  • Awards & Recognition: This safe range won the prestigious “Best on Test” award from Which? magazine, under the branding “Burton Torino.” The recognition highlights its outstanding security performance and reliable build quality compared to other models in its class.

  • UK Insurance Ratings: Every Bloomsbury 40K safe carries a £4,000 cash rating and a £40,000 valuables/jewellery rating. These ratings are widely recognized by UK insurers and provide peace of mind for protecting both money and high-value personal possessions.

  • Certification & Security Standards: Independently attack-tested and certified to EN14450 S2 by ICIM, the safes are built to meet strict European security standards. They are often described as having the highest security level in their category.

  • Locking Mechanisms:

    • Key lock model: Simple and reliable access with a mechanical key.

    • Electronic digital keypad model: 6–10 digit personal user code, with emergency override keys included. The keypad version also offers an external battery connection point in case of lockout.

  • Design Features:

    • Stylish Italian design with rounded corners and a matte blue paint finish.

    • Flush-fitting 10 mm solid steel door and low-profile keypad, making it suitable for discreet installation in cupboards or wardrobes.

    • Carpeted interior base to protect valuables.

    • Removable shelf for flexible storage.

  • Installation: Pre-drilled for back and base fixing, ensuring robust anchoring into walls or floors for added security.

      Both are identical products manufactured by Technomax.
