£17,500 Cash / £175,000 Valuables | Concealed Underfloor Safe | Waterproof Lid The Burton Oculto Underfloor Safe provides discreet, concealed protection for cash, jewellery and other valuable possessions, with a manufacturer recommended £17,500 cash / £175,000 valuables rating. Designed to be installed below floor level and encased in concrete, the Oculto can be completely concealed beneath flooring, furniture or a rug, providing an additional layer of security by keeping the safe hidden from view. A substantial 40mm stainless steel door, reinforced neck and unique waterproof lid combine to provide a robust underfloor storage solution for valuable possessions. Available with a choice of High-Security Key or Mechanical Combination locking. £17,500 Cash / £175,000 Valuables Rating Burton recommends the Oculto for contents up to: £17,500 Cash or £175,000 Jewellery / Valuables This makes the Oculto particularly attractive for discreetly protecting higher-value possessions including: Jewellery Luxury watches Cash Important documents Collectables Other compact high-value possessions The cash and valuables figures are manufacturer recommended ratings rather than an independent EN 1143-1 or EN 14450 burglary grade. Customers requiring insurance cover should therefore confirm acceptance and installation requirements with their insurer before purchase. Concealed Underfloor Installation One of the Oculto's greatest security advantages is its location. Rather than standing visibly within a room or cupboard, the safe is designed to be installed below floor level within concrete. Once correctly installed, only the access lid needs to remain accessible, allowing the safe itself to be concealed beneath suitable flooring, furniture or a rug. This provides a discreet security solution where customers prefer their safe to remain out of sight. Waterproof Protective Lid A particularly useful feature of the Oculto is its waterproof sealed lid. The lid helps protect the safe's contents and locking mechanism against water entering from above – an important consideration for a safe installed at floor level. It also provides a discreet cover over the main security door when the safe is not in use. Substantial 40mm Stainless Steel Door Beneath the protective lid is a substantial 40mm thick stainless steel safe door. The door has a diameter of approximately 160mm and incorporates a heavy-duty single locking bolt. This compact round-door design reduces the exposed attack area while still providing practical access to the secure compartment beneath. Reinforced Anti-Drill Neck The Oculto incorporates a 10mm thick steel neck, reinforced with wire mesh. This is designed to provide additional resistance against drilling attacks around the neck and door area – particularly important because these are the accessible parts of an underfloor safe once it has been encased within concrete. The main safe body is manufactured from 2.5mm thick steel and gains substantial additional protection from the surrounding concrete once correctly installed. Key or Mechanical Combination Lock SafeFort offers the Oculto with two locking options. High-Security Key Lock The key-locking version uses a 7-lever double-bitted key lock, with two keys supplied. The lock is independently tested to VdS Class 1 and EN 1300 Class A, providing a recognised high-security mechanical locking system. Mechanical Combination Lock For customers who prefer not to manage or conceal a physical safe key, the Oculto is also available with a high-security mechanical combination lock. This provides keyless access without batteries or electronic components and can be particularly attractive for an underfloor safe that may only be accessed occasionally. SafeFort Recommendation The Burton Oculto is an excellent choice for customers who value discretion as much as physical security. Once correctly installed beneath floor level, the safe can be concealed from view, providing a fundamentally different approach to security from a conventional freestanding safe. Its manufacturer recommended £17,500 cash / £175,000 valuables rating makes it particularly attractive for compact, high-value possessions such as jewellery, watches and cash, while the waterproof protective lid is a valuable feature for an underfloor installation. We particularly like the choice between Key and Mechanical Combination locking. Key locking provides straightforward access using an independently tested high-security lock, while the mechanical combination version eliminates the need to conceal a physical safe key and requires no batteries. Customers comparing Burton's two underfloor safes should note an important difference. The Burton Sotto is independently certified to EN 14450 S2 with a recommended £4,000 cash / £40,000 valuables rating and offers a useful adjustable installation depth. The Burton Oculto is not listed with the same S2 burglary certification but carries Burton's substantially higher recommended £17,500 cash / £175,000 valuables rating, together with its reinforced neck, 40mm stainless steel door and waterproof lid. Where insurance cover is an important part of the purchase decision, SafeFort recommends confirming with your insurer that the Oculto and proposed installation meet their individual requirements before ordering. For customers looking for a discreet, concealed and substantial underfloor solution for compact high-value possessions, the Burton Oculto is a particularly interesting alternative to a conventional visible safe. Cash and valuables ratings are manufacturer recommendations rather than guarantees of insurance cover. Burton does not currently list the Oculto with an EN 14450 or EN 1143-1 burglary certification. Individual insurers may specify different ratings, construction or installation requirements.
