Electronic Safe Deposit Box - Drop Safe with Digital Keypad and 2 Manual Override Keys for Business Cash Drops or Home Safety by Paragon Safes

This fire proof safe arrived and performs exactly as indicated in the Amazon ad. Let me provide more details.First off, the packaging wasn't the greatest. The box looked like it have been through a lot and wasn't in the best of shape. Once I cut the box open (from the bottom) I lifted it up and away from the safe. I cleared away the packing material (which was somewhat crumpled) and examined the safe. It was NOT damaged in any way. Its not cracked, dented, or scratched at all. The bottom is not bulging and the safe sets perfectly flat on the floor.The door does "rattle" in the closed position (just a very little) but no more than what you'd expect. I don't think adding weather stripping to resolve that problem is necessary; as its not a problem. I didn't have any problems storing 2 different combinations in the keypad, the key pad works fine. I also tested the lock out feature by entering the wrong combination (on purpose) and the lock out feature worked. It beeped continuously for 3 to 5 minutes. When the beeping stopped, the keypad was reset and ready to enter another code. The keypad does beep with each key stroke; that doesn't bother me but it might some people.One concern I have was that the keypad appears to be little more than a plastic calculator on a steel safe door. I tested the keypad by hitting it 3 times with my crowbar. Now, I didn't whack it with all my might, but I did hit it pretty good all 3 times. The amount of force I used on the keypad I don't think most calculators would have survived. The keypad seemed to absorb the force from being struck by my crowbar and continues to be fine. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure if I kept trying eventually I could break into the safe with my crowbar. Either through the door or breaking off the keypad, but that would take some time and a lot of noise making effort. After all, its NOT a bank vault, its a home safe.I assumed the 4 pre-drilled holes for mounting would be on the bottom; but that's not the case here. There are 2 holes on the bottom and 2 holes on the back. The mounting hardware leaves a lot to be desired. I'd like to see brackets to attach to the underside of the floor making the mounting much more stable. I'm going to close off the 2 holes in the back as I'm not sure how they'd effect the fire proofing if they were left opened.All in all, I'm very pleased with this purchase. I'm going to buy the brackets to mount from under my house which is a bit more than most people would probably want to do; but I think its well worth it as I don't plan on buying any more safes.

First of all I'd like to apologize to anyone who might have bought this safe based on my earlier enthusiastic 5 star review about the product . I'm editing it to set the record straight.Initially I was impressed by the safe's sturdiness and its functionality; I was very happy with this safe. I guess now in hindsight I willfully ignored some warning signs like how the entire upper lock cover is made out of plastic, or how the knob which is the only way to turn the two solid steel deadbolts is also made out of a cheap plastic. In the end it was this last part that did it.After only 3 months of very moderate use I punched in the code one day, it gave me the confirmation beep that I had entered the right code, I turned the knob like I always do and then *SNAP*!!! The knob just spun freely 360 degrees in either direction. Retrieving the key didn't help either. The lock will not budge. You can't turn the key. It's jammed shut. And the worst part: The rest of the safe is very sturdy and the steel is very thick so it's not exactly the easiest safe to break into.So now I just called a locksmith and am going to pay him $75 to open a $35 safe to retrieve my $500 gun and my passport. Needless to say this was a bad deal. Shouldn't have went cheap on a safe.

This safe is perfect for small, valuable items. It is listed as being fire resistant, not fire proof. There is a difference between the two! We keep all of our car titles and important papers in this safe but they are safely tucked away inside of fire proof bags that we also purchased on Amazon.It is not going to be water tight either. There are holes in the bottom so the safe can be bolted to the floor, which for me is a plus.The main reasons I love this safe are:- It is perfectly sized for home use and can be easily hidden out of sight.- There is an adjustable shelf on the inside which allows you to put more things in there without having to pile everything on top of each other.- You can bolt it to the floor or to a wall.- It has BOTH key and touchpad opening.We looked at safes for a few weeks before deciding on this one. It is heavy but doesn't require two buffed out grown men to carry it. That was also important to us because when it was delivered, WE had to carry it in the house and put it into place.It's perfect for what we needed and I'm very glad we bought it because it gives me peace of mind that my valuable items in my home are under lock and key.
