Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 2037F Fire and Water File Chest, 0.62 Cubic Foot, Gray
Customer Review: Leaky waterproof chest
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this fire and water proof file chest in late Nov 2009. We have birth, death and marriage certificates as well as wills, SS cards and other valuable papers that we intended to put in the chest once we had them organized. In the interim we only kept the purchase info, brochures and some Christmas cards in the chest. Well we are finally organized. I pulled the box from an above grade location in our dry furnace room,opened it up and found the contents saturated with water and smelling of mold. I have no idea where the water came from but I shudder at the thought of what would have happened to all those important documents had they been in the chest. Now I'll have to see if I can find a chest that REALLY offers protection.Customer Review: Lock completely stopped working and keys no longer work
Summary: 1 Stars
This box worked fine for a awhile. Recently, the lock on it stopped functioning and neither of the two keys work. All my personal information including my checks and birth certificate are inside. This should NOT have happened.Customer Review: Lock fell off when I unboxed it
Summary: 1 Stars
This product would have gotten 0 stars if I could. When I took it out of the box and tried to use the key some plastic piece fell off and the whole lock fell apart.
Don't buy this product. The Sentry is much higher quality and won't fall apart.
Customer Review: Missing Keys
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased not one, but TWO safes. Imagine my surprise when BOTH were missing keys. One, okay, snafu at the packaging department. Two, much bigger problem. Yes, both safes were missing keys. I can't rate the safe, since I'm returning it, but I'm happy to give Honeywell a black eye for this.Customer Review: Nice Safe, Poor Packaging
Summary: 4 Stars
I really like this safe, although I agree with the others, it really isn't a safe as the locking mechanism wouldn't keep out much more than a two year old. But, the case feels super sturdy and I think it would do the job in a fire. It is VERY heavy, but I kind of expected that.
Now, for the packaging... First, as I was opening the product box (i.e. not the brown shipping box), I noticed that it had been opened and re-taped at some point. When I opened the safe, everything inside was damp. Ick. Then, I turned it around and noticed one corner was smashed. As heavy as this thing is, dropping it square on one side could cause this kind of damage and Amazon just tosses it into a cardboard box with a little crumpled paper around it and sends it off. This packaging is not sufficient.
