Double Safe Installation SW3 Kensington and Chelsea
2 x Sussex Grade 1 (Size 2) Digital Safes Fitted in South West London
(case study 01464)
We completed a comprehensive security project in South West London, carrying out a double safe installation for a client in the Kensington and Chelsea (SW3) area. The homeowner required a high level of protection for their assets, leading us to install two Sussex Grade 1 (Size 2) Digital Safes at the same property. These safes are a premier choice for high-end residential security, as they are Eurograde 1 insurance rated. This means each unit is certified to protect up to £10,000 in cash or £100,000 in valuables, providing a combined total of £200,000 in certified coverage for the client’s collection.
The primary goal of this SW3 safe installation was to provide robust security while maintaining the aesthetic of the home. We professionally installed the two safes into two different wardrobes, ensuring they were tucked away discreetly. To meet strict insurance standards and ensure maximum resistance against removal, we performed a heavy-duty bolt-down service for both units. For the first safe installation (shown in the pictures of the safe in the black wardrobe) we drilled through the rear panel of the wardrobe and into the wall behind it.
We then put a high-strength expanding anchor through the back fixing hole of the safe through the wardrobe rear panel and into the brick wall. Extreme care was taken not to scratch the interior of the wardrobe. Then we screwed down the base of the safe into the wooden shelf of the wardrobe, through the bottom fixing hole. This precision fitting is essential for Euro Grade 1 safes, as it ensures the physical security of the units matches their high-specification locking mechanisms.
For the second safe installation (shown in the pictures of the safe in the grey wardrobe, we used the same process. An expanding anchor through the rear of the safe and into the wall and the base of the safe was screwed into the wardrobe wooden floor.
Both safes are equipped with high-security digital keypads, allowing the user to set their own unique access codes for quick and reliable entry. After the installation was finalized and the work areas were cleaned and left spotless, we provided a full demonstration to the homeowner.
We walked them through the programming of the electronic locks and shared best practices for maintaining their new home security systems.

The SW3 postcode district is the heart of Chelsea, located within the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea in South West London. It occupies a prime riverside position on the north bank of the Thames, bordered by Knightsbridge to the north, Belgravia to the east, and Fulham to the west. The area is defined by its prestigious garden squares and iconic thoroughfares, most notably the King's Road and Sloane Avenue. It is exceptionally well-served by public transport, with Sloane Square and South Kensington Underground stations providing access to the District, Circle, and Piccadilly lines, while numerous bus routes offer scenic travel across the West End and toward the City. Chelsea began its life as a rural village and fishing port, known in the medieval period as "Chelchith," likely meaning a landing place for chalk or limestone. By the 16th century, it became known as the "Village of Palaces" after King Henry VIII built a manor house there and Sir Thomas More established his home in the area. Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, it evolved into a fashionable residential enclave for the aristocracy and a bohemian retreat for artists and writers, including the likes of Oscar Wilde, J.M.W. Turner, and the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. In the 20th century, Chelsea became a global epicentre of cultural change during the "Swinging Sixties," as the King's Road served as the birthplace of the mini-skirt and the punk movement, led by designers like Mary Quant and Vivienne Westwood. This unique blend of royal heritage and avant-garde rebellion has cemented its status as one of London's most famous neighbourhoods. Visitors are drawn to SW3 for its high-end shopping, world-class art, and historic architecture. The Saatchi Gallery, located in the Duke of York's Square, is a major cultural destination showcasing contemporary art in a grand former military building. Nearby, the Royal Hospital Chelsea, designed by Sir Christopher Wren in the 17th century, is home to the famous Chelsea Pensioners and serves as the annual venue for the world-renowned Chelsea Flower Show. The Chelsea Physic Garden, established in 1673, remains a hidden gem where visitors can explore one of the oldest botanical collections in Europe. Shopping enthusiasts frequent the King's Road for its mix of luxury boutiques and independent labels, while the colourful terraced houses of Bywater Street provide one of the most photographed backdrops in the city. The area is also famous for its culinary scene, ranging from historic pubs like The Pheasantry to Michelin-starred dining near Sloane Square.
