Exam Security Package for ZIMSEC and Cambridge Centres
Everything an examination centre needs to store question papers and scripts securely: tamper-proof dual-lock safes, steel cabinets and strongroom vault doors. One manufacturer, one invoice, installed by our team. Trusted by leading schools and institutions.
- Dual-lock: key and combination
- Safes, cabinets and strongroom doors
- One manufacturer, one invoice
- Installed and supported nationwide
Built for examination papers
Schools and colleges that run ZIMSEC and Cambridge examinations must keep question papers and completed scripts locked away from delivery until dispatch. The Shellmate Exam Security Package covers every part of that: a safe for the papers, secure cabinets for scripts and stationery, and a strongroom door where the centre keeps a dedicated exam room.
We manufacture every item in our Harare workshop, deliver it, install it and support it afterwards. You deal with one company and receive one invoice.
What the package includes
| Item | What it is | Why it matters for exams |
|---|---|---|
| Tamper-proof exam safe | Heavy steel safe with key and combination dual locks | Two locks mean two responsible people must be present to open it |
| Steel security cabinet | Lockable double-door steel cabinet | Stores scripts, stationery and confidential records in order |
| Strongroom vault door | Heavy steel door with inner grille gate | Turns an exam room into a strongroom; the grille keeps it ventilated while staffed |
| Installation | Delivery, positioning and bolting down | A safe fixed to the floor cannot be carried away |
| After-sales support | Servicing, lock and combination changes | Locks keep working exam season after exam season |
Dual-lock security
Exam safes combine a key lock with a combination lock. The key and the combination are held by different officers, so papers can only be accessed with both present. Combinations can be changed whenever staff change.
Which size for your centre

What affects the cost: the items chosen, safe sizes, the strongroom door and wall work, and the distance for delivery and installation.
