"Crothers can supply and code an immobiliser key for a lot less than the main dealer. It would be handy to have in case you lost your key! Give them a call 01 456 7947. I got keys cut & coded with them years ago. I don't know if they can do keys for all makes and models."

"Got a key cut and coded by Crothers over in Walkinstown yesterday for a Volvo V40 - Cost me 55 all in. Another lad got a key and code job done for 40.... Good service though - Done while I waited without any fuss."

"I wish to recommend Steven Crothers and his organisation to you for their workmanship like qualities and their professionalism in dealing with difficult situations.

At approximately 2.00am on Tuesday 21st November my office was broken into and was lucky enough to be able to disturb those intent on creating mayhem. Firstly Irangthe Gardai and then I rang the Crothers emergency line.

Where as it took the Gardai over half an hour to get here, Brian from Crothers was here with his equipment in approximately the same time and had the premises secure about an hour and a half later.

Their attention to detail, and the efficiency with which this was carried out is to be highly commended." John Sugars & Partners

Guide to Purchasing Home Safes

When Choosing your Home Safes you should consider the following:

The Location

Generally we recommend the location of the safe to be somewhere discreet but with ease of access; the safe should be used regularly, so it needs to be somewhere convenient. The bedroom, in a wardrobe, fixed to a solid wall is ideal.

The Size

It needs to be big enough to take the items you want to put away, but small enough to fit somewhere convenient. Consider the use you intend to put it to. E.g. if you have jewellery in protective boxes, will the boxes fit, do you intend to put your laptop in there?

The Level and Type of Protection

This relates to two issues: Security and Fire.

The level of security in a safe is usually graded by it’s “Cash Rating”. Basically this means that if, for instance your insurance policy covers you for €5000 cash, then, generally your insurance company will expect that to be kept in a safe that is rated for that amount.

In the case of jewellery or valuables the rule of thumb is usually 10 times the cash rating, e.g. €5,000 cash rating would be € 50,000 in valuables.

It may be an idea to talk to your insurance company about any requirements they might have before you purchase.

Fire Protection is usually graded at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes or 120 minutes and is differentiated between paper and computer media.

Anything above 30 minutes is independently tested and certified.

For a detail guide to Cash Ratings and Fire Protection please see our “CASH RATINGS AND FIRE CERTIFICATION EXPLAINED LINK” or contact us at enquiries@crothers.ie phone 01 4567947 or visit one of our security superstores.

The Type of Locking

You have two basic Options Key locking or Electronic Digital key Pad. The choice is very much a personal one, and both are equally secure and reliable (assuming you are buying a quality product from a reputable security provider!)

For further details on any of the above or for answers to any questions you may have please contact us at enquiries@crothers.ie, phone 01 4567947 or visit one of our security superstores.
