The first thing to determine is:
Budget – Quality safes can be found that will fit any budget.
The Size and Weight – will vary greatly depending on the type of safe and the volume required to store the items you want to protect.

Construction

Heavy-duty Steel – The walls of the safe should be constructed of 14-6 gauge steel.
Concealed Hinges – Many of the top-rated home safes will use concealed hinges and/or deadlocks.
Live Door Bolts – Most home safes will have 2-4 on the side of the door.

A quality safe for your home can protect against theft, fire, or even water. Not all models protect against all these risks.

The most common types of homes safes are:
Portable – A small home safe to bring the safe with your valuables and important paperwork with you.
Wall Safe – Installed in between the wall studs, they can be easily concealed behind furniture or prints and paintings.
Stand-Alone – They come in a variety of sizes and may provide additional protection against fire, water, and theft.
