Solid steel home safe
Heavy-gauge steel body and door, hardened anti-drill plating, and 32mm chrome-plated locking bolts. Built to a higher specification than the typical home safe and ready for decades of use.
Home Safe Series
HS Series High-security commercial and domestic safes
The HS Series is Dominator's flagship home safe range — engineered for households that want serious protection for documents, jewellery, cash and valuables. Five models from compact HS-1 through full-height HS-5, all with 32mm chrome-plated locking bolts, hardened anti-drill plating and insurable cash ratings to $40,000.
Why HS Series
Engineered for the home.
$40K cash, $400K valuables
Insurable cash rating $40,000 and valuables rating $400,000 across the range. Independent ratings your home insurer can use to set jewellery, cash and contents sub-limits.
Configurable to your storage
Five sizes from 24L (HS-1) to 147L (HS-5). HS-3, HS-4 and HS-5 share footprint pairings for upgrade paths. Three lock options — key, dial or electronic.

HS-1
While the HS-1 is the smallest in the series, it is still large enough to securely store vital A4 documents inside. Secured by 3 extra-large 32mm diameter locking bolts, the HS-1 is the perfect domestic safe.

Independently tested burglary protection
HS Series safes are built around a realistic home-attack profile — opportunistic forced entry, prying, and basic drilling. Heavy-gauge steel body and door, hardened anti-drill plating around the lock, and 32mm chrome-plated locking bolts that engage across the opening side. Spring-loaded case relocker engages if the lock is attacked.
Insurance ratings (AUD)
HS Series safes carry insurable ratings that your home or business insurer can use to set sub-limits for cash, jewellery and valuables:
- Cash rating: $40,000 across the range
- Valuables rating: $400,000
For higher ratings, the DS Series ($80–90K) or commercial FA / FX Series provide additional steps. Your dealer can confirm exact specifications.

Engineering
Construction and Security Features
HS Series safes are engineered around the realistic attack profile a home safe faces — opportunistic prying, basic drilling, and forced removal. Every feature below is standard across the range.
Solid steel body and door
Heavy-gauge steel construction throughout. Reinforced framework provides strength against forced-entry attacks.
32mm chrome-plated bolts
Locking bolt count scales 3 → 5 across the range. Chrome plating prevents corrosion through decades of use.
Hardened anti-drill plating
Hardened steel anti-drill plating around the lock and a spring-loaded case relocker that engages if the lock is attacked.
Single-lock and multi-bolt
HS-1 includes 3 active + 3 fixed bolts; HS-2 onwards uses handle-driven multi-point bolt work for prying resistance.
Lift-off hinges
Hinge design that protects against hinge attacks — the door remains secured even if hinges are removed.
Configurable interior
Adjustable shelves on HS-2 onwards. HS-1 includes a single shelf to organise documents and small items.
Universal lock footprint
Standardised lock mounting allows easy conversion between key, combination and electronic lock types.
Textured black paint
Durable textured black paint finish provides lasting protection against scratches and corrosion.
Available in base mounting
Available in Left & Right Hand Hinge
HS Series safes can be specified left-hand or right-hand hinge. Standard stock is RHH with limited stock of LHH. Confirm hinge handing with your dealer at time of order.
Lock Options
Lock Options and Upgrades
Every HS Series model is available in three lock configurations as standard. All lock types use a universal footprint, meaning conversion between types is straightforward for a qualified safe technician.

