If you require a really large capacity safe, but want it hidden from view then the Churchill Bulldog models are the ones to assess. There are 2 sizes – the CBS11 425mm (17”) in height from floor to bottom of safe and the even larger CBS12, which is 590mm (23”)in height  The Churchill Domestic Underfloor security safes are designed for installation underground in the home or in retail shops or petrol stations to protect cash and valuables from violent attack and burglary.

The Churchill Bulldog CBS12 Underfloor security safe has a high security VdS class 1 lock and is supplied with 2 double bitted security keys as standard and is locked with a high strength air pump assisted steel door for easy lift and operation.

As with all Underfloor safes the security depends principally on  two vital ingredients  - the strength of the lid and the concrete mix used to secure it underground. The cash rating of the safe is decided by the security and quality of the locking lid.
