Rated to What They’re Actually Protecting
A safe sized for household documents isn’t a safe sized for a serious collection. ArtworkSecurity specifies and installs vaults and safes rated to AS/NZS 3809 — matched to the actual value of what’s inside, not a generic off-the-shelf box.
AS/NZS 3809 — The Australian Safe & Vault Standard
AS/NZS 3809 grades safes and strongrooms by burglary and fire resistance, from lighter-duty options through to genuine vault-grade security. We specify to this standard so what you install is properly matched to what it’s protecting — not a guess.
Our Vault & Safe Services Include:
- Rated Safe Specification & Supply: Safes matched to your collection’s value, specified to AS/NZS 3809.
- Strongroom & Vault Design: For larger collections, purpose-built vault spaces rather than a single safe.
- Correct Installation & Bolting: Safes properly secured to the structure, not just placed in a corner.
- Alarm Integration: The safe’s location covered by your alarm system, so an attack on the safe itself is detected.
- Access Logging: Electronic locking with a record of who opened the safe, and when.
A Formula Insurers Already Use
Chubb’s own fine-art insurance guidance recommends a safe cash rating of at least 10% of the value it protects, with the safe’s location covered by the alarm system — a real, published benchmark we design to, whichever insurer or broker you actually use.
Benefits of Properly Rated Storage
Sized to the Risk, Not the Room
An undersized or unrated safe can create a false sense of security — it looks secure, but isn’t rated to resist a genuine, determined attempt. We specify to the actual value at stake.
