Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 2037F Fire and Water File Chest, 0.62 Cubic Foot, Gray
Customer Review: Do not underestimate this thing...
Summary: 5 Stars
This thing is a monster. I guarantee you will underestimate it's size and weight. This is not the safe in which granny should put her savings bonds, stock certificates and anything she might want to mess with more than once every few months, mainly because granny will want to be able to move it and will likely break her hip in the process. Plan on putting it somewhere where it will not be in the way, but is easily accessible - this isn't a safe that is designed to be carted around the house every other day, which is great for me because I got it to replace my $45 per year safe deposit box that I went to once or twice a year.
I am pleasantly surprised with this safe, and would recommend it to anyone who has to protect, among other things, full size papers without having to fold or bend them, and is not needing to get in it on a daily basis. If you need something for daily use, find something smaller.
Customer Review: Second One Was A-OK
Summary: 5 Stars
First unit shipped in it's store display carton without any packing and received badly damaged - it is heavy and obviously had been dropped on just about every corner, breaking the outer cover and exposing insulation.
Called Amazon, they wanted me to return USPS before sending new replacement unit. Explained this case weighted almost 40 Lbs. and no way was I shipping USPS and requested a UPS or FedEx prepaid shipping label. It was determined at that point to throw it in the garbage as it was going to cost more to ship it than I paid for it.
Amazon sent me replacement unit, well packed and received in perfect condition. Can't say whether it is actually fireproof and hope I never find out, but it is well constructed and well insulated, and did I mention heavy?
Customer Review: Great product, but Amazon shipping process needs improvement
Summary: 5 Stars
Ordered this on the strength of the reviews here, and it meets all expectations (appears to be sturdy enough to be fire/waterproof, but as reviewers have said, kind of hard to test that). But though perfectly happy with the actual product, Amazon's packaging leaves something to be desired (it arrived with top corner completely crushed in, when it was dropped even the plastic casing was fractured). Re-reading many of the Honeywell and SentrySafe reviews, I've just noticed that many customers have also received damaged safes. I'm sending this back to Amazon and will instead buy one from the local Lowe's. Amazon has to pack heavy items more securely.
Customer Review: Exactly as described
Summary: 5 Stars
I upgraded to this safe from one of the smaller flat kinds. I am so glad I did. This safe has room for many hanging folders, a few boxes of checks, and so on. This can fit all of my most important papers instead of trying to cram as much as possible in a smaller one.
It is HEAVY. Really heavy. It doesn't have a handle, and it's not easy to move around. It had a small dent in the corners when it was delivered because of the heft, but I wasn't so concerned about that. It comes with two keys. I store one off-site in case there really is a fire.
Customer Review: Not too Big, Not too Small...Just Right!
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this to store important documents. There really is no way to tell if it will work as advertised unless it's in a fire and a flood so I can't comment on that. But it is very heavy because it's lined with concrete which gives it it's protection capabilites. You can tell when the lid is shut that it is a good seal. It locks and unlocks flawlessy and the lid reopens without any trouble.
It is large enough to fit many letter size documents and small enough to fit in our closet. Overall very happy with the purchase
