Yale safes – an affordable way to protect against burglary

Concerned about being burgled this winter?

Sadly, that concern isn’t unwarranted.

Due to the cost of living crisis, the UK is facing an incredibly harsh winter. Millions of families across the country are likely to fall into financial difficulty over the coming months. And as a result, police forces are gearing up to deal with a huge surge in crime.

In a recent report, it was predicted that the current economic turmoil – coupled with pressure to spend more during the festive period – will drive an increase in ‘acquisitive offences’.

In other words, theft.

As a homeowner, it’ll be more important than ever to keep your house secure – and ensure your cash and valuables are as safe as possible. And one of the most effective (and crucially, cheapest!) ways to do that is by investing in a home safe.

Protect your valuables with a cheap home safe

Here at eSafes, we have a diverse range of home safes available to choose from – including models with different lock types, a selection of different sizes and various cash ratings.

However, everyone is feeling the pinch right now. And if you’d like to protect your possessions, without having to raid the Christmas fund, our no.1 recommendation would be a Yale safe.

These offer particularly excellent value for money.

Yale is one of the most trusted security brands in the UK. With over 180 years of experience, their home safes offer an unparalleled level of security – featuring advanced locking mechanisms, integrated alarms, anti-drill plates etc. – and benefit from a high insurance approval rating. Yet, they’re still very affordable.

If you’re looking for a cheap home safe that will do the job well – protecting your property against winter burglaries, without breaking your bank – then Yale is the way to go.

Low-cost Yale home safes

Our top three picks.

1. Yale Value Small Safe

Available for £40 (£48 Inc. VAT)

An ideal option for anyone on a limited budget.

Secured with 15mm solid steel bolts and fitted with an electronic lock, this Yale home safe may be compact – but it’s certainly very sturdy. And its 8-litre volume is perfect for storing small valuables commonly found in the home, such as cash, tech items and jewellery.

Installation bolts are included, allowing you to easily fix the box to the wall or floor.

As a very user-friendly model, it’s also perfect for regular day-to-day use. Lock it up using a 3-8 digit PIN code and rest in the knowledge that the contents are fully secure. And if you ever forget the PIN, simply use the back-up key hidden behind the logo to open it up again.

This is high-quality yet low-cost home security at its finest.

2. Yale Alarmed Medium Safe

Available for £57 (£68.40 Inc. VAT)

Also part of Yale’s value range, the Yale Alarmed Medium Safe is a bigger and better option – fitted with extra security features. Yet it’s still available for a fantastic price.

In addition to 16mm solid steel locking bolts and an electronic PIN code lock, this model also features an integrated 130dB alarm. After three failed attempts to unlock the safe, or if the unit is tampered with in any way, the built-in siren will sound to alert your attention.   

This particular home safe also benefits from a generous 16-litre volume, with plenty of space to keep sensitive documents, electronics, jewellery, keys and more.

Simply mount it to the wall using the fixings provided. Lock and unlock it using the programmable digital keypad and keep your valuables safe this winter.

3. Yale High Security Motorised Safe

Available for £90 (£108 Inc. VAT)

This is one of our best-selling Yale safes – and with good reason.

It may be slightly more expensive, but the Yale High Security Motorised Safe is worth its weight in gold and a formidable deterrent for would-be thieves. It benefits from:

• PIN code access, with 100,000+ possible combinations
• a superior locking mechanism, with two 20mm anti-saw bolts
• reinforced hinges
• laser cut doors that provide protection against attack
• a 1 minute lockdown function, activated by three incorrect PIN attempts

As a result of these superior security features, it has a £1000 cash rating and a valuables rating of up to £10,000. Fill this 9.7 litre steel unit with your sentimental, high value and confidential items, and protect the things that matter to you the most.

Invest in a Yale safe for your home

Of course, to reduce the chance of your home being targeted this winter, there are lots of little things you can do – which cost virtually nothing. Such as locking your windows and doors, activating your house alarm and putting a light on when you go out (which costs less than 1p per hour!).

But– the best, and most cost-effective way, to protect your valuables is using a Yale home safe.

The three models above are our personal recommendations, here at eSafes, which we believe offer particularly good value for money. But we have a diverse range available, including something to suit all size and security requirements, preferences and budgets.

Keeping your valuables out of the wrong hands doesn’t have to leave you out of pocket. Simply browse our full online collection, invest in an affordable home safe, and protect your most prized possessions from the predicted surge of burglaries.
