Product Details
Details
The Yale Certified Safe Home is designed to protect cash and valuables such as jewellery from theft and has a recommended insurance rating of £2,000 cash or £20,000 valuables with a Silver award in the Sold Secure Accreditation** scheme. This home safe is secured by an electronic combination lock including a blue LCD which is powered by 4 x AA batteries (included). For additional peace of mind it is possible to override the electronic lock by a 6 lever high security double bitted key lock (supplied with two keys). The key hole is cleverly concealed behind the Yale Badge.

When the safe door is opened extra bright internal LED lighting reveals a fully felt lined interior and one removable shelf. This safe is also ready prepared for floor or wall fixing via pre-drilled holes in both the back and base of the safe. Fixing bolts are included. This model is also available in 3 larger sizes.

** Sold Secure Accreditation is a certification scheme, based on attack testing, set up by the Police with the help of the Home Office. It is administered by the Master Locksmiths Association, which works closely with Police and insurance companies.

Perfect size its not to big and not to small like some ive seen else where, very smart and modern looking, seems a shame to hide it away, the keypad works well and theirs an added bonus of the interior light when you open the door,also which is ideal is the backup key incase the battery goes flat on the keypad or you get locked out through inputting the wrong secret number which i havent done yet the key hole is also hidden behind a very smart YALE badge which swivels round adding to the security, The raw bolt that came with the safe were fine you also get the choice of fixing through the back of the safe into a wall or through the bottom into the floor.as for the safe shop it was the best price i found and the delivery was super fast i had no problems atall.

Only problem which isnt realy but i cant think of anything else is the interior light could stay on a bit longer i think you get 30 seconds then you have to push the key button on the front And the light comes back on i suppose its a battery saving thing

Good product. Full instructions were not included, we had to go online to find out how to set security code.There was a diagram in the box which was next to useless, but it didn't even suggest on there that the full instructions were available on line. We looked in desperation when we couldn't work out how to do it.

This is a good lightweigth safe providing a secure place to keep valuables. I was worried about someone stealing jewellery and documnents, this safe provides reassurance that petty thiefs cannot just take thing from household draws etc. It is very simple to use and provides a function to set and change codes and also has a manual override key that can be kept off site. I am very please. A bit light, but if bolted down it would be very difficult to remove.

An excellent safe,small enough to be discreet and able to hide away but still with a large capacity to store valuables like; passports,wills,bank details e.t.c.

I particularly like the light to illuminate the inside, very handy if the safe is hidden away and also the combination of keypad and key is very handy.

I would also recommend The Safe Shop for excellent prices and service.

Substantial, solid-feeling safe. Attractive design. Wide-opening door. Nicely lined with felt, removable shelf and interior lighting by LEDs. Complete with four expansion bolts for installation. Right-hinged only. Keypad could be a bit fiddly for some. Door was a tiny bit wobbly when closed - fixed with a small pad of velcro.

Had to buy a new safe as the keypad on my old safe failed. Having looked up my old safe on YouTube I also discovered it could be “cracked” by hitting it to make the locking solenoid jump downwards whilst exerting pressure on the handle. A 13 year old demonstrated that he could do it in about five seconds. Time to upgrade!

The Yale certified safe has an electronic keyboard that operates a motor that moves two solid bolts back and forth as the locking mechanism. No solenoid. There is a key override in case anything goes wrong with the electronics or the internal battery runs down, although you do get a low battery warning in plenty of time to replace them (four AA batteries). Make sure that the key is not kept inside the safe or anywhere obvious for a thief to find it (such as on the key rack by the front door). The key is double bitted (that means it has two parts to it, above and below the central key handle), which makes it harder to get copied and the lock harder to pick. The electronic combination is easily alterable to your own desired number. Don’t use 1234 or your birthday or your telephone number.

Fitting is easy for anyone used to DIY. It can be bolted to a wooden surface but I put the safe on a shelf and bolted it to a brick wall. Four expanding bolts come with the safe. Use a masonry drill to drill into a wall, assemble the bolts through the holes in the back of the safe, insert the bolts into the wall holes and tighten the bolts. In my case the holes from the old safe were in the right place and I reused those.

Please note that this safe is NOT fireproof. Yale say it is designed to protect cash to the value of 2,000 & valuables of 20,000 so be aware that it is not for keeping the Attenbury emeralds in, more day to day stuff like cheque books, credit cards, car keys, etc.

