What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Listing details are inconsistent: the title says 1 cubic foot and gives exterior dimensions of 16.93" W x 14.57" D x 9.06" H, while details give 28 liters and 37D x 42.6W x 22.2H centimetres. The manufacturer feature text lists four mounting bolts, while its detailed mounting text says two bolts are included. Fireproof is listed as a feature, but customer feedback raises fire-resistance concerns. Confirm the size and mounting-hardware details for the selected listing, and do not treat the fireproof label as a verified rating. The product listing also states that AA batteries are not included.

That feedback matters for buyers choosing it for everyday storage, but the listing does not establish a fire-protection rating, and mounting details are inconsistent.

Frequently asked questions

How is the safe opened?

The listing describes a reprogrammable electronic keypad and two override keys. The safe is shipped locked, and the first opening is described as using an override key.

Are batteries included?

No. The listing says the keypad uses four AA batteries, which are not included.

Can the safe be mounted?

Wall and floor mounting are listed, and the description also mentions mounting to a shelf. The wall needs support underneath. The listing conflicts on whether two or four mounting bolts are included, so check the selected listing.

Does it protect contents from fire or water?

The feature table labels it fireproof, but no rating or test details are supplied and customer feedback mentions fire-resistance concerns. It is listed as not water resistant.
