SBD Key Safe Taking the Market by Storm: The Defender Pro-TEC from Solon Security

Already being hailed as a game-changer by professionals across the country, the Pro-TEC combines independently verified security with a user-friendly design and customer-friendly price, offering a level of assurance and value that’s simply unrivalled in the market today.

The Defender Pro-TEC isn’t just a key safe, it’s peace of mind. Rigorously tested and accredited to LPCB standard 1175 Issue 8, it delivers verified resistance against forced entry, meeting the strict performance benchmarks required for Secured by Design approval. With its reinforced body and heavy-duty thunderbolts for masonry installation, the Pro-TEC provides trusted security that housing providers and care professionals can rely on.

Solon believes that acquiring police recognised security shouldn’t mean emptying your budget. That’s why the company worked extensively to bring the Defender Pro-TEC to market at an unbeatable price point without compromising on build quality or certification. In addition, at a time of ongoing cost pressures across public services, they are proud to have guaranteed a price hold until 2027, giving customers clarity and confidence when planning long-term procurement strategies.

Thoughtfully Designed with Users in Mind

While security remains the foundation of the Defender Pro-TEC, its smart, user-friendly design is what sets it apart. As well as having the deepest internal space amongst competitors, the safe features a soft-press push-button system, making daily operation simple and efficient. The Pro-TEC features a built-in memory-clear function that eliminates accidental keypresses, while the 12-button interface enables thousands of secure code combinations.

Unlike many alternatives, the Pro-TEC does not auto-lock, significantly reducing the risk of accidental lockouts, which is especially valuable in fast-paced or emergency situations. Finished with a durable, weatherproof cover for added protection and discretion, the Defender Pro-TEC is engineered to perform reliably both indoors and outdoors.

Recognised Security. Unbeatable Value.

The response from customers has been overwhelmingly positive. Customers consistently praise the Defender Pro-TEC for its robust construction, ease of installation, and dependable performance. Whether for supported living schemes, lone worker access, or multi-site facilities, the Pro-TEC is quickly becoming the go-to choice for professionals who can’t afford to compromise on security or service but want to ensure they get the most out of their budgets.

Solon Security’s General Manager, David Simpson, said: “Since launching the Pro-TEC in 2023, the product’s trajectory has been remarkable.  Solon had already been supplying the key safe sector for almost 15 years and felt we understood what customers really wanted: recognised security at a realistic price, that could reach as many of their end users as possible.

“The response to the Pro-TEC’s arrival has shown that thinking to be correct and we look forward to welcoming even more new customers and users during the months ahead. Particularly during our price-hold period, during which buyers can enjoy saving time, money and worry until 2027, at least.”

Hazel Goss, Secured by Design, commented: “The Defender Pro-Tec Key Safe is another great product offered by Solon Security that is fully tested and certified by LPCB for this market, offering a 12 button combination wall-mounted key safe, security rating A1(SR1). I am looking forward to Solon bringing on even more certified products in the future to help reduce crime.”

Solon Security is proud to continue supporting safer communities through innovative, reliable and affordable solutions. The Defender Pro-TEC Key Safe is a testament to what can be achieved when security, quality and value come together in one SBD-approved package.
