't get as hot as quickly as a safe higher up in your house. This gives the extra fire protection desired and compensates for the lack of in-floor safes not meeting UL standards. The concrete is best for the same reasons wall safes are more secure in concrete - harder to carry off. And finally, in the corner because if someone does try to break into your safe, it makes it a lot more uncomfortable for the thief, it is harder to access from all sides and therefore takes longer to break into.

Any of these three styles of safes is great for protecting your valuables, you just have to decide what works best for you. If you are building a home, then it is an opportune time for installing in-floor or wall safes, but these can be installed in any home at any time as long as you meet the manufactures guidelines. So don't be deterred and rule out these options. Check out all options before choosing your safe.
