 Very excellent safe |

| This safe is mainly made of plastic, but the combination lock, 4 locking bolts and the internal gears (sounds like) are heavy-duty metal. There is a generous amount of room inside, unless you have a fantastic deal of papers and other valuables to protect. I tried following the directions to open the safe door via the dial, but I could not until I found some better directions further back in the manual. I was able to open the safe. I memorized the combination, then practiced over and over again. After 1 day, I was able to open the safe every time, by memory. I can get into the safe, using the dial, in about 20 seconds. Read the directions. I would only use the keys in an emergency. If you do not learn how to use the combination and you should lose the keys, you will be locked out. Learn the combination and place the keys in a safe place away from the safe, not in the safe by any means. I recommend this safe; it is well-built. |

I bought this safe and chose to do a custom modification. I was able to successfully bolt this safe to the ground. It is on the lower floor of my home in my office. I place the safe in the closet, so there was carpeting, underlay for the carpet, and then the cement. Doing this says it would Void the Warranty in the Owners Manual, so please be aware before proceeding with this. I chose to since the Safe was affordable ($108).
I bought the following to get the job done:
- Drill
- 3/8" Drill Bit
- 5/8" Masonry (Cement Drill Bit)
- 3/8" x 5" Lag Bolts with 5/8" metal jackets to go into cement(if your not sure, question at the hardware store)
- 4ea 3/8" Washers
1. 3/8in Drill bit to drill approx 4-1/4" from the top and 4-1/4" from the side in each corner of the safe. This allowed enough for a drill. Be sure to measure based on your tools!!! I then drilled from the bottom into the safe the 4 holes, 1 in each corner.
2. With the 4 holes drilled, I then went and drilled through each hole into the carpet so that I would have my markings right.
3. I then drilled using a 5/8" Masonry Bit for cement till the 5" bolt was about 1.5" above the floor, then inserted the expandable metal jackets in each hole and pounded them snug into the hole with a hammer and screwdriver, place the safe over top and tightened the bolts w/washer into the floor with a socket set and/or wrench. Note: watch that the bolts are snug against the plastic, as to not crack the plastic.
- Each Lag Bolt was excellent for 500 lbs, no one is going to go the safe now, that is 2000lbs a thief would have to work with.
- The bolts were tightly secured against the plastic, ensuring no fire or water would enter.

| This safe would not open using either the combination lock or the key. We called Honeywell to problem solve. We were told to use a "butter knife" to break the seal. It didn't work. I ordered a replacement and five days after receiving the original item it finally opened. I was thankfully able to cancel the delivery of the new safe. Since that time the safe opens easily. Another issue is the strong chemical smell in the safe. It is necessary to air it out for at least a week to minimize the odor. |
