i think he is talking about a safebox in his house, he can control it easily if he know the combination
That's a horrible idea, what if your house is broken into and someone grabs your lockbox? you pry those things open in seconds with a crowbar
I honestly believe my methods are the safest possible:
For my hot wallet I use my Trezor, for cold I use paper wallets and store them in a safe deposit box (
insured! 
)
I also keep my
recovery card in my safe deposit box
