Custom Safes: Design Your Own Security Solution

21st July 2025

No two security needs are the same—and neither should your safe be. Whether you’re safeguarding sensitive business documents, high-value assets, or sentimental heirlooms, an off-the-shelf model may not provide the best fit. That’s where our custom security safes come in.

At Associated Security, we specialise in designing and manufacturing safes tailored to your exact requirements. Our bespoke solutions offer a level of protection, style, and function unmatched by standard models.

Why Choose a Bespoke Safe?

A bespoke safe is the perfect solution when standard models don’t align with your needs. Whether it’s due to space constraints, aesthetic preferences, or enhanced security requirements, a custom-designed safe offers flexibility without compromising on protection. If you’ve ever considered a cheaper option, it’s worth understanding why quality matters—especially when protecting irreplaceable or high-value items.

Our bespoke safes are ideal for both residential and commercial environments. Whether you need a discreet installation or a feature piece to complement your luxury interior, we work with you to create the right solution.

Built to Certified Standards, Tailored for You

Every tailored safe is manufactured in our UK-based facility by skilled engineers. From concept through to delivery, you’ll work with a dedicated project manager who oversees every step. Our safes are designed to meet AIS approval and LPCB certification to European standards such as EN 1143-1, where applicable.

⚠️ It’s important to note: While internal fitments and finishes can be fully bespoke, external dimensions and core structure must fall within pre-tested parameters to retain EN 1143-1 graded certification. Any major change to the safe’s structure or size would require re-testing to remain compliant. Our team ensures that your safe meets your unique requirements without compromising certification or insurance validity.

We don’t just build safes—we build lasting protection.

Certified Security Grading

Our safes can be built to meet a wide range of security grades—from Grade 0 through Grade 7—each providing increasing levels of cash and valuables cover. All graded safes are tested and certified by the LPCB and manufactured under ISO 9001 accreditation to ensure the highest quality.

Need help choosing a grade? Our team will guide you based on the contents you intend to store—both now and in the future.

Fully Customisable Design

With our tailored safes, you have control over key design elements:

    • Internal Layout – Add shelving, compartments, or drawers to suit your storage needs.
    • Locking Mechanisms – Choose from key locks, electronic PIN, biometric access, or dual-locking systems.
    • Finishes – Select from a range of colours, textures, and finishes to match your décor.
    • Additional Features – Integrate internal lighting, humidity control, or fire protection for complete peace of mind.

We also provide luxury options for private clients, offering unique finishes and enhanced locking systems to suit even the most refined spaces.

Advanced Locking & Alarm Integration

Security is personal, and our solutions reflect that. Your bespoke safe can be equipped with high-security locking systems such as:

    • Biometric fingerprint access
    • Electronic keypads
    • Dual locking configurations
    • Audit trail-enabled locking systems

We can also integrate your safe with existing access control systems or alarm setups, providing real-time alerts and seamless functionality across your security infrastructure.

Meeting Unique Requirements

We understand that specific industries and clients often need solutions that go beyond the standard. That’s why we offer tailored safes for:

    • Unusual installation sites or access points
    • Furniture-integrated storage
    • Corporate or luxury residential settings
    • High-value or specialist items

If you’re also considering large-scale secure storage, you may want to explore the differences between modular and traditional vaults. We also offer tailored solutions in this area.

Our expert engineers, project managers, and customer support teams ensure that your vision becomes reality—without compromise on security.
