Tools and Hardware Reviews of GE AccessPoint 001859 Stor-A-Key Locking Key Case, Gray
Customer Review: Frankly, Don't Waste Your Money
Summary: 1 Stars
As other reviewers have noted, for an item intended for a security application, this keybox isn't just flimsy, but borders on fragile. I was able to break it open in less than a second with my bare hands. As thieves tend to look for easy targets, this box won't even slow them down.
I take that back -- a potential thief will waste several seconds, laughing. Then your car or your things in the car are history.
If the manufacturer made it in metal, with close tolerances and a weather seal, I'd buy it. But although it looks tough and capable in the photographs, this is nothing more that a novelty item for a gumball machine.
Customer Review: Did this pass product review?
Summary: 1 Stars
It is plastic and if someone really wanted it contents it would be easily invaded but that is a trivial problem compared to the combination defect in design. Every other small combination lock I know requires that it be OPEN before you can change the combination. This make design sense as if it were closed (or locked) to change the combination anyone can change the combination and get the contents. Yep that is what this unit does. It requires that the unit be CLOSED to change the combination. This means that anyone can come to this "lock box" and while it is closed change the combination and get to the contents inside. It boggles the mind.Customer Review: Not all that secure
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought the AccessPoint Stor-A-Key to hide an apartment key out of sight. The magnetic strip is useful.
Last month I went to change the key and while the door was open, the combo reset lever moved without me knowing it and reset the lock to who knows what combination. Now I can't get it all the way closed or open. I am about 1/2 way going through all 1000 combinations to get it open again. I will probably just break off the top by hand and pull out the key.
This item is a false sense of security at best. Look at the Master 5400D or 5401D as a better option.
Customer Review: Won't fit newer keys
Summary: 1 Stars
As another reviewer pointed out, this product is a nice idea but poorly executed. I understand this is not a high security product, but it offers extremely minimal security because it is made out of plastic, thin metal would be better.
A more critical design flaw is it doesn't fit many modern car keys. My Honda Element (not a high dollar car) key will not fit in it, even if you remove the foam insert. The key is too long.
Nice try GE. I appreciate the effort, but take it back to the drawing board and make something really usable, even if it costs twice as much.
Customer Review: Dont bother
Summary: 1 Stars
Tried and sent back several of these. Dials are difficult to move. Neither the first nor its replacement would work. The second time I think I just received someone else's return. Save your time and money and purchase the masterlock version. Its a bit more, but can hold modern car keys. Much better quality
