Tools and Hardware Reviews of First Alert 2087F Waterproof 1 Hour Fire Safe with Combination Lock, 0.94 Cubic Foot, Gray
Customer Review: Honeywell safe
Summary: 3 Stars
The safe is very heavy and a good size for the money. My only complaint has to do with the combination. The orginal combination was unreadable and hand written. (Typed would have been nice.) It is easier to use the key than to do the combination. Overall the safe is good compared to the cost.Customer Review: Buy at Lowes.com
Summary: 3 Stars
I just got this exact same safe at lowes for just under $110. And it's a pickup in town on my way to work. Worth saving $50 over, especially with poor shipment reviews! Buy this item at Lowes.com!!
It's not overpriced on Amazon, but check out Lowes!
Customer Review: Combination Code
Summary: 3 Stars
The safe is nice. We can't open it because the combination won't work. We even called the company and it was the same combination as on the safe. Still won't open. We just use the key.Customer Review: combo doesnt work
Summary: 2 Stars
The safe's combination did not work. I called Honeywell and waited 30 minutes for customer service so I gave up. Choose a different companyCustomer Review: easy to 'crack'
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this safe at Lowe's for a great price 108.00$, so no shipping hassels and no damage. It took a couple of times to understand the combination order to be able to open the safe, but I got it and it worked.
The most stark thing I noted though, was that after some practice I could open the safe without looking at the number dial. I just used the feel of the 'clicks' and 'stops' and understood the number of turns one needs to make in certain directions to open the safe. I have never owned a safe before and have never 'cracked' a safe before. I was amazed at how easy it was to learn to open it!! My concern is a burgler who only knows the instructions on page 2 of the 'Operation and Installation Guide' (which can be viewed online) and uses a little patience can be inside of one of these fairly quickly. With practice I have opened this one in about 15 seconds, without looking at the numbers. I have not tried to open a like safe with a different combination, but I feel that if given the opportunity I could actually open it. If you have the opportunity, try it on a safe of this brand and model.
1. I found there is some play in the numbers, one does not need to be exact when hitting a 'click' or 'dip', it just requires that you are close to it.
2. KEY POINT: Understand the minimum number of complete rotations one must make in between numbers.
3. Once past the minimum rotations feel and listen for the 'click', 'dip', or slight 'stop'.
3. The last number is the easiest to find. It seems as if there is a sloping hole that the dial drops into.
I do not write this so that burglers may know how to open your safe, but that you may know and try it for yourself to see that it is rather easy.
I am going to return this safe and take more time in choosing my next one. I bought a safe to protect my valuables and I absolutely do not feel that this one does the job of safely securing them. First Alert needs to to much better than this!!
