Cathedral Products DSBA4 UL Certified Lockable A4 Fire & Waterproof Security Chest

Very good at the price but if it had been an extra inch each way it could fit A4 envelopes better.

This is my second one, heavy, lockable and fire proof, hope I don't have to find out. great for keeping private documents safe in. comes with two keys.

I have an older, similar but significantly larger case that easily fits A4 documents whilst they are within the envelopes they were sent in. (After opening them, I like to keep the documents in their original envelopes to keep them apart whilst filing them and make it easy to remove a given document / set of papers by picking the correct envelope). This case is smaller than my old one so, whilst A4 documents DO lie flat inside it nicely on their own, they do not quite lie flat if still in their containing envelope as the envelope is obviously slightly larger than A4 - which somewhat ruins my filing system of keeping given documents in their own envelopes! That said, it is a solidly built case and as smaller, it is easier to move around the room than my larger one. All in all, it gets 5 stars all round for quality as it is a great, solid and compact case but 1 star removed from overall total as it does not work for A4 pages if left in their envelopes as described above. (The description does however show the case's internal dimensions so I guess I bear responsibility for this as I should have measured the envelopes (rather than the A4 documents) when checking fit!). Bottom line is do your own measurements and if you just need to store A4 documents lying flat on their own (or smaller things), this is a fantastic case, exactly as their description and for a very accessible price so I recommend it but, if you want to store your documents in envelopes slightly larger than A4 (as required to fit A4 sheets in them), measure the envelopes themselves carefully and compare to the internal dimensions (you will probably find they will not quite lie flat!) or decide on your filing system first!).

This thing is an absolute beast. I wouldn't be surprised if it's bomb proof. As other users have said, it is very heavy but the handle makes it easier to move around and I think most grown men/women would be able to lift it without too much trouble. A4 paper fits in well but I wish it was a tiny bit bigger so all A4 papers could sit completely flat. With the way it is, A4 edges will curl ever so slightly up on the edges of the inside of the box. But if, like me, you only have a hand full of documents that you want to keep safely together in one place, this is a very good solution. I don't rate the lock much (reckon it could easily be picked by someone experienced in that) but it's good enough to stop kids, nosey guests etc having a peek. EDIT: Forgot to add, a fairly generous sized pouch of the silica stuff was included which is a bonus as you don't have to buy it separately or wait for your next pair of shoes.

I've had a fireproof box from this company before (20 years ago) and was expecting this one to be similar. It's nothing like the old one 🙂 It is sturdy, solid, feels bullet proof and built like a tank, reminds one of a "brick outhouse" and if you were daft enough to drop it on a foot then good luck not having broken bones. Yes, it really is exceptionally heavy - that will be the fireproof lining then 😎. We are using it for backup external drives and as other reviewers have suggested, it lives near the main exit door of the house so that it could be grabbed in an emergency. With so much of our lives now stored digitally, this feels like a good investment to protect the backup discs.

Important house documents are locked in this item and it is great to know that they are protected from water and heat. Also like to know that they are all in the one place.

This box certainly satisfies my needs to keep my will and Lasting Powers of Attorney safe from fire. I didn't buy it to keep them safe from thieves, being portable its not really good for that, and previous reviews about the flimsy keys are not relevant to my needs. But what surprised me is how heavy the box is, I had to pick up the box from a DPD pick up location, more about that later, and I struggled to carry it to the car. It looked as the DPD driver also had difficulty and had tried to carry it by the plastic wrapping around the very good packaging, because it was badly torn, though the cardboard box packaging was intact and undamaged. The box itself was completely unblemished. So I am pleased with the box. What I am not pleased about is the delivery and in fact I complained to the seller directly about it. The DPD driver recorded that he had attempted delivery but there was no-one in to sign for the parcel, and that he had left a card and quoted the card number. Whereas he did not call at the house at all, and did not leave a card. He took a photo of our front garden from the street at the rear of our house and I did recognise it, clearly it was our stone wall and our plants, and our lawn. And we had been in at that time that Saturday morning. It would appear that he had just not walked around the corner to our front door, perhaps because he found he couldn't easily carry the parcel? Nevertheless, he (perhaps she) lied about what had occurred and I then had to go and pick it up........ This is not an unusual occurrence with DPD deliveries and I complained to the seller and asked why they used them. Their response was that Amazon made them use DPD, not really a credible position, certainly not one that I believed. I felt that I had been fobbed off. Not good customer service. So product good, delivery experience rubbish, hence only 3 stars.

* Physical This is a HEAVY duty piece of kit for the protection of a4 docs you can't afford to lose. It very heavy, with oversized clasp fastenings. The device is opened with the keys in the lock. It's locked when rotating and removal of the key. There are two keys and make a copy of the number in the safe is to be copied securely in case you lose both of these keys. It does say opening the document safe every month to stop papers going mouldy with trapped humidity. This can cope with extream heat and water protection to an impressive level. It's over-engineered but in a good way. its a fair price and it came quickly to our house. I had an issue with the locking mechanism of this deed safe, but eventually found their contact details and proved a great help. Youtube has a video on how to EASILY repair this locking issue.

altamente recomendable por la seguridad que aporta. el tamaño de capacidad es A4. pero justo justo A4, unos milímetros de margen hubieran sido de agradecer, ya que los documentos caben exactamente y a veces cuesta retirarlos para su consulta. en todo caso es una caja muy maciza y de elevado peso, que dan una gran sensación de confianza y seguridad. cierres pesados, duros y rígidos que completan el conjunto y la sensación de seguridad que transmiten

Sehr hochwertige Verarbeitung. Der Innenraum dürfte 2 cm noch vertragen, da er meine DIN A 4 Blätter nur leicht gebogen verstaut.

Lieferung per DHL im normalen Zeitrahmen (ca 5 Werktage). Bedienungsanleitung in englischer Sprache plus verständliche Skizzen. Der Koffersafe wiegt ca 14kg... was auf seine hohe Widerstandsfähigkeit gegen Feuerhitze und Wasserdichtigkeit hoffen lässt. DIN A4-Blätter bzw -Verträge passen (samt Klarsichthüllen) ohne zu knicken hinein (keine DIN A4-Ordner !!!). Ich hoffe nicht, daß der Ernstfall einmal eintreten wird. Aber falls doch, dann vertraue ich auf diesen Dokumentenschutz.

Es una mini caja fuerte. Está muy reforzada (se nota en el peso). En mi caso la empleo para almacenar baterías de Litio y de otros tipos (tengo varios vehículos de RC y otros aparatos que las llevan. No puedo decir por experiencia que sea efectiva (no he tenido ningún fuego afortunadamente), pero quiero pensar que lo es. Pegas? no es especialmente barata...pero es el precio de la seguridad...

Tragbarer 'Safe'. Super verarbeitet. Kein Leichtgewicht. Ohne Schlüssel unmöglich für Laien zu öffnen.
