SERVICE AREA & FREE INSTALLATION
Free Installation Area
The safes that we install for no extra charge are called 'Free Standing Safes' also known as 'Bolted Safes'. We install Free Standing Safes without extra charge in rough radius of 70 miles from our warehouse in Herefordshire, Sometimes we go a little bit further so please do get in touch to see if we cover your location.
Please read further down this page to see the types of safes that we do and do not install.
Free Standing Safes
This is a Free Standing Safe that we have installed for a customer.
'Free Standing' doesn't mean that the safe is unsecured to the building. In fact it is a requisite of home insurance that the safe is 'anchored to the fabric of the building'.
If you look closely inside the safe you will the the four heavy duty anchor bolts that we have used to fasten the safe to the brick wall at the back of this customer's cupboard.
(the specific safe in this photo is our Bloomsbury 40K Size 4)
Wall Safes
This is a Wall Safe. Wall Safes are installed inside the actual wall. It's a messy job involving removing plaster and bricks in order to make a hole to contain the safe so that the safe door is flush with the wall, the safe is then concreted into place. You can then hang a picture over the safe to disguise it. It's rare to find walls thick enough in UK homes suitable for a Wall Safe. It's a job best suited to a builder our a super keen D.I.Y. enthusiast.
We sell Wall Safes and can deliver anywhere in the UK Mainland but we do not install them.
Underfloor Safes
This is an Underfloor Safe that we supplied and our customer self-installed. Underfloor Safes are installed inside the actual floor. It's a messy job involving excavating the floor in order to make a hole to contain the safe so that the safe door is flush with the floor, the safe is then concreted into place. We sell Underfloor Safes and can deliver anywhere in the UK Mainland but we do not install them. In the USA they call them Floor Safes.
Floorboard Safes
This is a Floorboard Safe. It's installed into a typical suspended wooden floor. To install a section of the floorboards are removed and the safe is lowered into the floor cavity and then bolted to two floor joists using coach screws. The sections of floorboards are then placed back on top of the safe so the floor remains flush and teh safe can then be hidden with a carpet or a rug or even a piece of furniture. We sell Floorboard Safes and can deliver anywhere in the UK Mainland but we do not install them.
