Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 3035DF Digital Security Box, Black/Silver
Customer Review: Very Pleased
Summary: 5 Stars
I just got this security box, but so far I am very pleased with it. It appears to be well made and I do not have any problems with the digital lock. I think the problem the previous reviewer had was the key is an "overide". You have to turn the key to the lock position and then the digital lock will function. If the key is in the unlock position, it overides the digital lock and it won't lock. They even give you a black plastic cap to cover up the key hole, because once you lock the box with the key, you shouldn't have to use it again, except in the case of an emergencyCustomer Review: not very secure
Summary: 2 Stars
This box looks nice, and can hold quite a bit of stuff. I also really enjoyed the electronic lock, until I lost my keys and the batteries died. However, I read another review that said it was extremely easy to break in to. So I gave it a shot. I had never attempted to pick a lock before this, but with a few minutes of searching the internet...and two paperclips...I picked the lock with very minimal effort. So if security is what you're after, this isn't the way to go. If you just want things to appear to be in a safe place, it's a good option.Customer Review: Bulky, Weak metal , and Electronic lock doesn't work
Summary: 2 Stars
I got this safe for my truck. I wanted it to be a bit smaller, but it is what it is.
So it sits in the back seat on the floor. After being in there 2 weeks, the electronic lock function no longer works - I have to carry the key all the time. I reset the lock code, and it accepts the code, but it won't let the lock turn anyhow.
It also seems to me the lock or the lid are mighty thin. Overall a huge disappointment.
On the plus side, it does hold a lot of stuff.
Customer Review: Battery Drainer
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the box just to keep the kids out of stuff that they shouldn't get into. It does as advertized and works good for why I bought it, most of the time. My one complaint is the battery life. If you plan on storing things in it that you might want to remove in a hurry, you should plan on changing the batteries at least avery 6 months. I use it pretty infrequently, but twice I have been unable to open the box due to dead batteries. Both times I didn't really want to take the time to hunt down the keys.Customer Review: Great for locking up stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife is an ex-drug user so we use this to keep pills in. The keys stay hidden, and the five digit combination is more than sufficient. I don't know what anybody else wants locked up, but the great thing about this safe is that you can leave it in plain sight and easily access it without having to dig up a key. Performance of the keypad is flawless, and the led fades when the battery runs low and needs replacing. This indication is especially useful because we use the safe every day
