TIGERKING𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐲 𝐃𝐮𝐭𝐲 Large Safe Box, 2.05 Cubic Feet Home Safe with Touch Screen Keypad & Built-in Lock Box, Digital Safes for Home Office

For the money, this is a great safe. Is it the most theft, water, and fire proof safe? No, of course not, but I'm very happy with it. Smooth function and easy to learn features. The side walls are relatively thin, that is my only real complaint. Spacious interior with decent quality lining. The corner of the safe was lightly damaged upon arrival. I highly recommend this for someone who wants moderate protection for their valuables.

Very happy with this safe! The quality is very good.

First, I would call this more of a safe box than an actual safe. I waited about six weeks from when this safe box arrived till I reviewed it to give myself time to give it a thorough trial. Overall, I am satisfied with this purchase. There are several things potential buyers should be aware of.1) The quality control of the interior leaves much to be desired. Case in point is the very poor way the covering is attached to the inside of the bottom of this safe box. The covering arrived peeling away from the inside. While this didn't really bother me, it points to very poor quality control and sloppy workmanship.2) The door actually comes off! I discovered this when I tried to effect repairs on the covering mentioned in the previous point. I tipped the safe box over to better access this area when the door actually fell off. It's designed to come off, apparently. The hinges are held in place by the weight of the door itself (which is hefty). I'm not sure if this could compromise the contents. I personally doubt it, as you'd need much more clearance. The only reason the door came off was due to me intentionally tipping the safe over as I attempted to repair the covering. The door popped right back into place - but it did surprise me a great deal. I'd recommend the manufacturer secure the hinges in next upgrade.3) At about 60 pounds, you are getting an item that could easily be carried off even if the safe box is fully loaded - granted you'd need two people, but it could be done. Potential buyers should be aware of this. You can bold it to the floor or to the wall. In my case, living in an apartment, this is not a good option for me. I would not keep anything of really high value in this safe box.4) Because of the weight issue just addressed, this safe box WILL NOT be a 'one-size fits all' solution. It is, I believe a very good solution for individuals like myself who live in apartments and don't want to damage walls/floors by attaching this with the provided bolts.-- For me, this safe box fit my needs because I don't live in a high crime area and there are other security precautions in place in the apartment. I also balanced my expectations on this safe box by considering price, storage capacity and weight. Where I living in a house, my choice would have been a much heavier safe with perhaps bigger capacity, but this would have cost two or three times as much. I consider this safe box a reasonable accommodation to my housing circumstances.5) Capacity. This is one area where this safe box exceeded my expectations. It is quite roomy, especially if you remove the shelf, you can get a surprisingly large amount of things inside it. First, there is a box 8.1 inches by 3.5 inches on top that you can hold things inside for added safety. ADDED BONUS: there is another area that you can store items in. The very bottom shelf lifts up and you have an additional compartment about 10 X 14 inches and about two inches high. If you look at the first three pictures, you will see the first one with this lower shelf lifted up. The second shows the shelf installed. The third photo gives you an idea of what you can store inside this area if desired.6) Price - For the capacity you get, the price is quite good. Actual safes in the 2 cubic feet range will run you at least twice the cost of this safe box. Granted, a regular safe will have added security features and a lot more weight.7) Variety of locking features. You can set this safe box to need access with just keys or just by combination. I like that you can set your own combination, which I did with ease. There is even a audible alarm that sounds for about 30 seconds if 3 bad attempts are made at entry. It's not all that loud, however. My alarm clock is louder than this audible alarm.8) Overall security: Look, I bought this accepting that it had limitations. I consider it a good safe box, not a safe. I wouldn't use it to store anything of high value. I do use it to store some computer flash drives, papers, and moderately valuable coins in my collection. I would not recommend this to store firearms, but it could be used for this purpose. I suggest consulting storage requirements in your State or country if you intend to use it this way. It would NOT be compliant with the State of California requirements. I don't believe it be too difficult to break into this safe box if a determined thief wants to get at it, they will find a way to do it. Of course, the same is true with almost all home safes. If used in conjunction with a security system in the house/apartment, it offers adequate protection.BOTTOM LINE: Understand the limitations of this lock box BEFORE buying. I still would recommend it AS LONG as these limitations are understood. I found it a good compromise between price, capacity and security for my living situation.

There was some shipping damage, mostly from Amazon. The top of the safe at the corner was cracked, the plastic covering for the cubby at the top was popped off and with some snaps cracked off, and the bottom shelf at an incline under the support. Given how dented the bottom was from the safe's feet, it was likely slammed down at least once. Given that the top cracked, I would recomend people not to put heavy things on top of it.Good parts:Two layers of metal around the safe.Has lip around door to avoid easy reset of password.Needs two keys to open without code.Has a backup power option if your battery dies.Cubby hole under bottom shelf.Bad parts:Tubular key as an emergency key. These get broken in a couple seconds. It would be better to get something more secure for that.Plastic door for top cubby. No idea why, everything aside from the door has metal. Maybe you can make a metal door but it is just really weird.Light is not very good and you can't move it more than a half foot away from where it sits. I would recommend getting a magnetic touch light and putting it on the ceiling of the safe as there is a decent amount of room for it.It weighs very little. I could easily pick it up without much trouble but it is not lightweight. Just not very heavy.Overall:This is a good safe for the size and money. It covers for its weaknesses surprisingly well for what the usual companies do for this price range/size. Do not get this if you need a very secure safe. It can be smashed into relatively easily if people wanted to in around 10 minutes with a hammer and prybar. A smaller, thicker safe with better weldings for the same price would do much better. For storing guns or jewelery, I would recommend using the bottom cubby, as kids and those you know could get into the top part easily. That is, if they have access to the general safe. Compact rifles (without a magazine, folded, quick disconnects, etc...) and many handguns will be able to fit in it with plenty of room for other stuff. If you need a large safe that is decently secure, this is a very good option for you.

Ordered this during the recent Amazon Prime sale at about 40% off list price. Some of the reviews were not good but I was pleasantly surprised. The safe was very well packaged and arrived in perfect condition.Note-- The safe is heavy and easier to move in the shipping box with handles precut in the packaging. It would be best to unpack it in the area where it will be placed. Just my 2c. I am not planning to drill anchor holes or anything. I will simply use it to keep kids away from stuff they should not be touching.The combination of keys, touchpad, and interior key systems provide all the security I need.I am not using this for storage of the Crown Jewels and this safe is not really designed for that.This safe is not fireproof or waterproof but feels very sturdy. You'll need 8 AA batteries in total. Four for the safe keypad and four for the backup battery pack. All of this explained in the directions that come in the box. There are also TigerKing videos online that explain how to set things up as well.
