Please refer to our Terms & Conditions (Clause 9) which provide details of what may not be stored in our safe deposit box.

You may nominate a maximum of 3 (three) people as Nominees who must be aged 18 years or over and who may operate the Locker in accordance with our Terms & Conditions, paragraph 16.

No one other than the principle client and the nominees can access the safe deposit box. Even if someone found the keys and the ID card, they would still fail the facial recognition and biometric fingerprint scan. Refer to our Terms & Conditions, paragraph 11 and 16 for more information.

We have private, secure and lockable viewing facilities for you to access the contents of your safe deposit box in your own time.

We shall contact you by email or letter; approximately one month before your contract expires, inviting you to renew your contract. If you do not wish to renew, both your keys and all ID cards must be returned to us in person. You will also need to sign a declaration that you have cleared your contents from the Locker.

If you wish to renew but are late in making the payments, your account will be blocked and access suspended one day after expiry of the contract current at such time, as the contract is renewed and payment of the fees.

If you fail to renew your account, we will, after due notice, follow the procedure as set out in our Terms and Conditions.

Our opening times are Monday to Saturday: from 10:00 to 17:45. Last access to the vault area will be at 17:30. We are closed on Sundays and Bank holidays.

You can access the Locker for free during our operating hours.

Each box comes with £10,000.00 insurance cover as standard. The box can be further insured by our partners Ellerton Knight who are independent specialists. Alternatively, you may use another insurance specialist of your choice.

You can make a payment by the following methods:

Bank Transfer – quoting your safe deposit box or reference number (if known)

Credit/debit Card or cash – on site, at the time of collecting your keys or when accessing your safe deposit box

For long term contracts, by quarterly instalments by standing order.

If you lose one or both keys, please telephone us immediately upon discovery of the loss so that access to your Locker, can be stopped immediately. You will be provided with a reference number for this notification to us. A written notification must follow, with this reference number quoted. You will need to make an appointment with us in order that you can be present when a locksmith attends to either drill open your box (in case of loss of both keys) or replaces the lock if you still have one key. You will be responsible for the cost of the replacement lock and keys. Replacement for any lost ID card(s) would also be payable as per our price list. Please ensure that you bring with you, your original photo ID document for verification before any works are permitted.
