Choosing the Right Safe: Approved Safe Scheme

So you decide to buy a safe to secure your valuables but how do you know which one to get? The Association of Insurance Surveyors have introduced their AiS Approved Safe Scheme. The aim is to make buying a safe simpler for everyone: the insurance underwriter, the safe supplier and the customer.

When a European standard for rating and testing cash safes was brought in some years ago it was hoped this would make choosing a safe easier. Safes would be tested against a performance standard and a resistance grade awarded, from 0 to VI. Policy holders would then be advised to install a safe of a certain grade. However problems arose when it was claimed that not all test houses were applying the same standards thus obtaining an advantage over competitors.


With the AiS Approved Safe scheme, manufacturers and suppliers are invited to submit their test certificates to the AiS Scrutiny Panel. If the safe passes they can claim to be AiS Approved and be included on list of approved safes.

Police Approved Locksmith?

There are a number of “locksmiths” and rogue traders, who like to claim that they are "Police approved". Unfortunately there is no such approval given by the police authorities.  The police may offer some advice on the type of locks to use or criminal activity to look out for through Neighbourhood Watch schemes but they cannot officially "approve" any locksmith company.  A locksmith who undertakes work directly for police authorities normally gain the contract through a tender process.

One way to protect yourselves is to ask to see a locksmiths Criminal Records Bureau check. This document will prove that the individual in question does not have a criminal record. This does not guarantee their standard of work but provides some peace of mind.


Currently there are no official Locksmith qualifications in the UK. This means that technically, a locksmith can never claim to be "qualified" but after talking to a locksmith and asking some probing questions about time in the trade and the best approach to the job you should be able to make an informed decision.

A good reputation is the best way to judge a Locksmith and you should always look for professional and courteous treatment, coupled with a proven track record. Our reputation is important and happy customers mean repeat work and plenty of referrals for which PT Lock & Safe is always grateful for!
