As well as certified safes, we also offer a small selection of non-certified, burglar-resistant safes and storage, including our own brand Filex. These means of storage are in a lower price category and represent a good alternative for storing personal belongings or cash. They are often more compact and lighter and therefore more suitable for smaller spaces like in a wardrobe. It is, however, important that the safe is anchored in the wall or to the floor to prevent it from being removed easily.
The means of storage above have not been tested or certified by the European certification body, the ECBS, and do not offer the same protection and quality that you can expect from a safe that has been certified. If you want to store items in a safe that are of a particular value to you, we advise you to use a certified safe. With a certified safe you can also be sure that you will be covered by your insurance.
Master Lock fire-resistant private safes
Master Lock's fire-resistant private safes satisfy the UL72 US standard. The safes are tested for fire resistance and offer 60 to 120 minutes protection for paper and digital media.
Hotel safes
Our range also includes two hotel safes. These are safes that have a special electronic lock where the previously set user code is automatically erased once the safe door is opened again.
Burglar resistance standard
Good burglar safes and lockers have been tested according to European standards such as EN 14450, EN 1143-1 en EN 1143-2 (European standard for deposit vaults). The Resistance class is determined by several factors, such as metal thickness of the wall and vault door and additional retardant factors that are incorporated into the walls.
Rating Cash Valuables (cash/valuables)
Insurers apply a rating, expressed as a cash value, to the various classes of protection that safes offer to indicate the cover provided. The higher the value, the more burglar resistant the safe is.
Fire resistance standard
Good fire-resistant safes and cabinets have been tested in accordance with European standards like EN 1047-1, EN 15659 and UL 72. For the extra strict fire fall test (EN 1047-1 and UL 72), a fire resistant safe is dropped about 9.15 metres to show that the contents would still be protected from the effects of fire if the safe fell through a floor.
Fire resistance in minutes
A fire resistant safe is specially constructed to protect the contents from the effects of fire for a certain period of time. The protection offered is expressed in time: 30, 60 or 120 minutes. These are the lengths of time a safe has to offer protection against a fire before the safe reaches the critical temperature.
