Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 3035DF Digital Security Box, Black/Silver
Customer Review: For a Specific Use
Summary: 3 Stars
Your not going to use this item to deter or stop a burglar. It's just not heavy duty enough and even if you did attach it to something with a cable, it could be pried open quickly by a professional. What it is great for is to deter and stop teenagers, roommates, etc from plying through personal items, pharmacueticals etc. Not as much for security but control. Great for home usage, and maybe your car but would not be that convenient for travel.
The only problems I have had is that I slammed the cover too hard by accident and it reset the combination and I had to use a key to get in. I've been more careful and it's been fine. Otherwise a fairly good product for the price.
Customer Review: The Portable Safe!
Summary: 1 Stars
Jeff Foxworthy used to tell a joke about his wife buying him a portable safe. He said that it was a great innovation which allowed thieves to break into your safe at their leisure from the comfort and security of their den. He should have used a picture of this product.
This unit is sturdy enough to avoid cursory break-ins. But it is so small and light, anyone can just steal the box with your valuables in it. There is no cable lock to secure it to something larger or heavier (like a desk or bed). The handle is flimsy, so there is no way to add one without drilling holes. If you buy this, you are only buying the illusion of security.
Customer Review: Adequate for my purposes
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this box for keeping handy "minor" items like my file drawer key, etc. I wouldn't characterize it as a very "safe" box for valuables, but for my purposes of keeping out inquisitive kids and nosey babysitters it's fine. The knob is made of plastic, the locking tab is a pretty thin piece of metal. I read another reviewer's difficulty programming the electronic lock -- that may be because the printed pamphlet instructions were incorrect it seemed. It directed the user to input the code then wait a few seconds, when in fact the proper directions (printed on a sticker on the underside of the lid) indicated you input the code twice in a row.Customer Review: NOT A SAFE-BEWARE
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this to keep prescription medications in and thought it was perfect. Had problems with the code setting even doing it the way the sticker says, but finally got it. This week I has a 3 bottles of medications come up missing (I know who took them) and couldn't figure out how. I am very diligent about keeping it locked at all times. Finally figured out that the key lock opens with GM car keys. The lock still works with the regular key also. I don't know if it was always like that or was jammed somehow but I am very disappointed as you can imagine. So please beware if you plan to keep valuables in this. Get a real safe!!Customer Review: Great solution for a nosey roommate!
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this freshmen year in college after some dorms in my building were broken into and wallets hidden in draws were taken along with prescription pill bottles.
But it really came in handy when I got a roommate who had no perception of personal space. Its large enough to put things like a large wallet your passport and prescription bottles in. Yet small enough to hide in a large draw or throw in an overnight bag.
I have two problems with it. One, the key lock looks like it could be easily broken with a screw driver. Two it looks like it would melt in any sorta of heat.
