Certification and Insurance Ratings

Euro Grade 1 safes are independently tested and approved according to EN 1143-1, with the following indicative insurance limits:

• Cash rating: up to £10,000
• Valuables rating: up to £100,000

Insurance acceptance may vary depending on country, risk profile, installation method, and insurer policy.

Construction and Security Design

Arcas Gruber Eurograde 1 safes are built using reinforced steel bodies with protected locking zones and controlled bolt engagement. Although positioned as entry-level certified safes, their construction is designed to resist opportunistic and mechanical attacks in accordance with EN 1143-1 testing requirements.

Each model includes reinforced door structures, protected hinges, and secure anchoring points to ensure effective resistance once installed.

Available Locking Systems

• High-security double-bit key locks (EN 1300 certified)
• Electronic combination locks (optional)
• Biometric locking systems (optional)
• Dual-lock configurations depending on model

All locking systems comply with European certification standards for secure access control.

Typical Applications

Eurograde 1 safes are suitable for environments requiring certified protection without the need for higher-grade resistance:

• Private homes and apartments
• Small offices and professional studios
• Retail premises with limited cash exposure
• Secure storage of documents, jewellery, and passports

For higher insurance limits or increased burglary resistance, you may also consider our Euro Grade 3 safes or Euro Grade 4 safes, which offer enhanced protection for professional, commercial, and higher-risk environments.

Installation and Compliance

To maintain certification validity and insurance acceptance, Eurograde 1 safes must be installed according to manufacturer specifications and securely anchored to solid structural elements. Improper installation may reduce effective resistance and compromise coverage.
