Chubb Safe Story

Chubb safes is one of the most trusted safe names in the industry. Over the past 200 years, Chubb gained experience and reputation in developing technology and safes to boost protection levels for the benefit of consumers. Let's take a look at Chubb safes' history.

Charles and Jeremiah Chubb created Chubbsafes in Wolverhampton, England, in 1818. The Chubb brothers started out designing and producing safes and locks for banks and other financial institutions. In 1818, the brothers added to their successful year by patenting their Detector Lock, a breakthrough device at the time. With pick-locking attempts or attempting to open it with the wrong key, the Detector mechanism rendered the lock useless.

With the Chubbsafes brand continuing to flourish, the Chubb brothers filed a patent for a burglary resistant safe in 1835 and started up shop in a safes and vaults door factory. 

The company changed its name to Chubb & Sons Lock and Safe Corporation Ltd in 1882 and became a private limited company. Chubb & Sons Lock and Safe Company Ltd would continue to operate for the following 98 years, until 1984, when they were acquired by the Racal Electronics Group and renamed Chubb Lock Company. Chubb Security was then listed on the London Stock Exchange in 1992.

Many countries have introduced the well-known Chubb brand to consumers over the years. In 1896, Australia established its own Chubb subsidiary, contributing to the brand's global expansion and growth.
