| nice safe. just wanted a excellent one without stupid electronic digital lock(dreadful ones that break down on sentry safes i had), just the combo lock with key. works just fine. serves the purpose for storing vital papers, coins, etc. nothing very valuable....not that heavy so it could be picked up and taken away unless its bolted down to the floor with attached parts. excellent price too! well satisfied with it. |
Received in brilliant condition

| I was a small hesitant to buy the safe after reading reviews on the website that people had received it in a hurt condition. I was pleased that it was packaged well and really undamaged. From my research on the web, it was my understanding that this safe was the replacement for a Brinks model safe that I already owned. In my opinion, it is not really the same. The opening size is smaller, so that if you are placing items inside that are just about the same inside dimension as the safe specifications the items have to the tilted in order to get them through the opening. Because of that, the safe does not hold as much as the Brinks model. |
Quirky literature, but a excellent product.

Upon receiving the safe, I first noticed that it was badged "First Alert" rather than "Honeywell" as depicted on this listing. Otherwise, the dimensions, specifications, and interface are identical. I assume "First Alert" to be a Honeywell trademark. On to the review...
Mine was flawless and undamaged, contrary to some of the other reviews I read here and elsewhere. It seemed solidly build, though there is a small play in the combination dial. After carrying it up the stairs by myself, I had no doubts about the ~50lb weight. It came with three booklets (in three languages), and a set of keys. Upon removing it from the box i naturally tried opening the safe.
It wouldn't open.
I read the manual countless times, and sat on the floor questioning my intelligence for thirty minutes before contacting First Alert customer service. After about five minutes I was speaking to an agent. After I told her the model no. of the safe and my difficulty opening it for the first time, she instantly provided my solution with a quickness that suggested my call had not been the first: the manual was printed incorrectly. Rather than follow the LEFT-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT combination sequence as printed in the manual, I dialed in RIGHT-RIGHT-LEFT-RIGHT-LEFT. Problem solved. /Shrug. The combination dial is precise, though as I mentioned earlier, I would have appreciated perhaps a small more heft and resistance to turning it, but I'm not complaining. In this price range you get what you pay for.
I give it four stars for being a essentially what I had expected - a small, relatively inexpensive, fireproof safe. I'm not too concerned about it being able to withstand a blitzkrieg or Bonnie and Clyde as I bought it to protect some vital documents and electronics in the event of a fire. If it had opened straight away, and if the shelf was a small more substantial, it would have received five. |
buyer beware

| I researched on Amazon all the fire safes and the reviews were the same.........that they came in hurt. This safe didn't have a review, it was a small more expensive, so I hoped they would package it better for shipping. They didn't. It came in with two huge dents on the side. The shipping center only had packing on the bottom and the front. The sides were left unprotected and the right side was dented. The safe looked sturdy overall, but I'm sending it back. I'll go to a store instead where I can see the safes myself. |
