Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 2087F Waterproof 1 Hour Fire Safe with Combination Lock, 0.94 Cubic Foot, Gray
Customer Review: Decent Safe
Summary: 4 Stars
Received the safe well packaged and undamaged. Unfortunately it would not open. I was able to figure out the combination and use the over-ride key to turn the handle, but the door just wouldn't budge. I tried the 'butter knife' trick to no avail. Back she went.
Thanks to Amazon's terrific return policy I had a new one within a week, and it works fine. The combination takes more turns than I would prefer (use the directions in the manual with the combo. numbers on the tag), but for the half dozen times I'll probably open this up in a year, I'll use the key and keep the combination as a back-up. Besides, if a thief wants into this thing he's not going to fool with the combination lock or go searching your house for the key... he's either going to take a sledge hammer to it or carry it away.
As far as quality I think it is a solid safe. I like the plastic coating inside and out, and there is certainly steel underneath. It's probably not strong enough to thwart a determined thief, but will certainly make it much tougher on them. My main concern was for fire protection and a deterent for the not so determined thief. Pretty good bargain.
Customer Review: Good Safe
Summary: 4 Stars
The Safe came quick and at a good cost. Its mostly plastic but thats ok for paper work and small valuables. The only problem I have is that it has no way to be bolted to the ground. It wouldnt be a problem if it was a heavy safe (Less than 100 lbs). I'll just have to make some type of cage to bolt over it but for the price I paid, it will do.Customer Review: Good Safe - Wrong Combination
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a nice, heavy safe.
The method for opening with the combination given in the manual was contradictory to the method on the sticker, and I could not get it open either way. Called the manufacturer to verify the combination. Still could not get it open.
I opened the safe with the key and remove the plastic cover that protects the lock mechanism. I watched the mechanism as I dialed in the combination. Turns out that two of the numbers they gave were incorrect. Close, but incorrect. Now that I determined the correct combination, it is easy to open.
Customer Review: Good safe for my needs
Summary: 4 Stars
I did a Google search and found this safe available at [...] for $[...]. I ordered it on line and picked it up today at a Lowe's store. The safe was in perfect condition with no damage as reported by others. The locking system worked perfectly. Like some others, I bought the safe for safe storage of important documents, not necessarily for security, and it fits the bill. The amount of space in the safe is perfect for my needs. I made a good choice.Customer Review: Good, but the instruction...
Summary: 4 Stars
Looks good, haven't had chances to test it.
was confused of the instruction, such a
hard time to use the combination lock.
however, after spent two hours to
figure out, and it works fine.
