Don’t protect your smart home with a dumb old dead bolt. There are far more wired ways to keep valuables close-at-hand and thieves at bay. —Aaron Rowe
1. SentrySafe SFW123GTC Big Bolts Fire-Safe
With an insulated steel frame and four 1-inch-thick bolts, this safe will protect your valuables from crowbars and house fires. At 90 pounds, it’s too heavy for a crook to easily run away with, but it’s small enough (17.8 x 16.3 x 19.3 inches) to tuck in the back of a closet.
WIRED The 1.2-cubic-foot interior is deceptively roomy and broad enough for a tablet to lie flat. White LEDs illuminate the inside like a refrigerator.
TIRED Factory-set master entry code can’t be deleted. Plastic door handle feels flimsy. $346, SentrySafe
