 Fort Knox it is not May 08, 2010
I bought this primarily for the purpose of keeping a few important papers (my passport and so forth) and petty cash away from prying eyes and hands, and it's served me well.
Pros:
Cost- it's cheap.
Shipping- came on time.
Size- it's portable, and easy to move and keep out of sight.
Cons:
Security- it's not great.
The keypad is useful for quick access, but the real security failing is the backup key lock. I understand the purpose of the key, and given that the batteries that come with it burn out so quickly, it's absolutely necessary to open the box to replace the batteries so you continue using the keypad. The problem is that if a determined person looked at it for five seconds they would realize the little piece of plastic over the keyhole is covering a lock, and they could then fairly easily pick the lock using a hairpin, a couple paperclips, and a small screwdriver.
The second problem is that although the box itself is pretty well constructed, the latch is small. I would bet that anyone determined to get into the box could bust it open with a crowbar in no time.
Conclusion: you get what you pay for. It's not Fort Knox, and you shouldn't expect it to be. Anyone who REALLY wants to get into the box can and will do so, as long as they don't care if someone realizes that they broke into it. Don't keep firearms, state secrets, or lots of cash in it. Even if they can't break into it in your office or home, it's easy to just pick up and steal. I didn't buy it to keep out determined burglars, so I'm happy with it. It just deters the overly curious.
If you want a more secure lock box (Al Gore, you should be listening!), spend a few extra bucks and go for the Stack-On PS-514 Personal Safe with Electronic Lock. It's a bit more solid, and it's only an extra 20 or 30 bucks. If you want Fort Knox, go buy a personal safe for $500. You can't expect something that costs $35 to be unbreakable.
 Perfects for important papers! Apr 11, 2010
I have so many documents that need to be kept safe and safe from damage. This safe is perfect...it was a good buy.
perfect to keep the kids away Jan 10, 2010
I bought this to keep a gun next to my bed, but to keep the kids out. it works perfect. who cares if your gun is stolen as long as it can't be used on you while you are there.
