Fireproof Home Safe - Electronic Lockbox with Keypad, 2 Keys, and Interior Shelf - Protects Cash, Jewelry, Documents, and More by Paragon Safes (Gray)

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.

The safe is sturdy and simple to use. The previous reviews that this safe was excellent for the price, weight and quality were accurate. The only problem was the instructions on how to use the safe were stuck in the door and we could not open the door until a lock smith who was repairing a another lock for us, was brave enough to pull it out without leaving fragments in the door so it could be opened. We are very happy with it so, we give it full marks with the caveat that the manufacturer should place the instructions in the box.

i have one like this same company this new one was a much inferior quality, the top hinge was broken with parts missing. it did not have that same secure quality, i think that flame could enter through the space between the doors. Amazon rectified my situation in less than 10 minutes perhaps a bit more expensive model would be better the company has a good reputation Paragon Safe

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.

This appears to be a recurring problem. The safe is fairly heavy, and the packaging isn't up to protecting it. The styrofoam packing material was broken, and the front right corner of the safe was noticeably dented - to the point where it would not be acceptable if it were to stand alone. Amazon was willing to work with me and allowed a reasonable rebate. So rather than return it, I built it into a closet cabinet and trimmed it out to cover the damage. The safe gets five stars for function. It works exactly as advertised. It's easy to set the combination, the lock works smoothly and dependably. Can't vouch for its fire characteristics or resistance to break in. Seems very secure, and I know there's no way I could break into it - don't know about a pro. Fit and finish are where it loses a star. As noted by a few reviewers, the door is very loose and flops around a bit when it's locked. However it is easily tightened up with a few (four) rubber drawer bumpers. Took about a minute (Paragon might consider including them). The safe appears to be cast and is not perfectly flat across it's face. Therefore, the trim necessary to disguise the damaged corner would not fit exactly flush to the front of the safe (1/16 of an inch out of flat). From a foot away, though, it looks great. It would be nice to be able to turn off the sound effects that accompany entering the six digit code, but not imperative. All things considered I'm very happy with this safe. Paragon needs to fix the packaging issue. It's a heavy and awkward piece of equipment to take a chance on having to ship it back because it's delivered damaged.
