Quality safe, comes complete with hold down bolts. Batteries mount on outside so can be changed if you accidentally let them go completely flat. Comes with neat slide out trinkets tray and adjustable shelf too.

Only thing, we've added felt to the otherwise unprotected internal surfaces to stop it scratching any jewellery put inside. It will hold unfolded A4 documents too, but folders even only a few mm larger than A4 are too big.

The issue of keeping papers dry (and free of mould) in this type of safe was a challenge to me, as I had not previously understood that this type of safe's effectiveness depends on the internal humidity of its structure.

The instructions accompanying the safe suggest airing it out regularly, which was not practical for me. Having now resolved the problem (I hope) by enclosing my documents in a bag with dessicant, I generally like using it, and am only hoping that what I have done will not affect its functioning in a fire....

I would therefore encourage you to post on your website more technical information about the type and structure of this safe, so that this issue (which I have since discovered is common to all firesafes of its type), and likewise the limited amount of protection against a determined burglar which they afford can be considered in advance by your customers.

Access to this information in advance would have let me focus sooner on the safe's benefits, which are also considerable, especially given its very modest price.

What I'm hoping to convey here is that a bit more technical and general information up front would avoid a period of "buyer's remorse" about what is in many ways a very nice product.... and would ensure it's bought by the right buyers.

This safe is perfectly fit for my needs. It has a solid built quality and has sufficient space inside.

The coded lock system is plastic and is placed on the front which can easily be sabiotaged. My only concern is that if this is damaged there would be no way to access the inside of the safe.

Useful shelf & tray.

Other than minor issue with depth of interior (see "Con" below), plenty of space for papers and computer media.

No problems (so far) with setting & using the combination lock.

Could do with being 5-10mm longer from front to back ; only just takes A4 sheets.

may not be feasible

I have to say that Safe's pre-sales support is great... answering any question I had before purchasing. What I would say at this point is; do your research before buying any safe. There's always more stuff than you might initially think should go in your safe. We put a bit o thought about this before deciding on this medium sized safe.

After ordering, the safe was delivered by a red faced courier staggering down our driveway muttering something about "going to the gym more", but still with a smile on his face! :-)

Anyhow, the safe was well packaged and the supplied instructions cover all the different aspects of the safe's use. It came with a fixing kit, although if I remember, it's for use on concrete floors, so if (like me) you'll be using it on a wooden floor, you'll need to put a bit more though into where to position it.

Quite useful are the adjustable shelf and pull out compartment drawer, both of which can be removed if you don't need them - we use them both. It was a breeze to set up this safe and is very easy to use.

What more can I say apart from some users have mentioned that the safe may need airing from time to time. Personally, I'll keep my eye on that, but in the meantime, I've put one of those little silicone bags in mine in the hope that it'll help keep down any moisture levels inside the safe.

Obviously, I can't comment on the fire proof-ness of this safe... and hope I never have to.

All in all I'm very satisfied with this safe and it suits our needs perfectly.

Bought this safe due to the need to secure valuable documents, such as wills, passports, deeds and a few electronic storage devices, besides a few valuables for when we go away on holiday. The safe was easy to DIY install and is compact enough to put in a very unobtrusive place in the house. It appears very well made and gives me the reassurance I was looking for that, if the worst were to happen, at least the essentials would be saved. Recommended.

Easy to install and fixed to floor. Weight depends on size: this size manageable to lift even up stairs.Storage capacity also depends on size! This one takes A4 papers and hard drives in the main compartment plus small drawer for items such as keys, jewellery and credit cards.

The lock is electronic, requiring pressing buttons which beep on activation. Occasionally it misses a press and I have to repeat. Not sure if this is because I do not press hard enough. However, I have not been locked out yet.

My main criticism is the packaging. Buyers of safes obviously have valuables to protect, so a package delivered with "Safe" plastered over the box draws attention to this among the several handlers on route further compromised with the address on the label. I suggest that packaging should more discrete.

Had the safe for a few months now and am very satisfied with the purchase.

