Furniture Installation
The Strongbox safe is intended to be secured inside suitable furniture. The supporting cupboard, wardrobe or cabinet must be strong enough to accept the supplied fixings and resist removal of the safe.
Before installation, check:
- The available furniture width, depth and height
- The strength and condition of the fixing surface
- Clearance for the hinged door to open fully
- Access to the cylinder and operating key
- The position of furniture fittings, wiring and pipes
- Any fixing requirements specified by your insurer
Fix the safe to a substantial part of the furniture rather than a thin removable panel. Installation should follow the supplied instructions and use fixings appropriate for the supporting material.
Cash and Valuables Rating
The published £1,000 overnight cash rating is a guide rather than an automatic insurance guarantee. The accepted limit may depend on the installation method, property security, alarm protection, stored contents and the insurer's assessment of the risk.
Confirm the required cash or valuables rating with your insurer before ordering the safe or storing insured property.
Fire Protection
The supplied specification describes the Strongbox as a security safe and does not state a tested fire-resistance rating. Where protection against heat or fire is required, compare the range of fireproof safes and cabinets .
