S2 Rated Digital Safe installed in Wiltshire
(case study 03097)
A Roomier S2 Safe for the Study Cupboard
Our customer in Warminster wanted a digital safe with enough room for jewellery, watches, cash, passports, important documents and other household valuables, but they also wanted it kept discreetly out of sight. The study cupboard offered a very good location, so after checking the available space and fixing surfaces we recommended the Burton Safes Torino S2 Size 3E Digital Safe.
A study cupboard that is actually deep enough for a safe is always a promising start. In this case we also had a solid wall behind the cupboard and a substantial wooden base beneath it, which meant we could secure the safe in two places rather than relying on a single fixing surface.
Four Rear Anchors Through the Cupboard
The Torino Size 3E has four pre-drilled rear fixing holes, and we used all four on this installation. With the safe positioned where the customer wanted it, our installer marked the fixing points through the back of the safe and through the rear panel of the study cupboard as well as the base fixing markings.
The safe was then moved away from the work area so the wall behind could be drilled accurately. Once the holes had been prepared and the drilling dust cleared away, the safe was returned to position and four heavy-duty expanding anchor bolts were installed through the rear of the safe and cupboard into the wall behind.
This gave the safe four direct structural fixings to the wall, rather than treating the cupboard itself as a joinery fixing.
Four Coach Screws Through the Base
The installation did not stop with the rear anchors. The Size 3E also has four pre-drilled fixing holes in its base, so all four were used to secure the safe to the wooden base of the study cupboard.
Our installer fitted four coach screws through the safe base and into the timber beneath. These additional fixings helped lock the safe down vertically while the expanding anchors at the rear held it firmly back against the wall.
That gave us eight fixing points altogether: four expanding anchor bolts into the wall and four coach screws into the cupboard base. Where the construction gives us the opportunity to use both sets of factory fixing points, we would much rather make use of them.
Neatly Hidden and Ready for Everyday Use
With all eight fixings tightened, the safe sat neatly within the study cupboard and remained easy to reach when required. Its flush-fitting keypad and door help keep the overall depth tidy, which is particularly useful when a safe is being fitted inside existing furniture.
The Torino Size 3E has internal dimensions of approximately 330mm high, 460mm wide and 295mm deep, with a 47-litre capacity and one removable shelf. The electronic lock also includes 2 emergency override keys and an external battery power point in case the internal batteries ever run flat.
Once the installation was complete, our installer cleaned any remaining dirt from the working area and showed the customer how to programme and operate the digital keypad. Before leaving, the customer was also given their certificate of installation.

About Warminster, Wiltshire BA12
Warminster is an historic market town in west Wiltshire, lying close to the edge of Salisbury Plain. The name is generally associated with the River Were and the town's ancient minster church, and archaeological evidence points to activity in the area from the Saxon period onwards.
The settlement developed around the Minster Church and later around the Market Place. By the medieval period Warminster had become an important local trading centre, and its market grew steadily in significance. By the sixteenth century the town was particularly well known for its corn market, while clothing and malting also became important local industries.
The eighteenth century was a prosperous period for Warminster, leaving a legacy of historic buildings in streets including Vicarage Street, Church Street, Silver Street and the High Street. The town was also an early adopter of turnpike road improvements, helping strengthen its connections with the surrounding region.
The railway arrived in 1851 and contributed to further change in the town. During the twentieth century Warminster expanded considerably, while its long association with the British Army and nearby Salisbury Plain became another important part of its identity.
Today Warminster provides rail services towards Salisbury, Bath and Bristol and is close to the A36, giving road connections towards Bath, Salisbury and the wider West Country. The surrounding area also includes attractions and landscapes associated with Longleat, the Wylye Valley and the western edge of Salisbury Plain.
