Master LockCertified Fire and Waterproof Safe Box with Digital Combination, 10L, 419 x 193 x 375 mm, Portable, for home and professionals

Heavy and secure(ish), holds a fair amount of documents. I mostly use it for passport and various IDs I need to keep safe. Certainly good for the price. The lock is kind of weak but will hold up against light tampering, but I purchased it more for being fireproof than secure.

Arrived on time and in good condition. The keys are inside. It was hard to open at first. But I think this is down to the tight fitting lid (which is what you want on a fire safe). Once the seal is broken it opens easily. Big enough to store lots of paperwork, some jewlery and USB disks. Very heavy, but seems secure.

Bought for A4 documents and thankfully A4 documents provided they aren't in files fit. Some paper document folders full of A4 fit quite well as do envolopes that take A4 papers.As expected of Master Lock the lock and even the locking mechanism and opening catch are rubbish. Check out the LockPickingLawyer's youtube channel if you are under the illusion that Master Lock make anything thats difficult to get into. Well I'm wrong it was very difficult to open when it wasn't even locked. The mechanism is poor and if you don't press the opening lever just right (you need to press the part nearest the lock quite hard) it won't open. That discovered and not being worried about security only fire it seems to be the best item for size in its price range.Edit> Think I should add that the weight of the thing is a major downside. You need to plan where this will go put it there, pehaps bolt it down (there are internal marks for doing this) and then never move it again. Did I suggest it was heavy? Originally I'd planned to put this in a location where I'd need to move it to get at the contents, due to the weight this isn't going to happen.

After searching for a deed box that will hold A4 documents in envelopes, this certainly fitted the bill. After watching an online video of it being dunked and roasted on a fire etc it satisfied me it was a worthy purchase. Don't under estimate the weight! The kind delivery man waited by the door and explained how heavy and be careful lifting (Thanks Amazon). It does hold A4 in envelopes completely flat inside which is brilliant. I ordered a metal pot stand as suggested in previous reviews and it is now very portable as it does not have a carry handle. Important to note, it is a fire and waterproof document storage case and NOT a safe.The build quality is excellent as with the documentation. Highly recommended.

Extremely disappointed- my children are young 2&4 years and they have pressed the buttons on the safe and it has completely locked the safe. We cannot put the pass code in as it is locked.We tried to contact the company- no response! We have some very important documents in there.

This arrived in just its retail box. Nothing protected it during transit. No polystyrene or bubble wrap. This concerned me, especially given some of the previous reviews so invoking it was a bit nerve wracking. However, this fire proof safe did in fact arrive in perfect condition. I'd imagine that it's a gamble, depending on the couriers driving and handling.Upon opening I read the instructions. These were very well written and simple to understand. It offers good advice on care, usage and maintenance. You must read these instructions otherwise you might find you have some issues. Information as to what to do if you loose a key and skills problem solving.It's really simple to use. Supplied with two keys. The locking mechanism seems quite secure. But it isn't meant to be a vault. Its primarily to secure documents and electronics to keep them safe from fire or flood. I think it would deter most thieves from attempting breaking into it.Some previous reviews mention a white powder. I had that slightly around the hinges. But not a lot at all.Don't underestimate the weight of this. It is heavy.Beware that if you intend to bolt this safe down it mentions in the instructions that it will no longer be guaranteed safe from water ingress.The space inside is generous. I have three hard drives and a bunch of important A4 documents, which lay flat and our passports, licences etcetera.This is the cheapest 1 hour fire proof safe I could find on the market. And I'm impressed.

Good value

I’ve got this to store some property deeds in. This was one of the few units that stored A4 papers safely in a fire for up to an hour - all the others 30 mins inc the larger A4 doc one. The security / door release seem flimsy (but may prove otherwise) but I intend leaving it unlocked anyway as the papers have no value as such to anyone else and fire (and water from firemen) would be my biggest threat. Leaving it locked would only increase the risk the unit might be removed from the premises and opened elsewhere by a disappointed burglar, with discarded papers never to be seen again. I believe the unit can be bolted to the floor but this compromises the waterproof qualities of the box. Shame there is nothing externally say where a chain could be attached securing it locally - might us the key-lock then! It’s very heavy and I have it under a bed using a thick Sainsbury bag-for-life under it to facilitated sliding it back and forth on the carpet for infrequent access. Used to store these documents at the bank but they don’t want to know now!
