Safe Installation SW10 Chelsea
Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 2 Size 0 Digital Safe Fitted in South West London
(case study 01608)
Another safe installation that we carried out in Chelsea (SW10), was the fitting of a Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 2 (Size 0) Digital Safe. This model represents a significant step up in security, carrying a certified Eurograde 2 insurance rating that covers £17,500 in cash or £175,000 in valuables. Despite its compact "Size 0" footprint, as seen in the photos, it offers formidable protection and is dual-certified to provide 30 minutes of fire resistance for paper documents.
For this installation of this Euro Grade Two safe, it was decided that it would be installed into a sturdy wardrobe base to maintain a low profile while ensuring ease of use. To achieve maximum physical stability, we utilized both of the unit's integrated anchoring points: one rear fixing hole and one base fixing hole. By bolting the safe through the back of the wardrobe panel and into the masonry and through the floor, we ensured it is fully immovable. The rear anchor was a strong expanding wall bolt specifically for masonry and concrete and the base fixing was a heavy duty screw which went into the wardrobe wooden base.
The installation was finalized with a tutorial on the high-security digital lock, as shown on the front of the safe in the photos. We guided the client through the process of setting their own unique access codes and reviewed the maintenance procedures for the electronic lock.

The SW10 postcode district covers the western portion of Chelsea and parts of West Brompton within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. It is a geographically diverse area that stretches from the ultra-exclusive garden squares of The Boltons in the north down to the riverside developments of Chelsea Harbour and the World’s End Estate in the south. While SW10 does not have its own major "Chelsea" branded tube station, it is highly accessible via several nearby hubs: Fulham Broadway, Earl’s Court, and South Kensington stations are all within a 15–20 minute walk. Additionally, the Imperial Wharf and West Brompton stations provide London Overground and National Rail links, while the Thames Clipper (river bus) serves Chelsea Harbour Pier, offering a scenic commute to the City and Canary Wharf. SW10 represents the "bohemian and industrial" side of Chelsea’s history. Originally a rural landscape of market gardens and nurseries—famed for "broom tun" (gorse farms), from which the name Brompton derives—it transformed during the 19th-century building boom. Little Chelsea: The area around Park Walk was once a distinct village known as "Little Chelsea," a popular retreat for those seeking fresh air away from London’s smog. The World's End: The name "World's End" originally belonged to a 17th-century tavern that was considered so far from London it felt like the edge of the world. In the 1960s, this area became the epicentre of "Swinging London," with the King’s Road serving as the runway for the fashion and music revolution led by figures like Mary Quant and Vivienne Westwood. Industrial Legacy: The southern edge was once dominated by the massive Lots Road Power Station (which powered the London Underground for nearly a century) and coal wharves that have since been reimagined as high-end residential and design hubs. SW10 offers a fascinating mix of high-society elegance and gritty artistic history. Brompton Cemetery: One of London’s "Magnificent Seven" Victorian cemeteries, this Grade I listed site is the final resting place of suffragette Emmeline Pankhurst and public health pioneer John Snow. Its grand central colonnade and catacombs make it one of the most atmospheric green spaces in London. Chelsea Harbour & Design Centre: A modern, Monocan-style marina that serves as a hub for luxury yachts and the world-renowned Design Centre, the largest of its kind in Europe with over 120 showrooms dedicated to interior design. Chelsea and Westminster Hospital: Beyond its medical role, the hospital is famous for its extensive public art collection and its bright, airy atrium, which often hosts live music and exhibitions. The World’s End Estate: This brutalist architectural landmark, with its distinctive circular towers, stands as a testament to 1970s social housing ambition. The Boltons: For those interested in architecture and extreme wealth, this almond-shaped garden square is one of the most expensive residential addresses in the world, featuring grand mid-19th-century villas and the beautiful St Mary The Boltons church at its centre.
