Feels very secure. After you open the safe the locking bolt doesn't stay retracted in the door casing so when you close the safe you have to use the key to keep the locking bolts from fouling the door frame

A handy sized safe for home use.

Fitting would have been simple with the supplied bolts if you have a suitable sized drill and a solid floor.

With no solid floor it is also possible to install by bolting through floor boards into a solid plate (not supplied) if you have access to the underside of the boards.

The safe itself is discrete in size and colour. Includes a shelf to keep things tidy inside when storing small items. The painted interior is quite bare and benefits from lining with a couple of squares of material (not supplied) to avoid scratches.

Handy size for documents.

First safe arrived with scratches and dent on the exterior after being dropped in transit by the courier (no fault of the Safe Shop). Replaced by the Safe Shop with no question. Fast turn around and pleasant customer service.

Really pleased with the Phoenix Fortress Safe. Ideal size for our requirements and good value . We paid to have the safe installed and from start to finish everything went well. I was informed when the safe would be delivered and I really impressed with the first class customer service. I would certainly recommend this size safe.

We were looking for a compact, sturdy and secure safe in addition to it having good reviews. We reviewed several online sites and companies and selected the Safe company as it met our requirements. There were no issues with delivery it was as stated and the packaging was robust for the weight of the safe. Instructions for fitting were straight forward. Happy to recommend the Phoenix Fortress safe.

A safe became a requirement of our house insurance and Safe were very helpful in the decision to purchase this safe. It was easy to install and suits our needs perfectly. When I ordered on line it was temporarily out of stock but as soon as new stock arrived I was called immediately and delivery was arranged for the next day. The after sales service when I needed advice and information has also been excellent.

My safe arrived quickly after ordering. The build feels solid; I'd shopped around on the internet before selecting this one and some seemed quite flimsy for the job they're expected to do. Very easy to use, and I can rest easy knowing my valuables are stored safely. My only regret is not buying the slightly larger one as I'd not considered storing A4 documents when ordering. Maybe next time!

The phoenix ss1181k safe is well built and heavy double walled safe and would recommend buying. There's only 2 securing holes within the safe one on the back wall and the other through the floor, I would have preferred 2 holes within these areas for stronger fixings to wall and floor. Other than that happy with my purchase 👍👍👍

Needed a safe which met my insurers requirements. The Phoenix is ideal and safe.co.uk offered it at the best price and with very fast delivery. Safe is well built and had a variety of fixing options - wall and floor. Door can be removed to simplify fixing. Very please and would recommend.

    Is there any reason why this safe couldn't be mounted on its back to use the bottom fixing bolts into a wall?

    The safe may work fine in this position, however the locks are balanced. We would always advise the safes be positioned as displayed in the image.

    Standard Safe <25kg Installation

    We offer professional installation on our complete range of lightweight safes under 25kgs.

    Our experienced engineer will complete a brief site inspection and then discuss their findings with you to agree positioning of your safe.

    Your installation will include bolting the safe to the floor or wall using the anchor bolts included with your safe. Anchor bolts are designed for use with a solid surface such as brick or concrete. We cannot install your safe to floorboards or a stud plasterboard wall.

    If you are choosing a wall installation you must ensure the skirting board has been removed prior to installation.

    The position of your safe will be governed by safe site access, and other obstructions such as submerged pipes/cables or under floor heating.

    The engineer will carry out a final assessment to ensure the safe is secure.

    Non-standard Installation

    In some cases, it may be necessary to install additional materials or provide extra resources (manpower) to facilitate an installation in a safe manner.

    If additional costs are likely these will be discussed with you prior to installation. Reasons for extra costs might include:

    • Specialised access equipment and permits such as hoists, lifts and cranes.
    • Outside of normal hours working (Mon-Fri, 9am to 5pm).
    • 4x4 Vehicular access requirements to remote rural sites.
    • Road closure including necessary permits.
    • Additional manpower to overcome technical, lifting or safety access issues.

    We offer installation throughout the UK mainland, however some more remote and rural post codes in the Highlands are subject to a surcharge to cover additional fuel and traveling time costs.

    The following areas will incur a rural travel surcharge:

    £55.00 Surcharge Areas

    • PH 1 - 26 (No coverage in other PH postcodes)
    • PA 1 - 19 (No coverage in other PA postcodes)
    • KA 19, 26
    • ML 11, 12

    £105.00 Surcharge Areas

    • IV 01-17, 30,31,32 (No coverage in other IV postcodes)
    • AB
    • DD
    • TD
    • DG
    • KW

    These additional elements are deemed to fall outside the definition of a 'Standard Installation'. If you feel your installation might be non-standard please contact us to discuss your individual requirements.

    If applicable, additional costs are to be paid before installation begins.

    Warranty Terms & Conditions

    Our installer provides a standard 12 month warranty on all new installations and a 3 month warranty on all materials provided during maintenance visits.

    Note: Existing system components and pre-supplied equipment are not included in the installation warranty as these elements are covered by the Manufacturer warranty.

    We reserve the right to undertake an ‘Assessment Call’ without prejudice to investigate any complaints relating to materials failure or poor workmanship to assess if the complaint is valid. Please note that remedial service calls generated by elements outside of our sphere of influence or due to different fault conditions will be chargeable to you at an agreed call out charge.

    In scenarios where you request a post installation service call and our assessment identifies the fault condition or cause of the fault falls outside of the limitations of the standard installation warranty (Force Majeure, different fault etc) a call out charge will be incurred for the visit.

    Assessment calls raised for reasons outside our sphere of influence or responsibility and not covered by the standard installation will incur a call out charge for labour and additional materials.

    The following are examples of when a call out charge would be incurred:

    • Accidental Damage
    • Malicious Damage
    • Materials or Manufacturer Failure
    • System Modification
    • Incorrect User Diagnosis
    • Broadband Related
    • App Related
    • User Error
