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.

Frequently asked questions

What kind of lock does this safe use?

It has a programmable electronic keypad and two override keys. The keypad requires four AA batteries, which are not included.

Can the inside shelf be removed?

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

Is this safe water resistant?

No. The listed water-resistance level is “Not Water Resistant.”

Does the listing establish that it protects contents in a fire?

The listing describes the safe as fireproof, but customer feedback raises concerns about fire resistance. The supplied details do not give a fire rating or test conditions, so do not treat the claim as a verified level of protection.
