AEGIS Fireproof Safe Box, 1.2 Cubic Feet Small Fire Steel Security Home Safe with Digital Program Keypad for Office Dorm Money

The safe met all the things I was looking for - heavy duty, a degree of fire resistance, well constructed and simple to install and use. Instructions were very clear. Safe uses a code of varying length of your choosing and has a way to open it in the event of dead batteries using an external battery. That came in handy for me as I will describe later. It also has back up keys in the event of an emergency. I installed the safe in a cabinet, mounting it with the holes on the base and the back. I'm out of town now but will see if I can add a picture later.The thing that impressed me most was Aegis' responsiveness, customer service and assistance with a problem not of their making. After I opened the impressive, solid shipping box and removed the safe, I put it aside while contractors finished some work in the room where I planned to install it. I took the bag with the keys, instructions and back up battery cable out before I did that and put them aside until I was ready to install. I had not installed batteries in the safe at that point. Unfortunately the contractor may have scooped the bag up with the accessories along with his construction waste. I was not able to open it when I was ready to install it. Aegis walked me through what I needed to do with an external battery bank to open it so I could bolt it down and is sending me replacement keys coded to the lock on the safe.Aegis provided a level of after sale service not always seen these day. Very happy!!John

I was watching the news and saw a family prying open a safe after a forest fire destroyed their home. Once opened, you could plainly see the contents were ashes. If fire is your primary concern, you'll likely need a concrete lined safe costing much more and being much heavier, I know, I had one of those safes when I lived in the mountains. That said, I'd recommend putting important documents in a fireproof bag or box then putting them in the safe. That's what I did and it gives me peace of mind. Who knows how good the fire protection is until after a catastrophe hits. Sadly, the family that was able to pry open their safe did so fairly easily and the safe's construction look similar to this one. This is a good safe for keeping valuable items from walking away and may give some protection against disasters but just know, at this price point, it's not the safe deposit box at a bank. If that's what you're looking for, look for a safe that cost 4 or more times as much as safes in this category. I'm happy with my purchase, it arrived quickly, undamaged, and works well. My only complaint would be after entering my code it kept flashing the red error light when I tried to open it. Turned out to be my own fault and if the instructions had been a bit more clear, it might have saved me a bit of anguish but I'm perfectly happy with my purchase and would recommend this safe as it's large and secure.

Safe arrived in good conditon and operates as advertised - haven't tested it for fire yet thankfully - but the emergency access key that was provided with the order was incorrect. One email to the seller and within a few days, the correct key was delivered to my mailbox. Good CS. Thank you.

I wanted a fire safe that also provides some security. This one is solid and I like the features for the price. It's large enough to store most normal size documents without having to roll or fold them. It's heavier than many others safes this size and about twice as heavy as some (which is a good thing to me). It was easy to figure out, operate, reset combination, etc. If it was waterproof, it would have it all. It may be possible to make this one waterproof with the right gasket. I'm satisfied so far.

when I opened the safe the clips for one of the shelves were broken , e-mailed the company and they sent me new ones. Love the service and the safe is exactly what I needed
