I bought this safe with high expectations and to be honest I was left very disappointed. Having done my research this safe seemed to tick all the boxes with regard to my requirements. The size was just about right to accommodate what I wanted to keep safe. The cash rating was higher than required and the locking method/ system was just what I wanted. The most important thing was that it was made by Yale, a company which I knew to be a household name with a good reputation .

With this in mind i was expecting a quality product, how wrong could I be.

The build quality was of the lowest quality, I have a sheet metal worker for 32 years so I know good workmanship when I see it. The door and locking system worked fine, but the case was poorly constructed. The welding on the rear was missing in places as it was on one part or the other , and not done on the correct weld setting as it was a " Cold Weld". The case also bulged on either side where it had not been folded/ bent correctly, and the whole construction was not square ( at 90 degrees ).

The location the safe went in was a fully sealed and enclosed area, with only the front door visible, I had to use an angle grinder on the rear of the case to get to fit.

Inside the safe was covered with some cheap material which was poorly glued in , and there was glue on the inside also.

Therefore given that it was a Yale safe and the build quality was poor I would not recommend this safe. The only reason I did not return it was I did not have the time it as it would have held me up and I could not be doing with the hassle.

Perfect safe for home or office use, good internal covering, shelf, size and has a led lighting internally which is awesome. Installed it using coach bolts supplied through joists - perfect this thing is not moving ever! Digital key entry is easy to use and battery life good. i.e. my wife shows the safe opening every night to my 7 month old girl she is captivated by the blue display keypad sound and door opening as its installed at eye level in a cupboard. Light goes off a little too soon - could be adjusted to go on for another 20 seconds... but i'm being picky here lets face it. Its all great really.

Just what i was looking for fits perfect in my hidding space.Easy to use and the light is a good touch with plenty of room for my needs .Nice and sturdy.

It was not very clear in the product info about options to attach the safe to a wall or floor. However happy to see that there were holes in the bottom and the back allowing flexibility in fixing to a wall or floor. Exactly the product I was looking for. Different shelf positions would be good

Easy to operate; nice to have spare keys; well made and stores a range of documents. I feel better now passports, deeds etc are tucked away! Plenty of room for home use.
