For residential or commercial customers. Whether you need a key locking, a digital combination lock or even a biometric locking safe with our range of suppliers we can help. We deal with Chubbsafes, Securikey, Phoenix Safes & the Burton Safe company.
We mainly hold the Chubb safe range in stock including home safes, laptop safes, hotel safes and deposit safes.
For home contents insurance purposes safes are graded on the security of the lock, strength of the bolts and thickness and strength of the door/walls and given an overnight ‘Cash Rating’. The most common options are £1000, £2000, £3000, £4000, £6000, £10000 upwards.
If you are only securing valuables, the ‘Cash Rating’ is x10. For example a safe with a £1000 rating is equal to £10,000 worth of valuables. Please note you cannot secure both £1000 cash and £10K of jewellery but you can split it i.e. £200 cash & £8K valuables.
Before purchasing a safe, think about what you want to secure. Will it more valuables, than cash? Paperwork or Data? Etc.. and where will it be positioned? Your safe will have to be bolted down (either base or rear fix) to concrete/brick. Also, think about future purchases, it may be worth investing in a safe with a higher cash rating.
