Frequently Asked Questions

Our facility has been built to higher than industry standards and our Vault located in the basement is Graded as a Grade X CD EX. Grade X (ten) is the highest certified Vault room, so far as we know, that is used for private safe deposit lockers.

The classification of CD means that the vault room and doors have been scientifically tested against all types of drilling equipment.

The classification of EX means that vault room and doors have been scientifically tested against all types of explosives.

The most significant difference of our facility is that we have designed and constructed our vault room (or strong room) within a strong room. This means our inner strong room is protected by the external strong room.

In addition, the office on the ground floor is fully ant-ballistic and access to the vault is only granted to registered users via biometric access controls including:

  • Facial recognition
  • Swipe ID Cards
  • Finger print recognition

This is protected by multiple alarm systems that are monitored 24 hours a day 365 days a year.

If you are concerned about the security of your valuables at home or in the workplace, you should consider renting a safe deposit box. According to the Central Statistics Office, Robberies have increased by 15.1% and a total of 3,999 burglaries have occurred nationwide in the three months to the end of 2018. The research shows domestic burglary is on the rise and the installation of home security provides only limited protection, since owners can be forced to open safes under threat of physical violence. In addition, your home contents insurance costs should be reduced by the use of a safe deposit box.

Each box requires both keys to gain access, neither Bevault Storage & Asset Protection or the customer can open the box alone.

No items may be removed until such time as a relevant grant of probate has been shown.
