Customer feedback is generally favourable about functionality, size and keeping valuables tucked away, though some find the safe quite large. Concerns include fire resistance and durability, while views on break-in resistance and mounting are mixed. Those reservations matter if you need verified fire protection or strong resistance to forced entry. The listing's keypad, override keys and mounting hardware describe intended features, not proof of performance.

Positive themes

  • Customers describe the safe as functional and a useful size for storing valuables.

Negative themes

  • Customer feedback raises concerns about fire resistance and durability.

Mixed feedback

  • Feedback is mixed about how easily the safe can be broken into and about mounting.

Yes. The listing describes an adjustable, removable interior shelf.
