KYODOLED Fireproof Lock Box for Documents, Dual Combination and Key Lock Security with Carrying Handle, Metal Strong Safe Box to Keep Personal Items,Documents, Exterior 12.8" x 8.4" x 4.5", Black

I was honestly worried this box would be too small when I ordered it (I’ve been burned by “compact” lock boxes before that barely fit a passport), but I couldn’t have been more wrong. The KYODOLED Fireproof Document Box is the Goldilocks of lock boxes — just right.There’s plenty of room for birth certificates, passports, cash, external hard drives, jewelry, and a few other valuables with space left over. The build quality blew me away; it’s heavy-duty metal that feels indestructible, the hinges are solid, and the key lock works smoothly with zero wiggle or cheapness.Knowing it’s genuinely fireproof (not just “fire-resistant” marketing speak”) gives me real peace of mind. The latch seals tight, and the whole thing just screams quality.If you need a small, tough, fireproof lock box for personal items or important documents, stop scrolling and grab this one. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat and happily recommend it to anyone. Worth every penny!

I wasn’t for it at first because of the negative reviews. It’s a little tight. But, I believe it’ll be a great storage box for my medication. It was definitely worth the money. I love the way looks. It was so easy to open and close my medication storage box. No problem with using my keys either. So, in my book it functions great. In spite of some reviews, I gave this storage box a 5/5. I purchased another box. And I was very disappointed. So, I’m sending the other one back because this medication storage box is perfect!

I purchased two of these: one for each of my children. I plan to save money for them until they either turn 18 or graduate high school and I feel like these lock boxes are perfect for that purpose! They are big enough to fit plenty of cash (or keepsakes) but also not too bulky. They look elegant, lock and unlock easily, and appear to be waterproof or at least water resistant. I think for the price, these are going to be a good value for money spent and cannot wait to present them, filled, years later to my kids.

Nice and strong

Perfect size and weight for what I need!

First, at the time I write this (Jan/16/25) the Honeywell is listing at $37 while the KYODOLED is listing at a more modest $30. And when I bought the KYODOLED less than two weeks ago, I paid $28, so I saved $9 in addition to getting a color that I liked more. Many reviews describe problems with the KYODOLED lock. So far I have no problems, but I can see that the lock is operated by just a *tiny* extrusion of the "key". This seems likely to lead to failure if you exert significant force on it, or if lock or key are slightly out of spec. Which would explain those reviews. In contrast, the Honeywell fire-resistant box has a normal keyed lock, which I trust a lot more. (You can also get real locks like the Honeywell has loose; in fact I have a few in my parts box from when I put a lock on my car's interior "storage box". So if my concerns over the lock become serious, I might try one of these in the KYODOLED; it looks like you can simply unscrew the existing lock.) Since I do not have any complaints about the lock yet, and may not get any, I did not subtract a star. I will update if that changes. One reviewer complained that the lid is single layer. Actually, the lid is triple layer just like the sides and bottom, but thinner. While the sides and bottom are about 10-11 mm thick, the lid is about 3 mm thick (leaving only about 2 mm for the fire-resistant insulation). The Honeywell has it just opposite, the sides and lid are about 8-9 mm thick, while the bottom is about 5 mm. Assuming that the box is standing on something that can burn, I would give the advantage here to the KYODOLED. However, in my case the Honeywell is standing on the bricks of my fireplace, and the KYODOLED on a metal file cabinet, see pictures, and the biggest problem should be burning things that fall on the box. So the Honeywell seems to have an advantage in my case. Another reviewer complained about sharp edges. Well, neither of my boxes has any. The edges on mine are about as sharp as an American dinner knife; they do not cut any meat. Neither box is (unqualified) "fireproof"; they are fire-resistant. Neither box is water-resistant, although water that comes down on them should not get in. But neither box claims to be water-resistant either, as far as I see. I actually like it that way, as it allows gasses inside to escape, rather than build up to bad levels. My Honeywell is black. which fits well with the other black steel of my fireplace. (A pretty horrible teal is also available at additional cost.) My KYODOLED is "sand", which fits much better with the file cabinet on which it is standing and the fire- and water-resistant document box next to it. The "sand" can sometimes seem a bit greenish depending on viewing conditions, however. Maybe I should have gotten the beige, but another reviewer complained about that color. The sand fits in pretty well, anyway. The Honeywell on the fireplace is next to the door to my porch and contains both lighters for the fireplace and flammable mosquito spray. The KYODOLED contains Lithium-Ion battery items that I am not currently using, like a spare camera battery, a Tiny Spectrum Analyzer, and a mobile phone with a European SIM. I also want to use the box as a "Lipo bag" when charging the batteries periodically, which requires that the lid stays open a bit so that the charging cable can get in. To do so, I hold open the lid by putting the lock lip on top of the front edge of the box. And I have put a tiny bolt in the edge of the lid, which combined with a ziptie ring should prevent the lid from being blasted open easily by any exploding flame-spewing battery. To be sure, Lithium-Ion battery explosions seem to be exceedingly rare (other than for bare ones like in model vehicles). But the actual batteries are very unsafe: the safety is achieved by means of sophisticated attached circuitry, chargers, and cables. Such complexity is always worrisome to me. Also, if my house catches fire due to some other reason, I do not really want my lithium batteries to add to the fireworks anyway.

I have important documents that I keep in this box. I don’t need a big document holder so this is perfect for my needs. It’s also great for keeping cash for life’s little emergencies and also paying my plow guy

Excellent heavy duty string box. Bought because one I had bought was too small This one fits legal sized documents/ envelopes nicely I like the dial lock
