Tools and Hardware Reviews of Neiko Fit Anywhere Digital Electronic Safe Box for Home, Office, Boat/RV - 550 Cubic Inches - Gray Color
Customer Review: Great for your wallet
Summary: 4 Stars
This safe isn't fire proof or water proof and it doesn't take much to get into it as it has a bypass key with about three pins, plus the key number is stamped onto the safe so anyone can call the manufacturer and have a key mailed out to them. Basically, this is an inexpensive version of a hotel room safe. It's not as fancy as a hotel room safe as the bolts are manually operated, not motorized and the code can only be changed when a button inside the safe is pushed, not by entering the new pin to lock as would be the case with a hotel room safe. Plus the safes in the hotels I've stayed at have power outlets inside the safe so that you could charge your cell phone while keeping it in the safe, you would have to cut a hole in this safe to mount a power outlet.
What this safe is good for is to put your wallet, cash and checkbook into whenever you are at home. I got it for this very purpose because I discovered that my girlfriend was slipping my atm card out of my wallet, making withdrawals and slipping it back into my wallet.
You may want to sand off the lock number from the safe and if you are going to buy this safe, buy it from Harbour Freight Tools where it's only $35.
You'll need a real mechanical safe to keep the bypass keys in.
It would be better if the bypass lock was an interchangeable core lock so that you could install a high security lock core. Even better would be a purely mechanical combination lock so that a bypass key wouldn't be necessary. The keypad and the turn handle are plastic and mounted on a plastic piece on the front, it's still a steel door behind it but it would've been more reassuring if it had been mounted on steel instead of plastic.
It was a little tricky bolting it to the back wall of the master bathroom linen closet when I installed it on the shelf but that was because the drill wouldn't quite fit into the safe and still reach one of the mounting holes. The studs weren't conveniently located so if I wanted it in the corner of the closet, I had to bolt it to the drywall with toggle bolts. Fortunately, the new toggle bolts can hold 300lbs on drywall and you still have the mounting holes in the bottom of the safe to screw it to the shelf itself. The bolts that come with the safe are for mounting to concrete so you still have to go to the hardware store to find some. The instructions say to use #8 screws, the #8 screw head would pass right through the mounting holes so you would either need washers or use at least a #12 screw. I ended up using the largest drywall toggle anchor mount kit that I could find which used 1/4 inch bolts and required 1/2 inch holes be drilled in the drywall, finding a 1/2 inch drill bit for less than $10 was a challenge. Of course, you can always pour some of the expanding plastic used instead of concrete to set fence posts, into the wall to firmly secure the drywall anchors.
Only serious problem is that many inexpensive digital safes have a design flaw in how weak the solenoid spring is in that a solid hit on the safe door while you turn the handle will bounce the plunger out of the way of the bolt mechanism. Just search for "How to open a safe with a potato" and you'll see videos on how to bump these safes open. The way mine is mounted, you really can't get a good angle to bump the safe open.
Note that I paid $34.99 for this safe and it's sometimes on sale for less.
