When it comes to running a business, security ought to remain your top priority. Whether you’re storing cash, protecting confidential files, or storing expensive valuables, securing assets is fundamental to your operation.
The reality is, no business is immune to risk. Retail stores, legal offices, warehouses, clinics, and even schools face daily challenges in protecting what matters most. From petty theft to serious break-ins, the potential for loss is ever-present — and often underestimated. That’s where a professionally installed commercial safe comes into its own.
At Security Masters, we specialise in supplying and installing safes tailored to business use. Our products will meet your insurance and regulatory requirements, and our team of qualified Master Locksmiths takes care of every installation detail.
The Role of Safes in Business Security
Commercial properties and business premises are prime targets for theft — and not just from outsiders. Internal theft by employees or visitors is more common than many business owners realise. It’s not always malicious; sometimes it’s opportunistic. Either way, the consequences are always damaging.
A high-quality, insurance-approved safe offers far more than a lock and a steel door. It gives you a controlled, auditable way to manage risk. For many businesses, having a safe is also a must-have thanks to their insurance policies — particularly when storing cash, confidential documents or prescription medications.
Installing a proper safe helps you:
Protect daily takings or stock until banking
Restrict access to key documents
Comply with GDPR and other privacy regulation
Keep confidential data safe
Choosing the Right Safe
Choosing a safe needs careful thought; there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why Securty Masters prides itself on offering expert guidance to its customers. We don’t just sell you a safe, we assess your needs and provide the right solution.
For cash-heavy environments, deposit safes are ideal. They allow staff to drop in takings during the day without needing full access to other contents. If you’re storing sensitive legal or financial records, a fireproof safe is a smart choice — especially one with a certified fire rating for paper or media protection.
Eurograde safes are ideal if you’re working to meet insurance ratings. These models are independently tested and assigned cash and valuables ratings, ranging from £6,000 to £150,000.
Looking for speed, ease of use, and access logs? Consider digital or biometric safes with audit trail functionality. You’ll be able to track who accessed the safe, and when — which is ideal for multi-user environments.
Whatever your requirements, we’ll help you select a model that fits both your business and your budget.
Why Professional Installation Matters
You can buy the best-rated safe on the market — but if it’s not installed properly, it won’t perform when it matters most. In fact, many insurers specify that commercial safes must be installed by a qualified professional to validate your coverage.
We don’t just bolt safes to the floor or into the wall. At Security Masters, we assess the best position to guarantee security and discretion. We always assess the structural integrity of your preferred site to ensure we can anchor the unit correctly using approved fixings. We also work with landlords and facilities managers to make sure our work doesn’t interfere with fire exits, electrical layouts, access points, or other building features.
Maintenance and Servicing
Safes are built to last, but like any mechanical or electronic device, they benefit from regular maintenance. Locks can jam. Keypads can wear. Batteries can die at the worst time.
We recommend annual check-ups for any commercial safe — and sooner if it’s in constant use. Our safe servicing includes testing locks, inspecting bolts, cleaning mechanical parts, and resetting codes if needed. If a fault is spotted early, we can usually resolve it without replacing the whole unit.
Think of servicing your safe like servicing your vehicle: preventative maintenance keeps everything working as it should and avoids costly issues down the line.
Emergency Access and Repairs
Getting locked out of your business safe is stressful, especially if it’s holding cash you need to bank, contracts you need to sign, or documents you need to retrieve urgently. That’s why we offer a reliable emergency safe opening service.
Where possible, we use non-destructive methods — preserving your safe and its contents. We can reset digital keypads, replace broken locks, or access jammed mechanisms quickly and discreetly.
As Master Locksmiths, we’ve seen it all — from forgotten codes to broken keys inside the lock. Whatever the issue, we’ll get you back in with minimal downtime.
Moving or Replacing a Safe?
Upgrading your premises or moving to a new site? We can help you safely relocate your existing safe or supply and install a new one at your next location. Moving a commercial safe isn’t something you want to DIY — especially when dealing with large underfloor models or high-value contents
Our safe moving service is fully insured and carried out by trained professionals. We know how to handle heavy equipment without compromising security or damaging property.
Protect What Matters Most
Safes aren’t just for locking things up — they’re part of a wider business security culture. They help you comply with regulations, reassure staff and customers, and demonstrate that you take protection seriously.
