I bought this off of Amazon on September 20, 2017 for $39.99, within 2 weeks of owning it, the digital key pad stopped working, I changed the batteries at least 4 times, I used Alkaline, Heavy Duty, and even freshly charged rechargeable, none worked, but they all worked in other products such as remotes for a t.v., the keypad was done for. I couldn't find a way to contact the seller on Amazon (I'm not sure what is up with that), so I cut my losses and just used the keys. My entire reason for purchasing this item was to keep my 17 year old son from taking my cigarettes. I don't know how he did it, but even when I had both keys on me, the keypad not working and without batteries he was still able to get into it! from reading reviews on Amazon I guess you can just hit the top of the safe and the door pops open.
This is a small safe, it's good for small documents, medications, jewelry , even a pistol would fit, but not much else, my dad sent me a yellow envelope with important papers to put in here so I'd have a copy of them here (he lives in another state 4 hours away) I had to roll it to get it to fit in there.
It is nicely made the description says it is made of Solid Steel , has a Double Dead bolt lock on the door, and hidden wall anchoring on the back for mounting to the wall, or on the floor of the safe to anchor to a floor. The hardware for anchoring came with it.
The overall outer size of it is 12" W X 8 " D X 8 " H
It has 2 options of using it, the Keypad or the Keys, the key area is not a normal shaped key like you get on the smaller flat safes that you can slide under a bed , usually has a handle. or like the keys for a locking filing cabinet. I chose this style in hopes the key area would not be able to picked, like they can on those types. So the only thing I can figure on how my son still gets into it when I have both keys on me, and the keypad is toast and has no batteries in it, is from reading those reviews on Amazon of being able to hit the top corner and the door opens. I've not tried this so I'm not 100% sure.
The reviews really aren't all that great on Amazon, out of 108 Reviews it does have a 4 out of 5 star rating, however 11% of the ratings are 1 star reviews. Most of the 4 to 5 star ones I read , seems like people who live alone, or have toddlers and not really anyone to attempt to break into their safe. so their thoughts may change as time goes on, who knows.
But if your living on your own, or aren't planing on putting anything in here that you don't want others to steal, and just keep them safe from a fire. This will do the job.
