Amazon Basics Fire Resistant Security Safe with Programmable Electronic Keypad, Secure Valuables and Important Documents, 14.17"W x 12.2"D x 15.75"H, 0.83 Cubic Feet, Black

This company rocks!

When the battery gets to about 7.20v, the safe will not open given the correct code. Otherwise, it seems to act pretty normally. Replacing the batter restores proper function. The code is not lost with battery change. Manual states:• When the battery runs out, the red light will light on together with the green light after input thecorrect security code. Then you will need to replace the batteryI did not remember. Pretty good safe. I wouldn't trust it for 30 minutes with a determined junkie, but it might be okay for a while in a mild house fire.

Solidly built safe, works as advertised. My only gripe is that the top shelf sits on flimsy connectors that fit in slots on the side, they are not secure and fall off. I wish the top shelf had a more secure connection.

Best safe I have ever purchased. Very easy to program the combination. Heavy duty and very well designed and built. Heavier than the other ones that I have owned and thicker. I would highly recommend this safe from Amazon.

I've seen good and bad reviews on this safe, mine will be very positive.It arrived (about 2 hours ago) extremely well packed and arrived with absolutely no knicks, dents or scratches. It arrived looking exactly as I would expect, show room quality!It's hefty, which I expected, but I am (at 67 years old, and haven't seen the inside of a gym in many years), able to lift it and move it short distances with no real difficulty.Followed directions, very detailed manual included, put in a battery, used the factory code to open. Continued to follow instructions (watch out when entering a code: to open, you end with the pound sign, when you are setting a new code, you end it with an asterisk) to set my own code, and everything went according to plan. Again, if instructions are followed everything should go quite smoothly.One thing I like is you are not limited to a four digit code, you can set anything from 4-8 digits, I like that feature. I also like the adjustable shelf, if it had been fixed, I would have had problems getting my stuff to fit.It was mentioned that the electronic box that you enter codes on is flimsy. Yes, it's plastic, and yes, if I step on it, it will likely break. I simply can't imagine the circumstances where I would step on it. It does the job, worst case if you should manage to break it, you can simply use one of the two included keys to gain entry. Under normal usage I just can't see it being an issue.Does it meet my expectations, yes! Would I buy it again, yes!

Like another reveiwer described to the letter, I purchased this unit in 2019 and then this month (Jan 2025) I noticed the safe would not longer unlock despite entering the correct pin code. I change the batteries and no fix. The pin code is a accepted (entering and invalid code has a different response, I didn't forget it) and then the motor weakly clicks as if it cannot open the lock. The key can manually open the safe still. I tried shaking the safe (maybe it jammed somehow?) and resetting battery multiple times and I got it to unlock digitally once with the door open already, but have been unsuccessful in further attempts. The safe worked fine for multiple years until this month. This feels like planned obsolescence - I will be buying a more reputable brand for my next safe.

We reinforced a shelf in our closet that was about waist high added an extra board for thickness and attached it with a carriage bolt with the washer on the inside of safe. Also, we added a motion activated light on the inside to be able to see. Hopefully it would make it harder for someone to carry it off. We couldn't attach it to the floor as we are older and it would make it difficult for us to squat down to get entrance. Setting our own combo was easy.....the safe moves a little as we punch in the combo. There is plenty of room inside for what we need.....still planning on ordering the fireproof pouch for any cash we may have on hand and our passports and other documents. Our great grandson was here over the weekend and it gave us a sense of security to know our guns were locked up. It does make noise as you punch the buttons. so if you're needing your gun for an intruder....the noise might not be beneficial for a surprise attack. The only thing is to remember to keep the handle in the open position as you retrieve whatever you're wanting because if the handle goes back to the locked position, you have to re-enter your code to be able to shut and lock the safe....So far we are very pleased with this purchase......a word of advise....the safe is quit heavy and we removed the door to be able to lift it in place, secured it with the bold and then reattach the door..

Purchase this over two years ago works perfectly fine. Haven’t had to replace the batteries. The only thing is the keypad sometimes comes off easily fixable. It’s supposed to come undone when you need to put the key in, but it’s a little flimsy staying back in place when you do
