UNRELIABLE. I have had two replacements due to the electronic key pad failing. The original failed within a month of starting to use it. The first replacement arrived with exactly the same fault as the unit being replaced. Helix the manufacturer tried to claim it had been fully quality checked before being shipped. So what does that tell you . . . ?

This is a really solid piece of equipment and it took me a while to find a strong enough wall to mount it.

The instructions were clear and made it easy to set up our own numeric code.

The bolt action lock feels really strong and secure and there is a key over-ride (including spare key) for when you manage to forget the code.

The numeric keypad is clear and easy to use.

I was not terribly impressed with the key fobs supplied with this product; the rings are very weak and it is difficult to get the labels out.

Overall - really pleased.

What a fantastic product. It is excellent value for money and has made our life so much easier. We are private landlords and now have a portfolio of propoerties all with their associated bundles of keys. We had previously been keeping these in our main safe in a box. In addition we have a number of vehicles plus our keys and spare keys to the children's houses. This was causing a major headache and all of the key cabinets that I looked at in local stores such as B&Q or Screwfix did not seem substanial enough. A friend recommended Safe.co.uk. I browsed their site and found several key cfabinets that met my needs. Compact enough to place in my home office but substantial enough to resist burglars. The Helix cabinet teasily takes even the large bunches of keys that we have for some properties and enables us to store all our keys safely whilst still giving us easy accessibility. An added bonus was that now we alkways know where our vehicle keys are. We use this cabinet every day and it is proving its worth all the time. I thoroughly recommend it.

One small criticism - the opening handle is not easy to use when trying to open the safe. There is no grip to it.
