Optional Extras
One of the key advantages of choosing a Dudley Safe is that it is designed and manufactured in the UK. Unlike many imported safes that are only available in standard specifications, Dudley can manufacture your safe to suit your individual requirements, offering a range of bespoke options without the lengthy lead times often associated with custom-made products.
Available optional extras include:
Choice of Deposit Facilities – Ideal for retail, hospitality, schools, offices and other commercial premises where cash or valuables need to be deposited securely without opening the main safe.
Custom RAL Colour Finish – Have your safe professionally finished in almost any RAL colour to complement your home or business interior. Please contact us for a quotation. info@lichfieldsafecentre.co.uk
Additional Fixing or Cable Holes – Safes can be manufactured with extra fixing holes or cable access holes to suit specific installation requirements.
Upgraded Locking Options – Choose from a range of high-security locking upgrades, including duress alarm locks, which can be connected to your home or commercial intruder alarm system.
Left-Hand Hinged Door – The safe door can be manufactured with a left-hand hinge where required, providing greater flexibility for your chosen installation location.
If you have a specific requirement that isn't listed above, please contact our experienced team. As an authorised Dudley Safe retailer, we can advise on the available customisation options and obtain a bespoke quotation from the manufacturer.

Is the Dudley Europa Grade 2 the right safe for me?
The Dudley Europa Grade 2 range is an excellent choice for homeowners, businesses and commercial premises looking to protect jewellery, watches, cash, important documents and other valuable possessions.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, the Dudley Europa Grade 2 Safe is independently tested and certified to the EN1143-1 Grade 2 burglary standard and also provides 45 minutes of certified fire protection for paper documents, making it ideal for customers looking for both burglary and fire protection in one safe.
It is recognised by UK insurers for up to £17,500 cash or £175,000 valuables (subject to your insurer's terms and conditions).
If you're unsure whether a Grade 2 safe is suitable for your requirements, our experienced team will be happy to recommend the correct insurance grade for your valuables.

What does a £17,500 cash rating mean?

£175,000 Valuables
Insurance requirements vary between providers, so if you're protecting jewellery, watches, bullion or other high-value possessions, we're always happy to advise on the most suitable insurance grade before you purchase.
Why choose a Grade 2 safe instead of a Grade 1 safe?
A Eurograde 2 Safe provides a higher level of certified burglary protection than a Eurograde 1 Safe and has been independently tested to the EN1143-1 Grade 2 European security standard.
Many customers choose to upgrade from a Grade 1 safe to a Grade 2 safe for the increased insurance recognition, making it suitable for protecting higher-value possessions.
A Grade 2 safe is often chosen for:
Higher-value jewellery
Luxury watch collections
Business cash
Important legal documents

If your insurance requirements exceed those of a Grade 1 safe, a Grade 2 safe offers additional protection and greater peace of mind.

Does it have to be bolted down?
