Looked a good safe from the reviews so ordered one. Delivery was very quick and there was no signs on the outer box that showed it was a safe it was of course heavy so be aware. Got it screwed to the floorboards using my own screws and large washers despite fixings supplied. After all that I noticed the nice led lights kept flickering and despite attempts to cure the problem I couldn't so a phone call to safe shop resulted in having to get it replaced. That was done on a day to suit me.

The second safe arrived and was swapped luckily all the holes I had made in the walls and floor accommodated the replacement safe. All worked well now. Set my own number which is 41432678...only kidding it's not but it's an 8 digit code which is good.

Only downside is it won't fit a box file unless you take out the shelf it's a shame the shelf can't be adjustable which many people have said in reviews but obviously no one that matters reads them.

The light stays on for a short time when the door swings open so I bought a battery operated magnetic led light I switch on to give me the light I need.

All in all very happy my things are safe I would recommend to anyone. To safe shop read your reviews and tell Yale what their customers are saying. Sort out that shelf.

The safe was exactly as described - 2mm sheets all round except for the 4mm door and door surround. My impression is that it would take a long time to smash your way in (and smash all the contents) with a sledge hammer. Using an electic grinder to cut around the door bolts may work (of course, I have not tried), but without extreme measures like these, I think this safe should be considered pretty, um, safe. A typical burglar without equipment would not make off with your goodies if they were locked in a properly bolted down safe like this. When delivered, the safe was empty, not full of gold like I hoped.

Good capacity.

Very easy to set door code.

Interior light is a nice touch.

Good to have two spare keys instead of just one.

Looks smart.

Well built.

It's heavy.(It's a safe...what do you expect!)

Cannot really find any faults,I'm very pleased with it and would certainly recommend this model.

The light is very helpful.

I like hearing the solid clunk sound as it locks.

Sound on or off option is useful.

Sufficient space for A4 papers, laptops etc.

I wish the display tilted upwards slightly to save me getting on my hands and knees to read the numbers.

The numbers don't always register first time on the keypad. I am unable to push them as quickly as I would like to.

Good value for money piece (when it arrived and it was very delayed!) The 1 shelf is poorly positioned for my needs but possibly works for others. It would be good if it were a little more flexible.

The Yale Certified Safe Professional 520A is a good spacious safe with keys, keypad and interior shelf. The key pad is relatively easy to set, open and close. The safe was bought for our home use to store a fireproof bag with important documents etcetera.

The safe has to be secured / fixed to the floor or wall. 4 bolts are provided which are a bit tricky to tighten up under the floorboards. There should be more specific information on installation provided. Apart from the tricky bolt process I am very happy with this safe and it is good value for money.

I wanted to write it does exactly what it says on the tin but then that would be inaccurate. This is a sturdy, strong unit that has professional build quality stamped through it. Easy to secure, use bringin with it a confidence. I have attached hooks, the sticky backed ones to store keys and that would be a thought when manufacturer improvements are designed. Love the internal light too as the previous safe had none. To sum up. Great value for money. Speedy delivery, well packaged and does exactly what it says on the leaflet. Keeps precious things totally safe. Thanks.
