KEY SAFE INSTALLATION IN CHELMSFORD

Police Preferred & Sold Secure Approved Key Safes

Not All Key Safes Are Secure

Many key safes sold online or in DIY stores are basic key boxes that offer very little real protection. In fact, some low-cost models can be forced open within seconds using simple tools.

We only supply and install Police Preferred Specification key safes that meet recognised Sold Secure certification standards, giving you a far higher level of security and peace of mind.

What Does Sold Secure & Police Preferred Mean?

Sold Secure is an independent security testing organisation owned by the Master Locksmiths Association. Products awarded certification have undergone rigorous attack testing designed to simulate real-world break-in attempts.

Police Preferred Specification products are recognised by UK police crime prevention initiatives as meeting higher security standards.

Our approved key safes:

✔ Have passed independent attack testing
✔ Meet recognised security certification standards
✔ Offer significantly greater resistance than basic key boxes
✔ Provide safer access for carers, family members and trusted visitors

When security matters — especially for elderly or vulnerable residents — certification makes a real difference.

Professional Installation Matters

Even the most secure key safe can fail if it is installed incorrectly.

Correct fixing, positioning and wall type all affect the overall security of the unit. A poorly installed key safe can weaken the surrounding structure or make forced entry easier.

We ensure:

✔ Secure fixing into solid brick or masonry
✔ Correct positioning to reduce visibility and attack risk
✔ Professional drilling and anchoring
✔ Clean, tidy workmanship
✔ Full demonstration of how to set and change the code

We also advise on the safest and most practical location to balance security and accessibility.
