Euro Grade 1 Keylocking Safe installed in Battersea, South West London SW11
Euro Grade 1 Keylocking Safe installed in Battersea
(case study 03214)
A Compact Eurograde 1 Safe for a First-Floor Wardrobe
Our customer in Battersea wanted a compact, insurance-rated safe with a traditional key lock that could be discreetly installed on the first floor of the property. After discussing what they wanted to protect and looking at the available space, we recommended the Securikey Euro Grade 1 - 1015N Keylocking Safe and suggested the bedroom wardrobe as the most suitable fixing location.
This Grade 1 safe is independently certified to EN 1143-1 and carries recommended insurance ratings of £10,000 for cash and £100,000 for valuables. At 55kg, with 17 litres of internal storage, it is also a relatively compact Euro Grade One model and was well suited to the available wardrobe space.
Once the safe had been positioned, our installer checked the opening of the safe door in relation to the space inside the wardrobe cupboard and then marked the two fixing holes.
Rear Fixing Through the Wardrobe into Brickwork
The main structural fixing was made through the rear of the safe and through the back of the wardrobe into the brick wall behind.
After moving the safe away from the work area, our installer drilled through the wardrobe rear panel and into the brickwork before repositioning the safe and fitting one heavy-duty expanding anchor bolt through the rear fixing point of the safe.
This gave the EuroGrade I safe a direct structural fixing to the fabric of the building while still allowing it to remain neatly concealed inside the first-floor wardrobe.
Additional Joinery Fixing into the Wardrobe Base
The safe was also fixed through the bottom of the safe into the wardrobe’s wooden base using one coach bolt. This second fixing was a joinery fixing rather than a fixing into the fabric of the building.
Used alongside the rear masonry anchor, the coach bolt added extra removal resistance.
The finished installation made good use of the available wardrobe space and kept the Eurograde One safe illuminated by the interior wardrobe strip light (ideal for seeing the keylock hole).
Finished, Cleaned and Ready to Use
The Securikey 1015N provides 17 litres of internal storage with one adjustable and removable shelf. It is fitted with a VdS Class 1 double-bitted key lock and is supplied with two keys.
After the fixing work was complete, our installer cleared away the drilling dust and left the wardrobe and surrounding room tidy.
The customer was then shown the operation of the keylocking safe and advised the best methods for storing the keys. Before leaving, our installer gave the customer their certificate of installation.

About Battersea, South West London SW11
Battersea occupies a prominent stretch of the south bank of the River Thames in South West London. Before its major nineteenth-century expansion, much of the district consisted of riverside settlements, market gardens and open fields.
The historic heart of Battersea survives around Battersea Square and St Mary’s Church, while the area’s growth accelerated rapidly after the arrival of the railways in the nineteenth century. Clapham Junction developed into one of London’s most important railway interchanges and remains a major transport hub for the area.
Battersea Park is one of the district’s best-known landmarks. The 200-acre Victorian park was created in the nineteenth century and includes a riverside promenade, lake, landscaped gardens, sports facilities and the Pump House Gallery.
The riverside is also home to Battersea Power Station, designed by Sir Giles Gilbert Scott and now one of London’s most recognisable restored industrial landmarks. Nearby Albert Bridge and Battersea Bridge provide further distinctive features along the Thames.
Much of SW11 is characterised by Victorian and Edwardian residential streets, mansion blocks and later developments, with areas around Northcote Road, Lavender Hill and Battersea Park forming particularly well-known local neighbourhoods.
Transport connections include Clapham Junction, Battersea Park and Queenstown Road railway stations, extensive bus routes and nearby Northern line services, giving Battersea strong links with Central London and other parts of the capital.
