Reconditioned & Refurbished Second Hand Safes

Looking to buy a second hand safe? The type that is high-grade, yet low-cost? Great – you’re in the perfect place. NLS Security Ltd is a leading UK stockist and has an extensive range of used safes for sale.


The benefits of second hand safes


Modern safes are built to last. They are manufactured to secure and withstand anything that’s thrown at them. But a reconditioned safe can be equally as effective at securing your possessions as one that rolled off the production line this morning. Reconditioned safes should be refurbished to BS 7582:2005 standard and are often heavier and better-made. If refurbished to the correct standard, a second hand safe will look just as good as new and last for a very long time.


The best thing about used safes for sale is that, although they are often heavier in construction, they carry a much smaller price tag than new safes. This means that you can purchase a high-quality unit for less. Ideal if you’re on a budget. All old safes are stripped back before being primed and repainted. The locks are then reconditioned and the safe door is checked and serviced internally to ensure it is protected should it come under attack. The bolts and hinges of second hand safes are lubricated to prolong operational use and to enable you to open and close the safe door with ease.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why do I need a safe?

    Safes are a great way to add extra security to your home or office. 


    In the unfortunate event of a home invasion, burglars want to get in and out quickly.

    The longer they’re in a home, the more chance they’ll be caught.


    So they’re more likely to search through drawers and cupboards for hidden valuables than they are to try and break into your safe. 


    It’s very unlikely the average burglar will be able to break into a safe. At least not quickly and without creating noise and attracting attention.


    This makes a second hand safe in your home or office the ideal place to securely store valuables, documents and items that carry sentimental value.


  • Why should I choose a refurbished safe?

    Safes are built to last. Whether your second hand safe is 5 or 10 years old, it will still be as durable as when it was first manufactured. 


    So if you’re after a premium safe at a lower price point, a refurbished second hand safe could be the perfect choice for you. 


    To be sure of their reliability, second hand safes are stripped back and reconditioned to as good a state as new, ensuring they meet security standards.


    Here at NLS Security, we supply refurbished safes from reputable manufacturers such as Dudley, SMP and Chubbsafes.  


    If you would like to find out more about the variety of reconditioned second hand safes we supply, get in touch with our friendly team by calling 0191 238 6000 or emailing info@nlssecurity.co.uk. 


  • How can a reconditioned safe be as secure as a brand new safe?

    Safes are robust. They’re designed to withstand even the toughest of abuse, keeping your items safe and secure in the process. 


    So, when it comes to buying your safe, a reconditioned one is just as effective as a brand new safe. 


    All second hand safes sold by us here at NLS Security have been refurbished to BS 7582:2005 standard and have been tested by expert locksmiths. This means they’re as secure as possible.


    We can also fit a new digital or combination lock to ensure only you have access to your new safe.

    This is highly recommended if you’ve bought your second hand safe from another person, and not a reputable seller. 


  • How do I choose my second hand safe?

    Start by considering your requirements. 


    • What do you want to keep in your safe?

    • Where will the safe go?

    • Do you want keypad entry or a physical key?

    • What is your budget?


    These are all decisions you’ll need to make when deciding on your safe.
