Welcome to the Church Register Safe Website
We've arranged for the production of a safe specifically for churches and other bodies who carry out marriage ceremonies. Many churches still leave the safe storage of highly sensitive documents such as marriage registers in old safes which, when originally made, were strong & fire proof, but are unfortunately now well past their sell by date and definitely don't do what it says on the tin!
Back in the 1800's these safes were manufactured in their thousands and many are still in daily use today. As a burglar deterrent they have their uses. Their weight makes them difficult for would be thieves to pick up and carry away. Being made of steel makes them difficult to open for those who aren't in the know.
However, they have their problems - and they are big problems too. Being made (in many cases) over 100 years ago, these safes are not up to the job when faced with tools such as cordless angle grinders available today. If the safe has been kept in a hot or damp environment at any time in its past, then it could have become unsound - especially at the bottom.
