DRS Prisma Grade 6 Size 1

The DRS Prisma Grade 6 is a high-security Eurograde safe designed for customers who require an exceptionally high level of certified burglary protection.

Grade 5 vs Grade 6

Both Grade 5 and Grade 6 safes provide an extremely high level of certified burglary resistance.

However, Grade 6 is a higher EN 1143-1 security classification than Grade 5, making it appropriate where the value of the contents, insurance requirements or desired level of protection exceeds the requirements of a Grade 5 safe.

Why Choose Grade 6 Instead of Grade 5?

The most important difference is the certified security level.

A Grade 5 safe already provides substantial protection, but moving to Grade 6 provides a higher level of resistance against attempted burglary.

A Grade 6 safe can therefore be particularly appropriate where:

• The value of your jewellery or watch collection is substantial

• You hold significant quantities of gold, silver or other precious metals

• Your business stores high-value stock

• Your insurance company specifies a Grade 6 safe

• You have outgrown the protection offered by a Grade 5 safe

• You want additional security headroom for future increases in asset value

• You are protecting particularly valuable commercial or private collections

Grade 5 or Grade 6 – Which Should I Choose?

Grade 5 is an excellent choice where the certified security level and insurance rating meet your requirements.

Grade 6 is the better option where you require a higher level of certified burglary resistance or where your insurer specifically requires Grade 6.

For customers whose assets are approaching the limits of a Grade 5 safe, upgrading to Grade 6 can provide additional security headroom and help avoid replacing the safe later as the value of their collection or business assets increases.

If you are unsure which grade your insurer requires, we strongly recommend confirming this with your insurer before purchasing.

Our experienced team can then help you select the appropriate safe.

What Can You Store in a Grade 6 Safe?

The DRS Prisma Grade 6 is designed for the protection of high-value assets, including:

• Luxury watch collections

• High-value jewellery

• Gold bullion

• Silver bullion

• Investment coins

• Precious metals

• Family heirlooms

• Business cash

• Important legal documents

• Passports and identification documents

• Property deeds

• Confidential business records

• Digital backup drives

• High-value commercial stock

• Collectibles and other valuable assets

Who Typically Chooses a Grade 6 Safe?

A Grade 6 safe is particularly suited to:

• High-net-worth individuals

• Private collectors

• Luxury watch collectors

• Bullion investors

• Bullion dealers

• Jewellers

• Pawnbrokers

• Auction houses

• Luxury retailers

• Professional businesses

• Financial organisations

• Museums and collections

• Commercial organisations storing high-value assets

What Does the Insurance Rating Mean?

Insurance ratings indicate the level of protection a safe may be suitable for when assessed by an insurer.

However, the insurance value is not automatically guaranteed simply because a safe has a particular EN 1143-1 grade.

Your insurer may apply additional conditions relating to:

• The value of the contents

• Safe installation

• Alarm systems

• Premises security

• Location of the safe

• Type of valuables being stored

• The particular safe model and certification

For this reason, always confirm the required security grade and insurance value with your insurer before purchasing.

If you already have an insurance quotation, we can help you identify the appropriate safe specification.

Professional Installation Available Nationwide

A Grade 6 safe is a substantial piece of security equipment and professional installation is strongly recommended.

Our experienced installation team can advise on suitability for:

• Ground-floor installations

• Upper-floor installations

• Concrete floors

• Timber floors

• Offices

• Retail premises

• Commercial buildings

• Residential properties

We can assess the intended installation location, access routes and fixing requirements before delivery.

The safe can then be securely installed in accordance with the manufacturer's requirements and, where applicable, your insurer's requirements.

Can a Grade 6 Safe Be Installed Upstairs?

Potentially, yes.

However, Grade 6 safes are extremely heavy, and the feasibility of an upstairs installation depends on the specific model, its weight, access route and building construction.

Before ordering, we recommend discussing:

• Staircase access

• Doorway dimensions

• Floor construction

• Lifting requirements

• Safe weight

• Installation position

• Fixing requirements

with our installation team.

We can advise whether a particular Grade 6 model is suitable for your property and provide an installation quotation where required.

Does the Safe Need to Be Fixed Down?

Yes.

High-security safes should be securely anchored in accordance with the manufacturer's installation instructions and any requirements imposed by your insurer.

Professional installation is particularly recommended for Grade 6 safes because of their substantial weight and the importance of correct positioning and fixing.

If you are unsure whether your floor or wall construction is suitable, contact us before ordering.

Choosing the Right Size Grade 6 Safe

When selecting a Grade 6 safe, consider both your current requirements and the value of the assets you may wish to protect in the future.

We recommend considering:

• The total value of your assets

• The size and quantity of your valuables

• Jewellery and watch boxes

• Bullion and precious metals

• A4 documents and files

• Property deeds

• Business records

• Future additions to your collection

• Available installation space

• Access to the intended installation location

Choosing a larger safe now can be considerably more convenient than replacing a safe later because your collection or business requirements have grown.

The DRS Prisma Grade 6 is available in different sizes to accommodate a variety of residential and commercial requirements.

Grade 5 vs Grade 6 – A Simple Guide

Choose Grade 5 if:

• Your insurer is satisfied with Grade 5

• Your asset values are comfortably within the Grade 5 insurance requirement

• You require very high certified burglary protection

• You want a high-security safe without moving to the next security classification

Choose Grade 6 if:

• Your insurer specifically requires Grade 6

• You are protecting exceptionally valuable assets

• Your jewellery or watch collection has grown substantially

• You hold significant quantities of precious metals or bullion

• Your business stores particularly valuable stock

• You want a higher level of certified burglary resistance

• You want additional security headroom for future requirements

Why Upgrade From Grade 5 to Grade 6?

The difference isn't simply about the size or weight of the safe.

Grade 6 represents a higher certified level of burglary resistance under EN 1143-1.

For customers protecting very valuable assets, this additional security classification can provide greater confidence and may be necessary to satisfy particular insurance requirements.

If your assets are increasing in value or your insurance requirements have changed, moving from Grade 5 to Grade 6 can be a sensible long-term investment.
