Best Burg-Wächter safe

Updated: October 2026

The best Burg-Wächter safe in this amazon.co.uk set is not one model. Paper and a stated fire time point one way. A key cupboard that needs more than about 10 litres points another way. A code is a third choice, and only if the emergency key stays outside the door. Prices and locks sit on the [Burg-Wächter safe comparison](/hub/safes-and-secure-storage/burg-waechter-safe). The Products Compared editorial team wrote this on 16 October 2026 from the four listings and the maker pages. We did not fire-test or attack-test them. A qualifying purchase can earn us a commission at no extra cost to you.

Best in this set for paper and a stated fire time

For a will and a stated fire time, the top pick is the FP 22 K (B07RNGPQMR) at £42.00: 30 minutes up to 1,093°C, 5.6 litres, 9 kg, two keys. Burg-Wächter ties the claim to UL 72 and an internal temperature under 90°C. That sentence is not on the amazon.co.uk listing, and UL 72 is not EN 1047-1. Skip it if the insurer wants EN 14450 or EN 1143-1. The longer fork is on fireproof box or furniture safe.

Best in this set for a key cupboard box

The larger-cupboard pick is the S5 K (B00J95WLAE): 18.6 litres at £80.50, single-walled, key lock, title size 250 × 350 × 250 mm. The S3 K is 10.2 litres at £52.34. S5 is capacity, not EN 14450 S2, and the 4.4 from 654 line is the same text as the S3 K. Skip the S5 K for a PIN, a fire sentence, or a cupboard under about 250 mm. A passport-only cupboard is on home office safe.

When the electronic Favor is the pick

Choose the Favor S3 E (B00J95WM6C) at £57.99 when you want a code and will keep a working emergency key outside the safe. It is the best value for that job: a mechanical emergency lock, four AA batteries, 8.6 litres, and 4.3 from 832 reviews. One UK review says the emergency key is too thin for the flap. Another says the keys were locked inside. Skip it for a stated fire time or the S5’s 18.6 litres.

The listing to skip until the title matches the lock

Skip Favor S3 K (B00J95WMYE) until the title and the lock field agree. At £52.34 the bullets describe a double-bit lock and two keys. The title still says electronic. The 654 reviews are the shared dump with the S5 K, item weight is 4.39 kg against a bullet of 24.1 kg, and the warranty field says no guarantee. The question order is on the buying guide. Come back only if Lock Type still says Key.

Who should not use this shortlist

Do not use this shortlist if the insurer named EN 14450 or EN 1143-1, or if you store a firearm or a shotgun. None of the four prints those grades or BS 7558. Also step away if you cannot fix the box to masonry or a joist you trust. If the only wall is plasterboard, or the safe is already shut and the code has failed, stop. Do not force the lock.

Common questions

Which of these four is the pick for a will and a fire worry?
The FP 22 K, if you can accept 5.6 litres, a key, and Not Water Resistant. It is the only listing that states a fire time: 30 minutes up to 1,093°C, at £42.00, with 4.4 from 1,548 reviews. It is not a burglary grade. If the will is in a thick folder, check the fit before you trust the “up to A4” line.
Which is the pick for a cupboard and a key, if I accept thin walls?
The Favor S5 K, when the cupboard can take about 250 × 350 × 250 mm and you want 18.6 litres at £80.50. The body is stated as single-walled. That price does not buy EN 14450. The S3 K is 10.2 litres, but its title still says electronic, so do not treat it as the default key pick until the lock field is what you order.
Is the S5 K a higher grade than the S3 K?
No. S5 and S3 are size steps. The UK table lists both K versions as mechanical, 18.6 litres against 10.2 litres. Neither listing prints EN 14450 or EN 1143-1. Paying £80.50 instead of £52.34 buys capacity in this set, not a certificate.
Should I skip the S3 K because the title says electronic?
Skip it until you have read the lock field. The title says electronic. Lock Type and the bullets say a double-bit key and two keys. If you want a PIN, the matching listing is the S3 E at £57.99. If you want a key and the clash is still on the page, do not guess which sentence the warehouse will follow.
Is the S3 E the best if I want a code?
It is the only code listing here, at £57.99, with 4.3 from 832 reviews and four AA batteries in the bullets. It is the right pick only if you test the emergency key and keep that key outside the safe. One review found the key too thin for the flap, and another found the keys locked inside. It is the wrong pick if you need 18.6 litres or a fire time.
