Phoenix Dione SS0311E Electronic Security Safe review
Keeping a laptop, tablet and paperwork out of casual reach in a home office or holiday let, once it is bolted down.
By Tom Calder · Updated 24 July 2026 · Price checked against our tracker
Phoenix designed this as a hotel safe, and that shows in the one genuinely useful dimension: 520mm of internal width takes a 17-inch laptop lying flat, which almost nothing else at this price does. What it does not have is certification of any kind — no fire rating, no burglary grade, and a '£1,000 cash' figure Phoenix itself only describes as what the safe is 'recommended for'. At 13kg with a 4mm door and a 1.5mm body, the supplied fixing kit is the security here, not the steel.
£146.40 including VAT, verified live at safe.co.uk on 24 July 2026 (reduced from £151.20, in stock, free next-day delivery), and corroborated at £148.40 by Cost Cutters UK. Other UK retailers list it far higher — Total Safes around £190, Cartridge People around £246 — so this is a product where shopping around genuinely pays.

- 520mm of internal width swallows a 17-inch laptop flat — rare at any home-safe price
- Motorised high-security electronic lock with two user PINs, a master code and backup override keys
- Back and base come pre-prepared with a DIY fixing kit for brick walls or concrete floors
- No certification whatsoever — no fire rating, no burglary grade, and the £1,000 figure is a Phoenix recommendation, not a rating
- 13kg with a 1.5mm steel body: left unbolted, one person picks it up and carries it out
- Not fire-rated at all, so passports and deeds belong in a fire safe instead
