» BURG-WÄCHTER , Europe ’ s largest manufacturer of safes and post boxes has updated its entire range of market-leading safes with redesigned modern locking mechanisms and improved security ratings .

Mark Pearson , Commercial Director at Burg-Wächter UK said : “ The COVID-19 lockdowns have seen most people spending time more at home . Demand for safes has risen as a result , as they remain the last line of defence against important documents and valuable possessions being stolen or damaged by fire . Whilst the demand for safes is as diverse as the range of potential customers ,

independently verified ratings remain an important purchasing criteria for most customers , with both AiS and Secured By Design being widely recognised as the leaders in their field . This , combined with the improved ergonomics , simplified choice of locking mechanism and market leading sales support means Burg-Wächter safes are easy to sell at a price that gives a good return .

Following customer feedback , the offering has been simplified to a choice of one key operated option and one redesigned electronic lock for each model range .

SecuTronic keypads are ECB-S rated and offer the

choice of up to 10 different 6-digit codes from a million possible combinations . Keypads with a fingerprint scanner allow up to 20 different fingerprints to be programmed , adding an additional layer of authentication . The EN 1300 class B rated fingerprint scanner also features “ Fake Fingerprint Detection ”.

Once the correct code / fingerprint has been entered the integrated handle engages , and with a simple twist the bolts retract , allowing the door to be opened with the

integrated grab recess . The whole panel has been angled upwards , making it more convenient to operate if the safe is either fixed to the floor or wall-mounted at a low height .

When installed correctly , all Burg-Wächter safes are AiS approved , which is widely recognised by both customers and insurance companies alike . Customer appeal is further enhanced as all safes rated at £ 4,000 cash and above are now Secured by Design ( Police ) approved .

» FROM HUMBLE BEGINNINGS in a small locksmith ’ s forge in Wetter-Volmarstein , Germany in 1920 , Burg-Wächter has grown over the past 100 years to become one of the world ’ s leading providers of innovative and trusted security solutions . As part of its centenary celebrations , Burg-Wächter UK is launching a new integrated all in one product catalogue . For the first time , retailers are able to see all the popular Burg-Wächter and Sterling ranges side by side in one convenient catalogue .

Matt Parkes , Marketing Manager said : “ Burg-Wächter UK is committed to helping retailers find the right security products for customers . The

new catalogue expedites and clarifies this process by reducing the overlap between the Burg-Wächter and Sterling ranges ; while reflecting the strong values and service levels that have established

both ranges as trusted and reliable names in the security products sector , making it an essential resource for retailers and stockists .”

Covering everything from padlocks , post boxes and door / window security to independently rated safes and smart security solutions , over 4,000 products have been organised into nine colourcoded sections enabling the right security solution to be found quickly and easily . The catalogue also features a new Locksmith Solutions section which outlines the comprehensive pinning and key-suite services for all Euro cylinders and selected padlocks , as well as the

many key-blanks and spares available for the company ’ s most popular locks and safes .

In addition to introducing over 50 new products and nearly 100 updated AIS approved safes , the 2021 catalogue highlights the sterling work Burg-Wächter UK has been doing to gain widely recognised and independent approvals for its products . As a result , more than 250 Secure By Design Police approved and nearly 40 Sold Secure rated products are included in the catalogue , along with over 125 BSi certified Euro Cylinders and an award winning video doorbell .