Manages to keep all my documents and cash safe as well as some smaller items. When fastened to the floor it is almost impossible to remove by an intruder.

Can be programmed with any length of code to make it almost impossible to guess. Had concerns that maybe documents would become damp but this has not proved to be the case.

Very happy with speed of delivery and communications from the company.

I would recommend this safe for a household rather than a business requiring larger capacity items to be stored.

The 'Safe' website gave plenty of guidance to identify which safe to choose. The safe was well packaged and delivered on the expected date and time. This safe has a great level of security and very easy to bolt to the wall or floor.

I found the safe to be a good size with plenty of room to store valuables eg: A4 size documents, Laptops, iPads, phones, external hard drives, also has a PVC tray draw with cups to keep your expensive jewelry, watches, passports, USB sticks, wallets etc in one convenient place.

The safe keypad was easy to program and easy use.

I would highly recommend this safe as it is reasonably priced and superbly built which gives me peace of mind that my valuables are all safely locked away.

FAQs (28)

» Ask Question   

 
I am interested in buying the FireStar Safe but like some of the reviews feel nervous about relying on the electronic lock. The plastic looks flimsy. How would I get access if the lock was maliciously damaged or it just failed?
Anonymous
Although an electronic lock cannot be considered 100% failure proof it is very unusual for a lock to fail. Problems generally experienced by electronic locks tend to be forgotten PIN codes and flat batteries. If you forget your code we can supply a unique master-reset code on production of a proof of purchase and the batteries are installed from the outside of the door and can easily be replaced should they go flat.

In the unlikely event of a failure a qualified locksmith would be required to open the safe. If this occurred during the warranty period the safe would be replaced if required.

We are thinking of buying this fire safe, please could you advise on the size/type of fixings that secure it to the floor, as we need to check with our premises that we'd be able to attach it without causing any damage.
Karen
The fixing bolts provided with this safe are called Expansion Bolts, with the dimensions - Length: 105mm and Diameter: 12mm. The bolt is designed to anchor against the material it is bolted to, the optimum being a solid concrete surface.

Is the safe fireproof even with the bolt holes in the bottom?
Jonathan, Devon
The safe arrives with a rubber plug inside each of the bolt holes in the bottom of the safe. This will ensure the safe is air tight and fire proof. The safe is designed to be installed to a solid concrete floor by using the fixing bolts included. Once installed correctly, the safe will be secured from theft and air tight to allow up to 60 minutes fire protection in up to 945° C heat.

I am looking to put the safe in our bedroom on the first floor. Can the safe be bolted to the floorboards? Or does it require to be installed into concrete?
Steven Cullum, Edinburgh
The safe ideally needs to be installed to a concrete or brick surface. Floorboards, unless fixing into the joist, are not strong enough. If you don't have a solid floor surface, you could consider a chemical (glue) installation.

Is there any reason I can't fit this safe in a cellar below ground level within a solid stone wall? The base would be secured into a concrete pad as you suggest and then I would fill all around the back and sides with expanding foam simply to offer more insulation. The cellar is dry and at a constant 12 degrees all year round. The hole to be fitted into is not near an outside wall and so is not prone to any external water.
Anonymous, Sheffield
Fitting the safe into the cellar is perfectly fine providing it is not subject to damp conditions. The FireStar Series comes prepared for floor fixing rather than to the wall due to the fire protection. Our advice is to install to a concrete floor.

How do you secure the safe in a house with wooden floors?
John, Glasgow
If wooden floor is your only option then you may want to try and find the wood joist which will give you a more secure fix. Alternatively you can use a chemical adhesive which will "glue" the safe into position permanently.

My floors are suspended timber floors in a new bungalow. (Chipboard over polystyrene and concrete beams beneath). Will they be acceptable for fixing the safe?
Mal, Lowestoft
It is imperative that the bolts are submerged into a concrete base this depends on the depth between the wood and the concrete void. However longer bolts can be purchased from DIY shops if needed.
