This safe from around 1900 had a time lock inside allowing access at only certain times of day. This safe was kept inside a bank vault to protect the most valuable items.

This is an example of a safe built in the 1880's. Older safes are much more ornate, especially on the inside. The locking mechanism is covered in gold.

David Ballestrasse owns Northwest Safe in Enumclaw.

Some people are buying vault doors to seal-off rooms in their homes.

You get what you pay for. Cheaper safes have more welded joints that can be compromised by thieves.

A lot of safes are being made with a little flair so they don't look so ugly. Here's a safe inspired by Jack Daniels.

At Northwest Safe in Enumclaw, the most popular safes are 5 feet tall and 30 inches wide. Experts say the biggest mistake buyers make is buying too small.

These are examples of handgun safes. The biggest concern from consumers is if they can get into them quickly. Digital locks allow fast entry.

Thomas Lambert at Bulger Safe and Lock in Seattle shows-off a floor safe designed to be hidden under the bed. It's big enough to hold rifles and important documents.

These are floor safes. They are becoming quite popular. They are sealed in the foundation and come with covers so no one will know they are there.

Safes like these are designed for commercial uses. They have deposit slots on top. They can be installed in a variety of places.

Taller rifle safes don't cost a lot more than standard safes. They can be configured to hold more than rifles. Experts say you should always buy a safe you can grow into.

Safes come in all shapes, sizes and colors. Some have digital locks like this model. Others have wheel locks.

Inexpensive safes, like this model, can be broken-into with a screwdriver. It has a handle too. If you can grab it, so can a thief.

Safes like this model have plenty of room for important papers and documents that thieves could use to steal your identity.

This $1,100 safe features glass inside the door that when cracked sets-off a second set of internal locks.

Economy has more people buying safes
