Questions people ask

Will a compact safe hold letter-size documents?
Some will, but many small models are narrower than a flat sheet of paper. Check the interior width and depth before buying.
Should a small safe be bolted down?
Anchoring it to a floor or shelf makes it harder to carry away. Many models include pre-drilled holes and bolts for this.
