First and foremost, whoever wrapped this safe for shipping should be givin an award!
This came with thin metal corner pieces, inside very think pressed cardboard, after that a layer of foam, and then bubble wrap.
The outside was pretty beat up but the cabinet itself was in perfect condition.
Moving on.
As another customer wrote, the directions was for another safe. (Didnt set code yet so cant review that, only used with key)
The battery pack is NOT 9 volt.
Its 4 double AA batteries. The battery pack is located inside the safe right behind the keypad.
BEWARE: The yappy wrong password alarm is extremely high pitch and annoying as **** I tried to set it and made too many wrong attempts and woke the kids up , lol.
Moving forward.
As I called it before, a cabinet because its not exactly a safe , you see. While it has safe like features, and a heavy steel door thats about it. The other 3 walls are rather thin, very thin for a safe. But its like a heavy cabinet. All the weight is literally in the door. While the seller says up to 6.5 CM of steel in the door, it dosnt matter if you can take a grinder and pop through the tin walls on any of 3 sides.
So yea, its a heavy cabinet. Another thing I very strongly dislike is, when you use the key to open it , it just releases the handle, as oppose to truly locking the mechanism and releasing handle activity, so in short , it kind feels like under enough tension, the handle can be forced and unlocked.
Im not sure if the thin walls is a standard for these kinds of things, Im more familiar with real safes, actual real enforced steel on all sides , which this is not.
So overall, 3 stars.
Durability is decent, walls a bit thin like I said, keypad password is annoying to set up, followed the wrong instructions and dont work, (will update review once I do that) . Again shipping and packaging was simply aming, well wrapped and alot of care went in to it to protect from damage.
It IS one of the cheaper cabinets you can buy on , Im very curious to know if they all have thin walls with a solid door. Hm, will have to do some research for that. This safe is good to simply lock things away from kids or guests, I wouldnt trust this against burglars , especially if they have time on their hands.
Anywho, hope my review helps somebody out.
Take care, tooteloos for now.
Oh! Also, shipping said earliest date 2 weeks , but it came literally like 2/3 days later which was nice. Interesting.
Full review begining to end.
