Shellmate safes in several sizes with a wall-mounted steel key cabinet

Manufacturer and supplier

Shellmate builds safes in its own workshop at 2 Bryce Road, New Ardbennie, Harare, and also supplies the wider range of safes, cabinets and locks that businesses and homes ask for. Buying from the maker means you can choose the size, lock and options, and the same company delivers, installs and services the safe afterwards.

Heavy-duty safes

For cash-handling businesses we make heavy-duty safes in 140, 200 and 340 litre sizes, with thicker bodies and doors than a standard home safe. These are the safes many people in Zimbabwe call "Chubb safes"; Shellmate heavy-duty safes are our own manufacture.

Lock options, including digital safes

Key lock: simple and reliable, works through power cuts.
Mechanical combination dial: no key to lose and no batteries.
Digital keypad: quick to open and easy to change the code.
Electronic lock with override key.
Dual locks (for example keypad plus key) so two people are needed to open the safe.

Delivery and installation

Delivery within Harare is free. We deliver and install nationwide and serve clients in neighbouring SADC countries. Safes are best bolted to a concrete floor or wall so they cannot be carried away; our installers do this as part of the job.

Safe prices in Zimbabwe: what affects the cost

We give every customer a written quotation rather than a price list, so the safe matches what you actually need to store. The price depends on:

Capacity and outer size.
Standard or heavy-duty body.
Lock type, and one lock or two.
Options such as a deposit slot or extra shelves.
Delivery distance and whether the safe is bolted down.
Quantity: buying several safes for branches lowers the cost per safe.

Questions buyers ask

How much does a safe cost in Zimbabwe?

Price depends mainly on size, whether the safe is heavy duty, the lock and delivery. Tell us what you want to store and where, and we will send a written quotation, usually with more than one size option.

Where can I buy a safe in Harare?

From Shellmate at 2 Bryce Road, New Ardbennie, Harare. Call +263 77 960 1652 or request a quotation online. Delivery in Harare is free.

Key lock or digital lock?

Key and mechanical combination locks work without power. Digital keypads are quicker and easier to change. Many businesses choose one of each for dual control.
