Most opportunistic burglars skip the garage. Their search pattern runs through bedrooms, nightstands, medicine cabinets, and kitchen drawers—places where people reliably keep valuables. A shelf crowded with automotive fluids and solvents doesn’t register as worth checking. That’s the logic behind the Lubricant Can Diversion Safe: it belongs in exactly the kind of space that gets ignored.
Who This Diversion Safe Is For
This is a practical option for homeowners with a garage, workshop, or utility area who want a secondary concealment point outside the usual rooms. It’s also a reasonable fit for anyone who already uses diversion safes in the kitchen or bathroom and wants to extend that strategy to other parts of the house. Travelers who keep a toolbox or storage bin in a vehicle may find it useful there as well—the screw-on bottom keeps things closed if the can shifts or tips during transit.
Is It the Right Fit for You?
Choose It If You Want
- A hiding spot that looks genuinely at home on a garage or workshop shelf
- A larger interior—5.25″ x 2.5″—that accommodates watches, rolled cash, folded documents, or small jewelry
- A screw-on bottom that stays closed when bumped or shifted, rather than a pull-off lid
- An included smell-proof bag for added discretion with sensitive contents
Consider Another Option If You Need
- Concealment in a kitchen, bathroom, or pantry—a label that fits those environments will blend better
- Storage for items wider than 2.5 inches or that require a flat, rigid surface
- Physical security against forced entry—this is a concealment tool, not a lock

What’s Included and How It Works
What’s in the Box
- Lubricant can diversion safe (metal construction)
- Smell-proof bag
Care and Use
The screw-on bottom is straightforward—twist to open, twist to close. Keep the exterior clean and avoid labeling or marking it in any way that would distinguish it from the other containers around it. The smell-proof bag can be used inside the compartment to contain odors or simply to keep smaller items organized within the 5.25″ x 2.5″ interior.
Lubricant Can Diversion Safe: Frequently Asked Questions
What fits inside the Lubricant Can Diversion Safe?
The interior measures 5.25″ x 2.5″, which is large enough for a watch, a small roll of cash, folded documents, lightweight jewelry, or a combination of smaller items. It won’t accommodate electronics or anything rigid and wider than 2.5 inches. The included smell-proof bag can be placed inside to help organize or contain contents.
How does the Lubricant Can Diversion Safe open?
The bottom of the can screws off to reveal the compartment. This is more secure than a pull-off design—it stays closed if the can is tipped or bumped on a shelf. To access the contents, simply turn the bottom counterclockwise. There is no key or combination required.
Where should I place this diversion safe for best results?
It’s designed to blend in on a garage or workshop shelf alongside other automotive and mechanical supplies. The more it resembles a working part of an existing collection of cans and bottles, the less noticeable it becomes. It can also work in a storage unit or vehicle toolbox where similar items are present.
Does the smell-proof bag actually contain odors?
The included smell-proof bag is designed to reduce or contain odors from stored items. It can be placed inside the compartment and used to hold contents you’d prefer to keep discreet. It also helps keep smaller items from shifting around inside the can.
Add This to Your Concealment Strategy
Diversion works best when it’s layered—one hiding spot in one room is easier to stumble across than several spread across different areas of a home. If you have a garage, workshop, or utility space that already holds automotive supplies, this can sits there without explanation. Add it to your cart to extend your concealment points beyond the usual rooms.
