This one surprised me when I first saw it — I wouldn’t have guessed there was a compartment inside without knowing. It reads as a completely normal wall thermometer, the kind you’d see in a garage, on a porch, or hanging in a mudroom. Lightweight, works as an actual thermometer, and has a hidden compartment built in. Good option if you want something that hangs on a wall and stays completely out of the way.
Most diversion safes work by looking like something unremarkable. This one takes it a step further — it actually works as what it appears to be. The Thermometer Diversion Safe is a functional thermometer with a hidden compartment built inside. Hang it on a wall in a garage, on a back porch, in a mudroom, or in any room of the house, and it reads as exactly what it looks like: a thermometer that someone put up to check the temperature.
That dual functionality is what makes it a little more convincing than a static prop. It’s doing a job, which is exactly what you’d expect from something hanging on a wall.
This one appeals to people who want their hiding spot in a less-searched area of the house. Most people think of hiding valuables in bedrooms or living spaces, which is also where most people look. A thermometer in a garage or on a back porch is in a utility area that rarely gets searched, and it’s doing a functional job that makes it look intentional rather than placed.
It’s also a good fit for people who want something that hangs on a wall rather than sitting on a shelf. Wall-mounted items are easier to overlook — they become part of the visual background of a space. At 0.2 lbs, it’s light enough to hang without any heavy-duty hardware, and the slim profile means it doesn’t stand out.

Consider something else if you need:
The thermometer looks, mounts, and functions like a standard decorative wall thermometer. The hidden compartment is built into the body — accessed by opening or removing a section — and measures 1.625″ x 0.875″ x 6″. The depth is the useful dimension here: at 6 inches, it can hold rolled bills, a slim piece of jewelry, a USB drive, or a narrow folded document. The width at 0.875″ is the limiting factor, so think slim items rather than anything with bulk.
Because it actually functions as a thermometer, it earns its place on the wall without looking like something that was deliberately placed as a hiding spot. That’s a meaningful advantage over diversion safes that are purely props — a working thermometer has an obvious reason to be there.
At 0.2 lbs, it’s about as light as a wall item gets. Suitable for indoor and outdoor mounting, which opens up placement options that other diversion safes don’t have — a back porch, a garage wall, a garden shed, or an interior hallway all work equally well.

The Thermometer Diversion Safe weighs 0.2 lbs with interior dimensions of 1.625″ x 0.875″ x 6″. Suitable for indoor and outdoor use. Wall-mount design — minimal hardware needed given the light weight. No batteries required for the safe function; thermometer operation is passive. Categorized as both a Household Item and Outdoor & Garage diversion safe. Best suited for slim, narrow valuables like rolled cash, jewelry, or small documents.
For anyone who wants a hiding spot that earns its place on a wall and genuinely reads as a functional item, the thermometer format is one of the more believable options — especially in utility spaces where nobody’s looking closely.
Yes — it functions as a real thermometer, not just a prop. That’s actually part of what makes it convincing: it has an obvious reason to be on the wall and does what it looks like it does. The hidden compartment is built into the body without interfering with the thermometer’s function.
The narrow width is the main constraint. Rolled bills fit easily — a few bills rolled together slide right in. Slim jewelry like a thin chain necklace, small earrings, or a ring in a small pouch works. A USB drive would fit. Anything flat and narrow — like a thin folded card with account numbers or emergency contacts — is a good fit. Anything wider than about 7/8 of an inch won’t fit, so bulk is the thing to watch for.
It’s rated for both indoor and outdoor use, and a standard wall thermometer on a porch or in a garage is completely normal placement. For extended outdoor exposure, a covered area — a porch overhang, an interior garage wall — is a better long-term choice than a fully exposed exterior wall. It’ll hold up to normal outdoor conditions, but direct weather exposure over time isn’t ideal for any diversion safe.
The compartment is accessed by opening a section of the thermometer body — the specific mechanism varies by unit, but it’s designed to be straightforward once you know it’s there. The opening is not immediately obvious to someone who doesn’t know what they’re looking at, which is the whole point. You’ll figure it out within a minute of handling it.
