Through our century in business, Banham has put security first - from the world’s first automatic door bolt, invented by our founder William F. Banham in 1926, to the latest security innovations in 2026. Which is why, when it comes to protecting what matters most to you with a bespoke safe, Banham is the first name you think of - and the last word in peace of mind.
A safe is where we store our treasures. Sometimes literally - our luxury jewellery and watch safes can be tailored with linings in a selection of luxurious fabrics such as nappa leather and lustrous velvet, internal lighting options, and compartments, drawers and display elements to perfectly fit and showcase your collection. We consider every last detail, down to the bolt-work to match the keypad and handle finish. But there’s a custom safe for whatever you treasure, to reflect modern life and tastes: think large scale safes for handbag or shoe collections, sleek and compact safes for everyday document storage, safes for sentimental keepsakes. If you cherish it, we’ll go above and beyond to protect it.
The full-service process begins with a consultation via phone, video call or home visit, during which our dedicated team of safe experts will assess your needs and draw on a wealth of security knowledge to identify the best fit for you, and provide a tailored quote. We’ll also consider not just the current financial coverage required, but also potential growth in value in the years to come, futureproofing your choice to evolve with you. Next comes the design process, with endless options for customisation to your taste. From there, we will handcraft your bespoke safe, deliver and install it for you (with kerbside delivery also available if you prefer) and offer aftercare services.
Our freestanding safes are insurance graded 1-7 to match the value of your collection, up to £2.5 million for valuables and £250,000 for money safes, with bespoke solutions on offer for assets exceeding these values.
When it comes to protecting your collection, we offer a comprehensive range of advanced locking solutions, combining robust physical security with sophisticated access-control technology. Our locking options include high-security keys, digital 6-8 digit PIN codes and advanced biometric systems, including fingerprint recognition. Additional features such as time-delay and time-lock functions, together with comprehensive audit trails, provide enhanced control, monitoring and accountability.
Our collection includes freestanding, wall-mounted and floor-mounted safes, together with fire-resistant and police-approved models across our range. For complete peace of mind, selected safes are independently tested and certified by the European Certification Body for Security (ECBS) and approved by the Association of Insurance Surveyors (AiS). These certifications provide assurance that qualifying models meet rigorous standards for security, resistance and reliability, delivering dependable protection for your most valuable possessions.
Offering security at the highest level drives the inner workings of our safes - but design is by no means an afterthought. Every Banham safe is created in the legacy of British craftsmanship, using the finest materials and time-honoured techniques, and hand-finished to your precise specifications.
We know that looks matter, so function never comes at the cost of form. We can tailor the external design of your home safe to suit any room with exact colour matching to any shade, including heritage Farrow & Ball or Little Greene palettes, and a range of matte and gloss finishes. The custom design service allows us to tailor the aesthetic of your residential safe to suit the interior design of its setting, from elegant studies in period properties to modern minimalism.
Our expert team is on hand for every step of the design process, from supplying your tailored quote through to precision installation of our high end safes carried out by our thoroughly vetted and accredited team and aftercare services. We offer delivery, installation, and aftercare services across the UK. When working in your home or premises and handling your precious collections, discretion comes as standard - you’re in safe hands with Banham.
