The Company traces its History back to 1875 when S.G Austen opened a key cutting operation in Beacons field Kimberley. This was followed by the opening in 1910 of a key cutting operation in Germiston, Johannesburg by his son W.J Austen as well as numerous key cutting operations in the subsequent years, namely the Yale Cabin and the Lock Cabin.
In 1945, Austen Built Safes was incorporated and in the same year the company changed its name to Austen Peterson Safe Co. From 1945- 1951 the Austen's opened under the name of Chubb Safes, which was then sold to Chubb as Chubb Safes.
From 1951 the Austen's operated under various names including Milners Safe, Chatsworth Milners and Viro Locks. From 1992 onward the Austen's assisted in building Biltmore Safe Co into the largest services and refurbishment company in South Africa.
