I needed a Eurograde safe and Safe.co.uk made it so easy to arrange everything. They were quick to put me at ease with their expert knowledge and advice and the transaction was painless. Delivery was arranged on a convenient day to suit me and the driver even rang me when he was leaving his previous drop so i knew when to expect him.

The Magno 540E is a soundly built safe with a simple and effective operating method which is easy to open and close. Whilst there was only one rear fixing point when I had expected two or maybe even four, the aperture for the bolt was considerably wider than that on my previous unit and this made it much easier to install a high-tensile bolt and tighten it properly with the socket wrench using an M12 nut. Other similar units have such small round access points for the bolts that most sockets can get stuck in the hole as there is no clearance if the anchor is not 100% central to the hole. Another noticeable benefit is that there is no annoying 'tone' when entering numbers into the keypad and that also there is no continual bleeping while the door is open - both issues I did not appreciate on a previous safe which had failed. The door is internally hinged and when closed there is an anti-pry rebate that covers the hinge side of the door, with three-way bolts locking to the other three sides. This makes for a sound closure and feels purposeful. If there was one element that could be improved it would be to add a second shelf as there is space to accommodate one if you are using it for small items rather than files and the side walls have multiple positions to adjust the single shelf you do receive. All in all a well-made solid unit that made the purchase price more acceptable over some similarly priced safes from better-known manufacturers whose products did not compete on build quality. Hopefully it will prove reliable as there is no over ride on the locking mechanism so if it fails it will be a locksmith visit or dynamite to open it.

Great safe, lots of internal space and very solid construction. Having looked around the market this safe seemed to represent very good value for it's cash rating. However the control panel could be more robust and feels a bit flimsy and I think the manufacturers could try and improve this.
Delivery driver was very helpful.

Big heavy block of metal which should deter any thieves. However the rotational lever to open the safe is made of flimsy plastic and the mechanism is stiff so I think this will fail soon. Perhaps this part is sacrificial in the case of unauthorised access? If so then it should say so in the instruction manual.
