After three burglaries, the police advised us: "Get a German Shepherd Dog or a safe". We decided on a belt-and-braces approach and got both. The dog is not as frightening as we had hoped, but our Phoenix Lynx SS1171k safe is likely to deter any ne'er-do-well. Even though it is one of the smaller safes it is a solid, chunky affair, and far too heavy for anyone to run off with it. We went for a mechanical lock and key rather than an electronic lock, because we felt there was less to go wrong. And, despite its bulk, our new safe has plenty of room for spare cash and valuables. We would tell you where we have mounted it - but that's a secret!

Having spent quite some time planning and deliberating the right size suitable for my requirements, and importantly the dimensions for where it will be positioned I decided on the Lynx SS1171K. Perfect size and feels reassuringly solid and although moderate in size, has a real weight to it even before bolting to anything making it slightly difficult to move around. The lock mechanism is silky smooth and has operated beautifully every day since purchase and the interior shelf makes organising valuables inside easy to see and retrieve in use. Overall I am very happy with the safe and is very high quality for the price.

I’ve bought small safes before but by far this is the best yet!! The weight alone is incredible! We joked and said we’d like to see someone try and run up the road with this...lol. But on a serious note, it’s so well made and for such a small safe it really does give you peace of mind. Would definitely buy one of these again.

Very robust product we had A burglary in our restaurant and after they ripped open our older safe with a screw driver (still have no idea how they many to accomplish this as it was a larger heavier safe )we wanted a safe that was strong but not so large so we could hide it a little better.after looking online on several sites I noticed how reasonable in price these were from safe.co.uk.very easy to navigate through a large selection of different safes on there we picked one out that was under £150 easy to install myself we opted to bolting it through walls and floor with the large screws that it came with.my only complain is that it only came with two keys and when I contacted them they said £45 a key and we needed 2

I was specifically looking for a key operated safe that would fit into a space in a wardrobe and this model suited those requirements perfectly.

I wanted to bolt the safe to the wall and holes in the rear allowed me to do that. There is also an option to fix it through the base as well.

This model is well made, has a good specification and is reasonably priced.
