Burton Eurovault Grade 1 Size 2 Safe Installed in a Bespoke Cupboard – Chislehurst BR7
Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 1 Size 2 Digital Safe Fitted in South East London
(case study 01536)
London & Home Counties Safes recently supplied and professionally installed a Burton Eurovault Aver LFS Grade 1 (Size 2) Digital Safe for a homeowner in Chislehurst, South-East London BR7. The customer required a high-security safe for jewellery, cash, important documents and other valuables, discreetly positioned inside a bespoke wooden cupboard.. This model is highly regarded for its dual protection, offering a Eurograde 1 insurance rating—certified to protect £10,000 in cash or £100,000 in valuables—while also providing 30 minutes of fire resistance for paper documents. This makes it an ideal choice for homeowners looking to protect high-value jewellery and significant financial assets within a single, secure unit.
After assessing the available space and the customer’s required level of protection, we recommended the Burton Eurovault Size 2. This model is independently tested and certified to EN 1143-1 Grade 1 and is normally assigned a recommended insurance rating of £10,000 for cash or £100,000 for valuables. As shown in the photos, the safe was neatly integrated into a bespoke wooden cupboard unit. This placement provides an excellent layer of concealment, keeping the safe tucked away from general view while remaining easily accessible for the owner. To meet the necessary insurance specifications for a professional safe installation, we utilized the unit's pre-drilled rear fixing hole. We secured the safe using a high-strength expanding bolt through the single rear fixing hole into the solid wall behind the cupboard's rear panel. This meant that the safe was robustly fixed to the fabric of the building for insurance purposes.
The Size 2 was well suited to this installation because its relatively compact 460mm height and 440mm width allowed it to fit inside the bespoke cupboard while still providing 42 litres of internal storage. The removable shelf helps organise jewellery boxes, watches, cash and important documents. The interior of the Euro Grade One Size 2 model provides practical storage space, featuring a removable shelf to help organize smaller valuables and documents. Once the installation was complete, we demonstrated the VdS Class 2 electronic lock and helped the customer set their personal six-digit user code. We also explained the master-code function, low-battery warning and normal battery-replacement procedure.

Chislehurst is an affluent, leafy suburb located in the London Borough of Bromley, predominantly covering the BR7 postcode district. It is situated approximately 11 miles southeast of Charing Cross, acting as a green buffer between the urban density of inner South East London and the rural fringes of Kent. The area is bordered by Bromley to the west, Sidcup to the northeast, and Petts Wood to the south. Transport is highly efficient for commuters and visitors alike; Chislehurst railway station and the nearby Elmstead Woods station provide frequent, direct services to London Bridge, Charing Cross, and Cannon Street, typically reaching the city centre in under 30 minutes. The name Chislehurst is derived from the Old English words "ceosil," meaning gravel, and "hyrst," meaning a wooded hill. For centuries, it remained a small, scattered settlement on the edge of a vast common, noted for its flint and chalk mining. The town gained international historical significance in the 1870s when Camden Place, a grand local mansion, became the home of the exiled French Emperor Napoleon III and his wife, Empress Eugénie, following the collapse of the Second French Empire. After the Emperor's death, Chislehurst became a site of pilgrimage for French imperialists. In the 20th century, the area’s identity was further shaped by its subterranean landscape; the Chislehurst Caves, a massive labyrinth of man-made tunnels, were repurposed as a primary ammunition depot during World War I and later as one of the largest deep-air-raid shelters in the country during the Blitz, housing thousands of citizens in an underground "city." The most famous attraction in the district is undoubtedly the Chislehurst Caves, a 22-mile network of tunnels that offers guided lamp-lit tours exploring their history as mines, shelters, and even a legendary music venue that hosted icons like Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, and David Bowie in the 1960s. For those who prefer the outdoors, Scadbury Park Nature Reserve provides 300 acres of ancient woodland and meadows, containing the moated ruins of the 13th-century Scadbury Manor. The Chislehurst Commons, spanning 180 acres of protected scrubland and ponds, sit at the heart of the town, offering a quintessential village feel rarely found so close to London. The "Royal Parade" and the High Street serve as the local hubs for high-end boutique shopping and independent dining, while the historic Tiger's Head and The Bull's Head pubs offer a glimpse into the area's traditional coaching-inn heritage. Additionally, St. Nicholas Church remains a point of interest for its medieval architecture and monuments dedicated to the town’s most prominent former residents.
