Amazon Basics Steel Home Security Safe with Programmable Electronic Combination Lock for Documents, Jewelry, Valuables, 1.52 Cubic Feet, Black, 13.8"W x 13"D x 16.5"H

This is a nice safe. Much heavier and sturdier than I expected, which is great because I was afraid it would be flimsy. Not the case. The lock system is easy to set up and straightforward. If you want something secure but don’t want to spend a fortune I recommend this case. Worth every penny!

Yeah,A nice sized safe without silly extras.It uses a key, which I have found more useful than fingerprint scanners or electronic combination locks.Keys work reliably.

I like this safe a lot. I bought two other brands and had to return them both because of problems with them. Third time is a charm, and this one is not going to be returned because it is exactly what I was hoping for. The price cannot be beat. It was easy to set the code to open it up.

Overall I'm happy with the safe for the price.The size allows me to fit what I was planning to put inside. Next to a sleep number bed the height is just above the frame and it's workable as an additional night stand. The top shelf is easy to reach for items you need to be able to reach from bed.The electronic lock works well so far and the two mechanical backup keys are sturdy. The walls are single layer steel but certainly of a heavier gauge than sheet metal on any car. The locking bolts are sturdy enough that they're oversized (a good thing) in relation to the rest of the construction. The electronic pad can take 3-8 length keys. The keypad can beep or be silenced and there are not-brighter-than-necessary lights that give visual feedback. The keypad has a lockout feature for some deterrence. There are pre-drilled holes in the back and bottom to allow permanent fixture to the wall/floor.In purchasing a safe at this price point there should be a lower expectation of security. The bolts on the door lock are sound but with the single wall construction otherwise on the door I believe it would be easy to penetrate the unit above and below the lock with a sledgehammer. The weight was manageable to carry inside by one barely-in shape person, which while convenient also suggests bolting the safe down if you're worried about it ever walking away. The mounting holes as well are larger than they need to be and there isn't a mechanism (other than a carpet for the floor) to seal them with what the safe includes. If keeping someone from learning the nature of the contents by peeping through the mounting holes on the back and bottom is a concern it's something to consider. The back wall is more spot than seam welded but adequate in relation to the door.My biggest gripe with the unit is the door fitment and specifically how it rubs on the bottom. It takes a good tug on the door at its rest state to pull it open, which makes a distinctive noise as well. If pulling up on door while opening it, there's almost no rub and the noise is nearly inaudible. While acting quickly in the middle of the night it could make more sound than you might prefer (but at this price point there's probably a fair bit of deviation between the units). Another shortcoming was that only three anchor bolts were included when the unit has 4 holes on both the back and floor for mounting, and one of those bolts is so wedged under the bottom door frame that I haven't been able to pry it loose. This may be affecting the door fitment.In all, the benefits of the size, top shelf position and cost make this a satisfying purchase. Is it fireproof? Briefly frame retardant I'd guess at best. Will it take someone with a sledgehammer more than a minute to be able to fit their hand inside the door? Likely not. But will it be effective in keeping children and not-too-determined house cleaners & home visitors out? For this price that's a great application. Will it stop a projectile? Probably not all of them.

Let’s start with the kind of safe it is. It’s a 1/8” plate steel safe; it is not fireproof. It is idiot proof, however. It has a key as well as a keypad to secure the door and your possessions. It has anchors, which are suitable for concrete, block or brick. It has predrilled 3/8” holes in the back and on the bottom. The bottom holes are perfect to put lag bolts through and secure to the floor. This safe will stop your kids, grandkids, friends of the aforementioned and punks who break in while you’re vacationing. A “pro” could surely defeat it, so if you’re expecting Fort Knox for just over $100.00, you’re not going to get it and probably never will. I have had big rifle vaults which are pricey but effective. I would tell anyone looking to protect their loved ones, secure your pistols, some jewelry and some other items buy at least one! The craftsmanship is outstanding, the locking mechanism is strong and has two 5/8” bolts to secure the door. The hinges are recessed from the door opening, so you’re not getting into it quickly, without tools. I forgot to mention there’s a small shelf about 4” from the top, which is my ammo shelf. If anyone has any questions, I’d be happy to help you out.Sean

I thought it was going to be too big but it turned out to be the perfect size. Easy to operate and set up. Very happy with this purchase !

Great basic safe. My three boys all have one for their "valuables". Easy to set the code and there is also a key as a backup.

Nice safe. Bolted it to the floor in the closet. Going to have to rip up the floor to remove it! Works well and love the key backup. All in all I cannot complain for the price. Would definitely buy again!
