Safes are tested for anti-burglary protection at selected cash ratings and when passed, awarded the relevant grade/rating.
During the certification process door panels, bolt work, locks and handles are attacked using a selection of tools. The tools and the time each tool is used to attack the safe varies according to the certification grade.
Choosing a safe with a test certificate from a recognised testing authority ensures you’re getting the best security protection available.
