SAFES
Seasonal Security
Burg-Wächter’ s Parcel Boxes and Safes are a Smart Opportunity for Locksmiths
» WITH THE FESTIVE SEASON FAST approaching, the annual surge in online shopping is already underway— and with it, a significant rise in home deliveries. According to recent retail figures, online purchases now account for a larger share of Christmas spending than ever before. That means more couriers, more doorstep drop-offs, and, unfortunately, more opportunity for parcel theft.
For locksmiths, this presents a timely opportunity. Customers are increasingly looking for ways to protect not only their homes but also their deliveries and festive valuables. Burg-Wächter, Germany’ s security specialist, offers products that are particularly relevant this season – robust Parcel Boxes to safeguard deliveries and high-quality Safes to protect valuables indoors. Together, they create a compelling sales opportunity for locksmiths looking to maximise their offering in the run up to Christmas.
Protecting against‘ Porch Piracy’
Matt Parkes, Marketing Manager at Burg- Wächter said,“ We’ re seeing an increase in the theft of unattended parcels from doorsteps – or‘ porch piracy’ across the UK, especially at this time of year when delivery volumes peak in November and December. Of course, many homeowners are looking for a robust solution to this issue in order to protect their important deliveries, many of which are Christmas presents for loved ones. Rather than leaving deliveries in plain sight or behind a bin, a parcel box, such as our PB03 BK model offers a secure receptacle where couriers can deposit parcels safely until the homeowner returns.”
Keeping deliveries safe
Keeping deliveries safe, secure and protected until they’ re ready to be collected, Burg-Wächter’ s generously sized wall-mounted Parcel Box PB03 BK is designed to hold multiple parcels safely and is accessed via a lockable door supplied with two keys. Crafted from durable weather-resistant materials, the Parcel Box ensures that deliveries are protected all year round, whilst installation is easy with fixings included. The secure deposit style‘ dropin hatch’ allows for quick, no-fuss, contact-free deliveries.
Safe protection inside the home
While parcel boxes secure what’ s left outside, safes remain the go-to solution for safeguarding valuables within the home. With high-value gifts, jewellery, cash and electronics all in circulation during the festive season, more customers are recognising the value of investing in a high-quality safe.
Matt said,“ From compact digital models ideal for small valuables to larger fire-resistant units for important documents, Burg-Wächter has a safe to suit your customer’ s individual needs. And, with safes offering a high profit margin, savvy locksmiths combining product supply with professional fitting can significantly boost profitability per job, especially when marketed as part of a broader‘ Christmas home protection’ package.”
High quality all-round protection from with Profi
Burg-Wächter’ s accredited, Pan European certified Profi range of safes delivers both performance and protection. Certified( EN 14450 S2) for £ 4,000 cash or £ 40,000 worth of valuables and coming with a 30-minute fire rating, Profi safes are available in two locking options:

• Version E- SecuTronic- an upgraded programmable electronic ECB. S certified( EN 1300 class A) combination lock offering 1,000,000 possible different PIN codes.
Featuring a double-walled construction and extra strong locking system making the safe extremely difficult to open by force, Profi safes are designed for an enhanced user experience with smooth opening mechanism plus interior LED lighting for added convenience and come with fixings to allow secure wall or floor anchoring.
A season for security – and sales
Matt concluded,“ The festive period has always been a time of heightened security awareness, and this year is no exception. With household budgets tight and gift spending high, homeowners want to ensure that nothing goes missing— whether it’ s a delivery on the doorstep or valuables inside the home.
“ For locksmiths, positioning Burg- Wächter’ s parcel box and safe ranges as part of a proactive seasonal offering is an opportunity to not only increase sales but also reinforce their own reputation as trusted local security experts.”
