Secure Storage Box

Effective access management and secure storage are essential to any organisation's security strategy. Our solutions are trusted globally.

Our range of security and control systems—among the most comprehensive available—is manufactured and tested to high standards, safeguarding against loss or theft even in demanding commercial settings.

High-Security Safes for Keys

Whether you need a simple safe, a mechanised control system, or a sophisticated safe box, our high-quality options maintain accountability and prevent unauthorised access across domestic, commercial, and industrial environments.

With a 3 mm steel body (as used in cash safes) and a 6 mm slab door, each unit provides exceptional protection. These boxes are widely used by prestige motor dealers, police stations, and banks across the UK.

As standard, units feature a three-way locking mechanism with 20 mm bolts and a VdS-approved lock. Combination or electronic locking can be specified. Adjustable hook bars and durable tags are included, similar to our system and vault ranges.

Deeper models are available for bunches and large fobs.

Floor-standing versions offer higher capacity with panels on telescopic slides for easy access.

Standard System Range

Made from 1.5 mm pressed and folded steel and offered with five locking options, the Standard System Range stores and tracks up to 600 sets with adjustable hook bars for different lengths.

Each unit has a robust powder-coated finish (RAL 7035), a removable control index for out-of-hours peace of mind, colour-coded bars, and numbered tags for quick identification.

For larger requirements, the deep System Range provides extra space for bunches or mixed contents. Models offer 35, 48, 100, 150, or 200 hanging points.

Ideal for domestic and commercial use where control and tracking are required.

Vaults

Designed to meet insurer expectations for controlling and tracking items linked to high-value assets or property, our Vaults provide roughly twice the strength of standard security ranges.

Constructed from 2.5 mm fabricated steel with a flush-closing door and removable hinge pins for upgrades, these are ideal for commercial use and function much like a high-security box.

Supplied with a half euro profile cylinder as standard, with upgrade options to integrate with an existing master system.

Like the System range, the Vault includes adjustable hook bars, a removable index, and deeper versions for bunch storage—offering flexibility comparable to premium safes.

What’s the difference between a storage unit and a safe for keys?

A wall-mounted or free-standing organiser typically holds many sets (20–600+) with hooks, tags, and indexing, prioritising order and accessibility. A safe is a smaller, heavier-duty box with thicker steel (≈3–6 mm) aimed at higher security for fewer sets, often meeting insurer standards with enhanced locking.

How much does commercial storage cost in the UK?

Typical prices range from £49 for basic 20-hook organisers to £2,500+ for electronic systems with audit. Mid-range (50–100 hooks) costs £150–£400; large capacity (200+) is £400–£1,200. Drivers of price: capacity, locking type, steel thickness, insurance rating, and extras like tracking software or biometrics.

What locking options are available?

Five common options: cam locks (basic), digital combinations (keyless codes), electronic systems (audit + users), euro cylinders (master-suite integration), and biometrics (fingerprint/card). Many products support upgrades as needs evolve.

How do I pick the right size?

Count what you manage today and add 30–40% for growth. Bunches need 150 mm+ depth; single items fit 80 mm. Small offices: 20–50 hooks; dealerships: 100–300; hotels/property managers: 200–600. Consider wall space, access frequency, and whether different departments need separate units.

Do organisers meet UK insurance expectations?

It depends on security rating and use-case. Insurance-approved products often start at ≈2 mm steel with robust locking and correct fixings. High-value items (e.g., vehicles £50k+) may require products meeting LPS 1175 or similar. Always confirm with your insurer.

How long does installation take?

Typically 30 minutes to 2 hours. Wall-mounted organisers up to ~100 hooks take ~30–45 minutes including marking, drilling, and fixing. Larger floor-standing or electronic units may take 1–2 hours. Professional install is recommended for heavy products, insurer-rated jobs, or electrical integration.

What maintenance is required?

Every 3–6 months: lubricate locks/hinges (graphite), check fixings, clean hooks, test electronic parts. Annually: inspect for wear/tamper, replace batteries, update codes, review organisation. Keep interiors dry; maintain an audit log. Quality units often last 10–15 years.

Can systems integrate with access control?

Yes. Modern electronic storage integrates via RFID/prox cards or biometrics. Advanced platforms (e.g., Traka, KeyWatcher) connect over IP for central control, monitoring, and audit. Enables return alerts, time-restricted access, and HR database sync. Professional install required; typical cost £2,000–£10,000.

What are typical UK lead times?

Stock organisers are usually 5-day delivery to UK mainland; some offer next-day if ordered before 2 pm. Bespoke or high-security products may take 2–3 weeks. Express delivery (1–2 days) is often available at extra cost. Installation is typically arranged within 5–10 working days.

Are there outdoor options?

Standard organisers are for indoor use. For outdoors, choose weather-resistant products (IP65+), stainless/galvanised construction, seals, and drainage. Expect ~30–50% higher cost. Alternatively, site them in covered areas or use a protective housing; marine-grade stainless is best for harsh environments.
