SAFES

STYLISH AND FUNCTIONAL MODULAR SAFE INTERIORS FROM BURG-WACHTER

» THE BLACK EDITION LUXURY SAFE range from Burg-Wächter is designed for customers who want something more refined than a standard freestanding safe, without stepping into the cost and complexity of fully bespoke luxury storage. It neatly bridges the gap between everyday security and high-end design, offering a premium look and feel that remains practical and accessible, combining certified security with tailored functionality.
Modular interior to fit all interiors and budgets
Available in a range of sizes, the BLACK EDITION allows users to choose a safe that suits both their space and their lifestyle. Choose from a wide choice of interior options, including open shelves for quick access to everyday items, while a side compartment accommodates documents, tablets or laptops. Shelves are fully height adjustable, and drawers come in shallow or deep versions for everything from small valuables to bulkier possessions. For ease of installation, the entire carcass can be removed, making positioning and secure anchoring simple for locksmiths.
“ For watch collectors, the modular interior can be upgraded with two or four integrated Rapport London luxury watch winders. Combining German engineering with British craftsmanship, the winders are operated via a back-lit LCD touchscreen and offer variable rotations per day in either direction to suit all manufacturers’ specifications, keeping timepieces in perfect condition.
Combining style with security
Matt Parkes, Marketing Manager at Burg- Wächter said,“ Our BLACK EDITION safes give customers the ability to create a safe that works for them, rather than a one-sizefits-all solution. Whether it’ s organising everyday essentials, safeguarding documents or maintaining luxury watches, locksmiths can offer a tailored installation that combines security with style.”
Finished with a durable oak-effect veneer interior and classic black satin exterior, the BLACK EDITION range blends EN 1143-1 Grade 1 security with practical organisation. For locksmiths, the modular system is an ideal opportunity to upsell interior accessories, offer professional installation and provide a high-value, bespoke solution for clients— turning a safe into a fully personalised security system.

Kenrick enhances AK Safe Secure with new automatic self-locking feature

» KENRICK HAS FURTHER enhanced the functionality of its AK Safe Secure smart lock box with the introduction of a new automatic self-locking feature, designed to improve security, efficiency and peace of mind for facility managers.
The new auto-lock function ensures that AK Safe Secure automatically locks itself just three seconds after the door is closed, removing the need for manual locking and reducing the risk of human error on site or in busy property environments.
As access solutions continue to play a vital role in modern property management and construction workflows, reliability and ease of use are becoming just as important as physical strength and security. The autolock
feature has been developed to support contractors and property managers who require dependable access control across multiple locations and users.
Andy Meakin, Sales and Marketing Manager at Kenrick, said:“ The addition of automatic self-locking is a simple but highly effective enhancement to AK Safe Secure. It ensures the lock box is never accidentally left unsecured, even in fast-paced working environments.
For contractors and property managers, this means greater confidence that access points remain protected at all times.”
For contractors, the auto-lock feature helps streamline daily operations by removing an extra step from access management.
Whether working on new builds, refurbishments or maintenance projects, users can close the door knowing the lock box will secure itself automatically, helping to protect keys, fobs and access credentials on site.
Property managers also benefit from improved security and reduced risk across managed properties. With multiple users accessing buildings throughout the day, the automatic locking function helps ensure consistent security standards are maintained, supporting safer access control in residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.
The new feature complements AK Safe Secure’ s existing smart capabilities, including remote access management,
permissions control and real-time monitoring, further reinforcing its position as a practical and dependable smart access solution.
Built on Kenrick’ s longstanding reputation for strength and reliability, AK Safe Secure continues to combine design strength with intelligent technology, delivering a solution that meets the evolving needs of today’ s built environment.
