Double Safe Installation NW2 Childs Hill
2 x Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 1 Size 1 Digital Safes Fitted in Barnet
(case study 01541)
In the leafy neighbourhood of Childs Hill, NW2, security isn't just about checkboxes—it's about quality of workmanship. Our team recently completed a dual-security project in Barnet, featuring the first of two Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 1 (Size 1) Digital Safes. This powerhouse model is a favourite for high-value homes, carrying a certified Eurograde 1 insurance rating that secures up to £10,000 in cash or £100,000 in valuables, alongside LFS 30P fire protection for essential paper documents.
The first safe was expertly integrated into a sophisticated dark wood cabinet, proving that high-end security doesn't have to ruin the "vibe" of a room. As shown in the photos, the safe’s light grey finish provides a sharp, clean contrast to the deep tones of the cabinetry. This strategic placement allows the unit to hide in plain sight, securely anchored through the bottom fixing hole of the safe and into the cupboard base.
Looking inside the first safe reveals why the Aver LFS is a top-tier choice. The safe features a high-security electronic lock and a robust handle that engages solid steel locking bolts. In the photos, you can see the Automatic Magnetic Safe Light (which we sell as an add-on accessory, illuminating the dual-level storage created by the removable shelf. This makes it effortless for the homeowner to organize jewellery, watches, and passports even in the dim light of a cupboard.
Moving to the second half of this Barnet double installation, we installed the twin Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 1 (Size 1) Digital Safe in a separate wing of the property. Implementing a "double safe" strategy is ideal in home security; it allows for the separation of business and personal assets or provides dedicated secure storage for different family members. Like its counterpart, this safe offers uncompromising protection against both theft and fire.
The second safe found its home within the property's walk-in wardrobe, a popular choice for easy access during the morning routine. As you can see in the photos, the safe sits neatly on a reinforced shelf within the wardrobe's dark wood structure. The photos demonstrate the seamless integration, utilizing the vertical space to keep the safe at a comfortable height while keeping it discrete among the client's attire.
The installation of the second safe mirrors the high standards of the first, ensuring consistent security across the home. You can see the Automatic Magnetic Safe Light casting a clear glow over the interior, highlighting the thick door construction and precision-engineered locking points. A hole was drilled into the wardrobe rear panel and into the wall, where a strong expanding anchor bolt was put through the rear fixing hole and fastened into the wall. Then the bottom was bolted down into the wooden shelf. With both safes now fully operational and the owners trained on their unique digital lock access codes, this property stands as a fortress of personal security.

Childs Hill is a diverse and elevated residential district situated in the northwest corner of the London Borough of Barnet, marking the point where the urban energy of Cricklewood meets the refined greenery of Hampstead and Golders Green. Occupying the high ground of the NW2 postcode, the area provides a strategic link between Central London and the outer suburbs. While the district does not have its own eponymous station, it is extremely well-connected; it sits within a short walk of Golders Green and Hampstead stations on the Northern Line, as well as Cricklewood station for Thameslink services. Furthermore, its location at the intersection of the Finchley Road and the Hendon Way makes it a major artery for bus travel and motorists heading toward the M1 motorway. The area is named after Richard le Child, a local landowner in the 14th century, but its modern identity began to take shape in the 18th century as a prominent stop on the turnpike road to the north. Because of its elevation and panoramic views, it became a favoured spot for "gentleman farmers" and eventually for industries that required clean air, most notably the Castle Laundry, which was once the largest in London. In the early 19th century, Childs Hill became a centre for brick-making, utilizing the local clay to build much of the expanding Victorian suburbs nearby. This industrial phase gradually gave way to residential development as the railways arrived, and the area transformed into a multicultural suburb. During the early 20th century, it was a popular residence for artists and thinkers who sought a more affordable alternative to neighbouring Hampstead, leading to the eclectic architectural mix of Victorian terraces, Art Deco blocks, and modern estates seen today. Childs Hill serves as a quieter, more local alternative to its famous neighbours, yet it offers several distinct gems for the curious visitor. The district’s primary green space is Childs Hill Park, a well-loved community hub that features flower gardens, tennis courts, and a popular café. To the east, the area blends seamlessly into the vast, wild expanse of Hampstead Heath and the more formal Golders Hill Park, which houses a small zoo and a Mediterranean-style walled garden. Cultural life is anchored by the proximity to the Jewish Museum London and the Everyman Cinema in Hampstead. The high street along Finchley Road offers a cosmopolitan dining scene, reflecting the area's rich Jewish and international heritage through its bakeries and specialty grocers. One of the more unique local landmarks is the Church of All Saints, a beautiful Grade II listed Victorian building that stands as a testament to the area's mid-19th-century growth.
