Good safe for the money

By PickyGuy (Omaha, NE USA)

I did a bit of research before deciding to buy this safe. I've received and and placed in in the house and I'm very pleased with it.

This is a heavy safe (182 lbs) and it takes two strong people to move it. The weight is an advantage because only a very strong burglar will be able to remove it by himself.

It only has a 1 hour fire rating (for paper, not electronic media) and while I'd like a longer rating, I didn't want to pay much more than I did.

This safe is also "waterproof" and I imagine that this is as important as fireproof.

The digital codes are very easy to set and reset. This unit also comes with two keys which will open the safe (obviously you will want to hide the keys away far from the safe).

This safe is larger than most inexpensive safes at 2 cubic feet and I don't feel that it is too large.

It looks to be well made and it's backed by a large company that can help you if ever you lock the safe, forget the combination, lose the keys as you can still call Honeywell and give them the serial number. After some length of interrogation, I think that they can help you open the safe.

Lastly, you can spend thousands or tens of thousands on a safe that is burglar-proof. I didn't want to go that far. I think I made a good choice.

Fireproof/Waterproof Honeywell 2087D Safe

By Dewey E. Hagan (Langley, WA United States)

This is an excellent product but unfortunately the packaging is about a one star rating. The first safe was badly damaged upon receipt. Amazon quickly rectified the problem by letting me return the damaged product ant no cost to me. They also shipped me a replacement product immediately.

The second safe also had minimal damage which did not affect the functionality. It was clear to me that Honeywell does not provide enough packaging to protect this heavy product. As a result through normal handling damage occurs.

After receiving the safe I had to call Honeywell customer service because the safe was locked and there were no instructions included that told what to do if the safe was locked. Honeywell gave excellent support and the representative stayed on the line until I was totally confident on setting up the safe.

The setup was a snap and the operation of entry and closing the safe went without incident. I was pleased with the size as I can place letter size documents either in a standup or laydown position. The key holder and the adjustable shelf is also a plus. I'd recommend this safe to anyone wishing for a digital safe combination. The lighted dial really makes entering the combination easy.

Great Buy

By Gregory Brown (Barrington, RI)

I was in real need of a safe for college next year and after looking around I thought this would be a good buy. It had all the features I was looking for and at a price significantly less then the competition. After reading the buyer reviews about broken and damaged safes I was a little concerned but I decided to go ahead and make the purchase.

Two days later the safe arrived and it was in perfect condition. The safe was sent directly by the manufacturer and it was packed very carefully within its box. With the type of packaging they used I don't know how it could have been damaged.

I don't know if they changed their shipping methods after reading the earlier reviews but I can assure you that they are doing a great job now. I would highly recommend this safe to anyone.

How Safes Factor In Home Security

Most of the valuable items that people have are small enough to fit in safes, making a safe an appropriate accessory that every home should have. Documents such as hand-signed wills, rare stamps, cards, and other collectibles are just some of the small yet valuable items you may find more comfortable to have in safes rather than lying around exposed in your house.

Different Types of Safes for Home Security

Safes are available in a wide range of sizes so you are sure to find one that suits your needs. Many people find small wall safes useful, as they offer not only the added protection of thick steel, but can be hidden behind paintings, in a stairwell, or some other place that would be difficult to locate. Some people even choose to install their safes in the floor.

Safes are also available in other sizes, ranging from those the size of desk drawer to large ones the size of an entire room. Those that fall in the latter category are not used solely as bank vaults, but in some cases are constructed as panic rooms. Smaller safes can be used to store valuables such as money and jewelry, while larger ones can store much larger items such as guns.

There is also a wide range of materials used in the construction of safes, from simple hard plastic to those made using titanium alloy pieces an inch thick. Walls made using the latter material are not only close to impenetrable, they also protect against fire. Thick walls do not provide complete protection, however, as a large fire will cause the interior of the safe to heat up enough to melt jewelry and combust paper.

Some safes, instead of being constructed so as to be impenetrable, take advantage of camouflage instead. Known as "can safes", these safes, while far from being impenetrable, are disguised as regular household items that nobody would suspect contained valuables. If you do make use of such safes, however, you should not tell too many people about them, as word has a way of spreading to unsavory ears.

Innovative Features Of Modern Safes

Some of the more modern models feature computer-integration or are electronic, and can be programmed such that they can only be accessed at certain times of the day. This helps to prevent kids from figuring out the combination and getting into your valuables. Electronic safes can also be equipped with modern safety features such as fingerprint readers. This is useful because it removes the need for a password or numerical combination.

Regardless of what type of size and security you require, you are sure to find safes that suit your needs.