I find it quick and easy to use, easy to install and I think that it is good value for the price.

Exactly what we wanted, good build and easy to set-up and use. LED light is useful when hunting around for loose stuff. The only negative I can mention is that, while the safe can easily store A4 folders lying flat on the self, the door is smaller than A4 making it difficult to get A4 papers and folder in and out of the safe.

Our safe was delivered quickly and efficiently. It was much heavier than I expected! The quality is good and I found it easy to programme and set my combination code. I’ve used it multiple times since purchase and have had no problems with it. An additional feature which I liked is that it comes with a light inside the safe - this is great for trying to find things! It’s also a good size and have managed to fit all of the documents I need to store safely. If you are looking for a reasonable priced safe this model would be perfect for you.

Well made and easy to install. Came with all parts to fit with good instructions. Reasonable storage in the model I purchased which just about fits everything I wanted in. Simple to use and comes with a master key in case the batteries go flat.

The internal light is a major benefit when looking for items as the inside of the safe is black. Might be better if the inside was say a lighter grey.

Overall I am very impressed either the service I received and the quality of the unit.

I fitted the safe and it was not a complicated fit

The product is easy to fit and easy to use, the build quality is solid especially for a smaller safe. Having said smaller there is still plenty of room for the likes of documents, cash and smaller valuables like jewellery, cameras, tablets etc. The nicely finished interior, done in a soft carpet like material makes it friendly against any items that could be scratched easily and a removable shelf if the safe is needed as one whole storage space. If being used in a poorly lit place the Yale safe comes with an interior light built into the door which can be turned on at will. Overall a great product.

What happens if the batteries run out of power. Would that mean that the pin number you have used would not work and you would not be able to gain access?
Bob, London
If the batteries run flat the PIN number is retained in the memory but the keypad will not work. You should open the safe using the override key so that you can insert new batteries on the inside of the safe door. Once the batteries are fitted you can use the safe with the PIN you originally set up.

I have purchased a Yale Certified Safe from you, can you advise if it is OK to bolt freestanding on a wall using bolts supplied, or does it need to be supported?
Anonymous
If installing to a wall we would recommend that the safe be supported by a shelf or plinth to distribute the weight of the unit. Should the weight be focused entirely on the fixing bolts they may eventually fail and cause damage to the wall itself.

Before I buy this product I'm wondering if I can fit it inside my bedroom cabinet? I'd fix it to the base of the cabinet which is of wood construction and sits on floorboards. There is no void between the cabinet and the floor boards. Will the bolts suffice? Also will they lock in place? I could also fix on to the back wall at the same time but I believe the back is of plaster board than a void before it goes into breeze block. Is this possible?
Anonymous
Ideally the Yale certified range needs to be installed into either solid concrete/brick or wooden support joists to allow the 4x 70mm fixing bolts to be fully secured. I would not advise bolting the unit into plaster or breeze block as this could cause damage to the walls.

The cash and valuables rating: are these still applicable if the safe is installed by myself? Presumably these ratings are what my home insurance provider will uphold for that particular safe?
Anonymous
The security ratings on this safe would still be applicable if you were to install this yourself, providing the safe is installed as per the manufacturer instructions. The cash and valuables rating is an indication of what an insurance company would cover in the event the safe was broken into or stolen.

Can this item or any item in the series be fixed inside a closet, fixed to the floor of the closet which is wood? I think this provides extra security and no need to cut carpet etc. Can you also please tell me the length of the bolts needed.
Avis, London
The Yale certified range are designed to be installed ideally into a solid concrete floor or brick wall. Fixing to wood is generally not recommended, especially if the wood is relatively thin. However, if you have no other alternative it is certainly better than no fixing fixing at all. If you fix to the floor of the closet I would advise trying to secure through the closet and into the floor joist. The length of the bolts supplied are 60mm, but they are not designed for timber so would need to be replaced with heavy duty timber screws.

I would like to wall fix my safe and I would like to understand if your shop can do it for me? If not, who should I ask?
matteo, london
This safe does not have the option for a delivery and install service. The safe is supplied with the fixings and there are pre-drilled holes in the base and back of the unit so you could install this yourself, alternatively an engineer or local tradesman should be able to carry out the installation for you. We do have safes of this level that do offer an installation service such as the Chubbsafes Water 30E should you wish to consider this.
