What to know before buying

Listing details to confirm

Customer feedback reports disappointment about the lack of fire resistance. Treat this as a basic storage safe, not a stated fire- or water-protection solution. Mounting hardware is claimed in the feature text, while the included-components field names only a screw, so confirm the selected listing's kit before purchase. The listing also gives dimensions as 33D x 35W x 50H centimetres and as 13.8 x 13 x 19.7 inches externally, with stated interior dimensions of 13.62 x 10.35 x 19.53 inches. The separate chamber measurements of 13.6 inches wide, 19.53 inches deep and 19.53 inches high do not match those interior dimensions, so the usable interior measurements are inconsistent.

Customer feedback is generally positive about home-use security, functionality, roominess and setup. Those impressions fit the listed keypad, shelf and 50-liter capacity, but do not establish a particular level of burglary protection. Feedback also raises the lack of fire resistance, while views on build quality, ease of use and weight are mixed. The listing confirms no water resistance and provides no fire rating, so buyers needing environmental protection should choose accordingly.

Customers appreciate its size and roominess, as well as ease of setup.

Negative themes

Customers express disappointment that it is not fire resistant.

Mixed feedback

Frequently asked questions

Does the safe protect contents from fire or water?

The listing identifies it as not water resistant and provides no fire-resistance rating. Do not rely on it for either type of protection.

How can it be opened?

The listing specifies a programmable electronic keypad and a backup key for emergency use. It requires AA batteries, which are not included.

Can it be mounted?

Floor and wall mounting are listed, with pre-drilled holes and hardware claimed in the feature text. Confirm the mounting kit in the selected listing because the included-components field only names a screw.

Which interior dimensions should I use?

The listing provides interior dimensions of 13.62 x 10.35 x 19.53 inches, but separate chamber measurements conflict with them. Check the usable dimensions before buying for a specific item.
