Safe Supply & Installation

Safe Supply & Installation

A good safe is one of the most reliable ways to protect your valuables, documents or cash at home or at work. We supply and professionally install quality safes, and can advise on the right grade and size for your needs.

Why a Professionally Installed Safe Makes All the Difference

A safe sitting on a shelf or in a wardrobe isn't a safe — it's a lockable box a burglar can walk out with. A properly installed safe, anchored to the floor or wall in the right location, is a serious deterrent and a genuine line of defence for your valuables, documents or cash.

At , we've been advising homeowners and businesses in Thanet on physical security for over 40 years. We know which safes are worth buying and which aren't, how to install them so they can't easily be removed, and where to position them for maximum effect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What safe rating do I need for home insurance purposes?

Insurance requirements vary by policy. Most domestic insurers accept a cash rating of £1,000 (valuables up to £10,000) for home use, but you should check your specific policy wording. We can advise on appropriate ratings and help you meet your insurer's requirements.

Where should I install a safe at home?

The best location depends on your property, but common choices are under-stair cupboards, utility rooms and master bedrooms. The key is somewhere that's not immediately obvious to an intruder but is accessible to you. We can assess your property and make a recommendation.

Can you open a safe if I've lost the combination or key?

In many cases, yes. Safe opening is a specialist skill and we'll always aim to open it without damage where possible. Call us with details of the safe make and model and we can advise on feasibility.

Do you install safes for businesses as well as homeowners?

Yes — we install safes for businesses of all sizes across Thanet and East Kent, from small retail premises to offices and commercial buildings requiring larger cash-rated or document safes.
