Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 2087F Waterproof 1 Hour Fire Safe with Combination Lock, 0.94 Cubic Foot, Gray
Customer Review: Very good safe
Summary: 5 Stars
This safe is mainly made of plastic, but the combination lock, 4 locking bolts and the internal gears (sounds like) are heavy-duty metal. There is a generous amount of room inside, unless you have a great deal of papers and other valuables to protect. I tried following the directions to open the safe door via the dial, but I could not until I found some better directions further back in the manual. I was able to open the safe. I memorized the combination, then practiced over and over again. After 1 day, I was able to open the safe every time, by memory. I can get into the safe, using the dial, in about 20 seconds. Read the directions. I would only use the keys in an emergency. If you do not learn how to use the combination and you should lose the keys, you will be locked out. Learn the combination and put the keys in a safe place away from the safe, not in the safe by any means. I recommend this safe; it is well-built.Customer Review: Safe

Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this item to protect my sensitive documents from fire and water, not necessarily from theft. One person can easily carry this safe and it does not come with any way to bolt it down. I am satisfied because I just wanted something to protect against fire since until now I had the stuff in a random drawer (this also helps as to not losing any papers since they are in there). Even my diploma fit in it on a diagonal (after removing the shelf, which is pretty flimsy plastic).
Before ordering I was concerned after reading reviews here that it came dented, busted, or damaged in some other way. I did not want to deal with this sort of hassle, so I found a better way. Searching on froogle found me the best price on walmart.com (with MASS tax still lower than anywhere online by a few bucks). Free site to store shipping so I was able to inspect it before accepting it. Anyway I thought I would mention this since it removed the danger of receiving a damaged product and having to pay for shipping back. The packaging (I do not know if this is walmart packaging or from honeywell direct) was quite good. The retail box contains very limited Styrofoam around the safe, but this retail box was in a bigger cardboard box with sizable chunks of styrofoam on the corners and heavy duty tape and staples to hold it all together. It came entirely intact with no scratches, dents, or holes.
Still not sure about the manual, with different people here saying different things. There is a sticker on the safe with a number on it and the manual says the safe-specific combination is on the inside back cover of the manual. None of the three language manuals have a combination in them although they do have a template for a combination and the serial number/model number/key number in them. I used the combination on the sticker on the safe to open it the first time, and then since there was nothing in the manual I closed the safe and then opened it with the same combination again (someone here had said the sticker combo was for first time opening only). So it seems that for me the sticker combo is the real combo.
Oh and yes the safe stinks from inside upon receipt, it does have a drying bag in it though like shoes do for what thats worth.