Upgrade
Secondary Key Lock Upgrade
HS Series safes can be specified with a secondary Ross 700 key lock for layered security. Adding a secondary lock can satisfy specific insurance requirements for higher-value contents.
Universal Lock Footprint

For Specifiers
DS Series Specification Tips
HS-3 vs HS-4 — depth or height
HS-3 and HS-4 share volume but differ in form: HS-3 is a 510mm cube; HS-4 is taller (685mm) but narrower in depth (380mm). Pick HS-4 where wall depth is constrained.
HS-3 / HS-5 share footprint
HS-5 is the same 510×510mm footprint as HS-3 but 845mm tall — making it an upgrade path if your storage needs grow. Plan installation with that in mind.
Lock by access frequency
Daily-access households typically prefer the electronic Tecnosicurezza Pulse 2; weekly or monthly access works fine on the Group 2 dial; key lock is the most cost-efficient and reliable for occasional access.
Lifetime Initiative
Power for Life Free batteries for the lifetime of your safe.
Every DS Series safe with an electronic or biometric lock is covered by our Power for Life initiative. Once a year, you can redeem a free replacement battery at any authorised Dominator dealer — no receipts, no conditions, for as long as you own the safe.
It's our way of making sure your safe stays accessible for decades, not just years.
Power for Life applies across the full range: HS Series, DS Series, GC Series (gun cabinets), FA Series and FX Series.

Setup
Installation
What to expect
Most HS Series safes can be installed by your dealer or a qualified safe installer. HS-1 and HS-2 can be positioned by one or two people; HS-3 onwards typically requires a trolley.
Floor bolting is strongly recommended — an unbolted home safe can be removed by a determined thief. HS Series safes include 4 internal recessed bolt-down provisions on every model.
Installation checklist
-
01
Identify fixing bolt provisions — every HS Series model has 4 × internal recessed bolt holes. Confirm hole positions with your dealer before drilling.
-
02
Identify install position with access clearance (allow for door swing and handing)
-
03
Confirm delivery access route (doorways, corridors, stairs)
-
04
Schedule installation through your dealer — most offer delivery + install as a package
-
05
Keep installation certificate for insurance records
Base Anchoring Provisions

Secondary Defence
Glass Relocker Protection
HS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
How it works
A thin glass plate is embedded behind the primary lock body. If a drilling, punch, or torch attack breaks the glass, spring-loaded secondary bolts deploy and jam the locking mechanism. Once activated, the safe cannot be opened even if the primary lock is subsequently bypassed — it requires professional recovery by a qualified safe technician.
The relocker is a permanent protection feature, not a consumable. It exists to make the safe effectively unusable to an attacker even if they partially succeed against the primary lock.
If your relocker activates
If you cannot open your safe and suspect the relocker has engaged (usually after attempted forced entry), contact your Dominator dealer immediately. Do not attempt forced opening — this can cause permanent damage to the safe body.
A qualified safe technician can recover the relocker and restore normal operation. The safe itself remains structurally sound and can usually return to service after a relocker recovery.
Maintenance and Servicing
HS Series safes require minimal maintenance but benefit from occasional service to keep locks and hinges operating smoothly through years of use.
Every 12 months
Battery replacement (electronic/biometric locks)
Redeem your free battery through Power for Life. Replace before low-battery warnings, not after.
Every 12 months
Lock lubrication (mechanical dials)
Apply a drop of lock-grade lubricant to the dial spindle annually. Avoid WD-40 or general-purpose oils — they can gum up precision movements.
Every 12 to 24 months, depending if commercial or domestic use
Professional service
Book a qualified safe technician to inspect hinges, bolt work, and relocker mechanism. Typical service takes 30–60 minutes.
Every 5 years
Seal inspection
Check fire seals (where fitted) for compression and integrity. Replace if damaged.

Troubleshooting
HS Series safes include a spring-loaded case relocker — a secondary locking mechanism designed to activate if the primary lock is attacked. Understanding how it works helps you know when it’s engaged and what to do if it is.
Electronic lock won't open — no response from keypad.
Battery is most likely depleted. Replace the 9V battery and try your code again. Use a brand-new Duracell 9V Alkaline battery only. If the keypad still doesn’t respond, contact your dealer for diagnosis.
Electronic lock responds but rejects correct code.
Mechanical dial won't open — combination correct but bolts don't retract.
Lock is working, but handle does not unlock.
Safe door is difficult to open or close.
Safe is damaged or inoperable after attempted forced entry.
