Sussex Grade 1 (Size 4) Digital Safe Installed in a Wardrobe in Oakley, Bedfordshire
(case study 03046)
A Grade 1 Safe for the Customer’s Wardrobe
London & Home Counties Safes supplied and professionally installed a Sussex Grade 1 (Size 4) Digital Safe for a customer in Oakley, near Bedford, Bedfordshire MK43.
The customer required a substantial electronic safe for protecting jewellery, watches, cash, documents and other household valuables, while keeping the unit discreetly positioned within existing bedroom furniture.
The Size 4 provided generous internal storage without requiring the much larger footprint of the tallest models in the Sussex Eurograde 1 range.
EN 1143-1 Grade 1 Certification
The Sussex Size 4 is independently attack-tested and certified by VdS to EN 1143-1 Grade 1.
It has a recommended insurance rating of £10,000 for cash or £100,000 for valuables.
55 Litres of Internal Storage
The safe measures 585mm high, 415mm wide and 425mm deep externally, with additional projection for the lock, handle and hinges.
Its internal dimensions are 509mm high, 355mm wide and 305mm deep. The safe weighs 105kg and provides approximately 55 litres of storage capacity.
One adjustable and removable shelf allows the interior to be organised across two levels or removed when taller items need to be accommodated.
Positioned Discreetly Inside the Wardrobe
The safe was installed inside an existing wardrobe at the Oakley property, placing it outside the immediate line of sight while keeping it convenient to access.
The available space was checked to ensure that the safe door, handle and electronic keypad could be operated without catching the wardrobe doors or surrounding woodwork.
The selected position also allowed the 105kg safe to be properly supported and professionally anchored within the wardrobe.
Professional Anchoring Within the Wardrobe
The Sussex Grade 1 (Size 4) is manufactured with both rear and base fixing options, allowing the installer to select the most appropriate anchoring arrangement for the chosen position.
For this installation, the safe was professionally anchored within the wardrobe using suitable fixing points for the supporting structure.
The supplied case-study record does not state the exact number of fixings, the anchor type or the wall and floor construction. Those details have therefore not been assumed in this write-up.
Appropriate anchoring helped resist the safe being tilted, dragged or removed from its installed position and provided security beyond the safe’s 105kg weight alone.
Three-Way Locking Boltwork
The door is protected by three-way square locking boltwork with continuous protection along the hinge side.
The wide-opening door provides clear access to the interior when the surrounding wardrobe space permits.
Digital Lock Setup and Customer Handover
After the safe had been installed, the electronic lock and locking mechanism were checked.
The customer was shown how to operate the VdS Class 2 digital keypad and how to set their personal access code.
The lock supports two user codes and a time-delay facility, giving the customer flexibility in how access to the safe is managed.
We checked that the customer was comfortable opening and securing the safe before completing the handover.
Final Checks and Cleanup
The safe’s stability, door movement and keypad operation were checked once the installation had been completed.
Packaging and installation debris were removed, leaving the wardrobe and surrounding area clean and ready for use.
