I was initially prompted with the thought that I really need to store important documents safely in the event of the unthinkable, a house fire. The utter inconvenience of losing very important documents, policies and certificates would be a real pain.
I considered my needs then spent a good length of time searching the brand leaders, what was on offer and the reviews posted.
Fire safety, size, weight and keyless became my prime factors.
The Yale extra large safe isn't overly large, but plenty large enough to store documents, Notebook/tablet, HDD's and photographic equipment with room to spare. It's heavy but manageable to self install and bolting to the floor is straight forward.
The illuminated key pad is faultless, just rest your fingers on it and it quickly springs into life. The combination options are varied and flexible giving one choices, which is a bonus.
We are extremely pleased and satisfied with this purchase, for us it ticks all the boxes and we now have 'peace of mind'

The digital keypad system can be programmed with multiple passwords and also single use passwords making it much more versatile than a key operated lock.
The build quality is excellent, it is very easy to use and comes with everything you need to fix it in place.
The large size is very heavy. I know it's supposed to be heavy, but just make sure you have a friend on standby to help install it.
Slightly cheap feeling internal shelves.

This product is excellent. Once set up, the ease of access is good and the internal volume is very practical. Critically it allows A4 files and folders to stand up and therefore be easily accessible. It was delivered on time and as promised. Would recommend for home or small office use.

I have bought 3 of these for our various sites because I liked the first one so much. Good size for two cash tins and easy to program.

Very pleased with the product, really surprised by how heavy it is, no one is going to walk away with it, even if it's not bolted down

Impressed with the safe all round except the touch screen! Took me half hour the other day to get it open, I thought it could be the batteries but wasn’t. Unfortunately let’s it down and wouldn’t recommend

The Yale Extra Large Fireproof Safe was a replacement for a dial manual access safe. Slightly larger storage capacity which has allowed more document storage. Almost the same footprint as the previous safe. Ideal as a home security safe. Easy storage. Compact for its capacity. Advice from The Safe Company was very helpful. Recommended!
