The only issue I have with this item is that the design did not incorporate handles on the sides. This feature would be extremely helpful in moving the safe. It is currently very awkward to move as you have to place your hands under the safe which is sitting on the floor. Not very easy to do especially with the weight.

I have a safe deposit box at my bank but wanted something fireproof for my home for other type important papers only to me. This is well built and meets my needs. Some posts have said it is hard to lock so I don't bother locking it. It is possible for someone to carry it off so if they see it just has my old papers in it and not valuable to anyone, maybe they will leave it alone.

I just hope, if ever needed, that it actually works. I read the reviews before purchasing, and I agree. It is NOT a safe. The locking mechanism is very flimsy. And the unit is heavy and awkward. Definitely needs a handle or two. But I bought it to keep valuable papers safe in the event of a house fire. So I trust I am secure in that aspect.

I like the size and weight. The it's challenging to get the key to fit in the lock. It takes a lot of wiggling around before it'll insert fully. This makes me a little nervous about it's build quality or longevity. I assume that it can be bolted to the floor, but the instructions don't address this in any way. I'm nervous about cutting in to the bottom, as it could void the warranty or enable me to return the safe. But securing it seems essential to its function.

The safe is nice and sturdy. It has plenty of room in it. However, when I opened the box, one of the keys was completely bent so now I only have one key for it and no back up key. I do not think I should have to pay extra for another key considering I wasn’t the one who bent the key to begin with. Maybe the keys should be packaged better so this does not happen to other people.

I was looking for a water/fireproof safe for documents, and other things and everything was too small...or way too large. Then I found this file safe. It is perfect! I love it. I got it home and right away put all my valuables inside. It opens easily, and is attractive in looks. I have it in my closet, and it is heavy enough to stay put when I open and close it. Perfect. I recommend this for anyone looking for a safe that isn't tiny, and isn't huge...this is the perfect mid-size secure safe.

This isn't a fancy fire box, but will hold twice as much as our old Sentry, which gets passed down to the kids, so it has double value. It doesn't have handles, or look fancy, but it has lots of room for our growing number of important family documents, and that makes it valuable and useful, for a great price, with free pick up at our local store.

This safe is perfect for all the documents we want to keep safe in the event of a fire. The size accommodates documents in hangfiles for easy identification and access. Due to the nature of the safe, it is rather heavy and a carrying handle would make it easier to lift and move.

This fireproof box is understandably heavy. What's not so understandable is the lack of handles to help lift this heavy and slippery box. Also, be advised that you must have the key to both open and close this box, you can't unlock it and close the lid. Not sure that I would recommend this product due to those two difficulties

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Overall, I like this box/safe. One improvement would be to add a carry handle of some sort. I was disappointed to learn that things which might melt are not recommended to be stored inside. Other than that, it's a viable alternative for storing documents/etc.
