Steel Security Safe and Lock Box with Electronic Keypad, Secure Documents Storage, Black, 0.5 Cubic Feet, 13.8" W x 9.8" D x 9.8" H, Removable Shelf

I’m really happy with this purchase! The safe is compact but has enough space for my essentials like passports, small valuables, and some cash. It feels sturdy and the locking mechanism works smoothly. Setup was easy and it came with clear instructions. Great value for the price, especially for basic home use. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a simple and reliable safe! By the way, I just bought another one, the 0.5 cubic feet model, for my sister, since I've been very satisfied with my first purchase of the 0.7 cubic feet one.

This safe seems good, but we locked out keys and instructions inside accidentally before we put the batteries in the keypad. I read some reviews of people getting locked out of their safes too. Luckily Amazon had the instruction book online and the instructions give you instructions if your keypad batteries ever die or you are locked out! We followed the instructions we found on the Amazon product page and used a 5 v charging cord from my husbands hearing aids, and plugged it into the slot under the keypad as instructed, entered the default code, and amazingly were able to open the door and finish our install & set up.

AmazonBasics Security Safe 0.5 Cubic Feet General: I purchased the safe from Amazon Warehouse Deals (the item was backordered and I wanted to get something in place before traveling). I couldn't even tell that it had been "refurbished" or "used". All of the necessary pieces were included-2 keys, instruction manual, 4 anchors and the safe itself. If you are concerned about the safe not being fire rated, just buy a fire resistant bag and call it good. Install: I had zero issues with the installation. I ended up only using two of the drywall anchors that were included. I was able to use 3" lag bolts into a stud for the other two. Overkill? Probably, but that safe isn't coming out without the stud attached to it. I read a few reviews of users saying, "the included anchors didn't fit through the hole of the safe". That is by design. Simply take the anchor assembly apart, slide the bolt head and washer through the safe and reattach on the other side. Just an FYI, the included anchors are designed to be used in masonry or brick but will work in drywall. If you just plan on mounting it to the wall, go grab a few carriage bolts with some spring toggles and you should be good to go. Mounting to the floor? Get a lag bolt with a good "bite" to it. Sink those suckers in and you are ready to go. Usage: Keypad was easy to program and the backup keys worked great. Things that beep drive me nuts so I went ahead and got rid of the pcb mounted speaker immediately. Simply unscrew the two phillips head screws, disconnect power (I might as well tell people to play it safe) and pull the the PCB assembly. You have a couple options here. 1. Poke a hole through the speaker (long cylindrical piece making the obnoxious sound). 2. Put a glue or epoxy into the speaker. 3. Put a small piece of duct tape or electrical tape covering the hole (if you want to have the option of removing it at some point). 4. Use a soldering iron and desolder the connection points (I am a bit of a perfectionist and like things to have a clean appearance). 5. Take a pair of pliers and rip the darn thing off. I have had zero troubles with the safe of the operation of the safe so far. Pros: *Easy to install. *Secures to wall very securely. *Piece of mind living in an apartment that valuables can't just get swiped. *Good size, which makes this easy to stash away in a closet or inconspicuous location. *The two shelf spaces. It makes organizing the safe much easier. *Heck of alot better than my old "safe" that I could open with the end of my fingernail clippers. Cons: *Beeper is annoying. *Beeper is annoying. *None. Summary: You are getting what you pay for here. Sure, it isn't Fort Knox but it will stop or slow down would be robbers/roommates/junkies/maintenance men with sticky fingers etc. I plan on buying a couple more just because, I am an American, and that's how we role. Enjoy!

Pros - solid feeling, not too big so can fit under bed or on a shelf, allows for bolting to floor or wall, easy to open (once you figure out the trick, see Cons below), interior easily will hold proudly 4” worth of 8.5”x11” paper lying flat plus several bulking items (think jewelry boxes, hand guns, other valuables). I saw the photos of it surviving someone’s fire, and it looks like it would last a fire awhile but because there are holes for mounting, you might want to get a fireproof pouch to put inside as well or fill the holes. Due to the holes, definitely not waterproof but it might be enough to fill holes with caulk? Cons- took awhile to figure out the code thing… the trick is to follow instructions and when it mentions press #, the trick is to press AND HOLD # (which wasn’t mentioned). After that it is easy. The safe probably could be broken into with medium effort, but for theives looking for a quick pick, they’d probably take a pass especially if it’s bolted in. Probably not fully fireproof, and definitely not water proof, but work around might be doable (see Pros above).

Great product for my needs. Simple setup. Good price.

This safe is good. It was easy to set up. I like that there are keys in case of emergency. The locking mechanism/dial on the inside of the door, takes up room inside the safe. So 8.5 x 11" documents don't fit nicely. They get bent over. The next larger size is probably what I need.

Surprisingly solid feel to it considering how it’s compact and the price of it, so far no problems, great price and seems like a great product; thanks Amazon

It is a very basic safe. It can be used to keep things from people in the household (e.g. dangerous things from children). I doubt it has much value against break-ins. It is heavy but can still be carried away by an adult. Of course, it can be nailed to the wall but I am not handy enough to do that. My family members including myself have the habit of misplacing important documents, which is what I bought it for. In this sense, I use it as a storage cabinet. It is large enough to store a 15'' laptop (17'' might work too but one has to wriggle it a bit to put it in).

Great deal Unfortunately I needed a safe as my local credit union is no longer offering a safe place for their members personal papers

très bon produit pour un petit coffre

Firm safe, decent weight, feels robust
