Tools and Hardware Reviews of Honeywell 2072 1.00 Cubic Foot Anti-Theft Shelf Safe with Digital Lock
Customer Review: Not bad for the money. But quality just "okay"
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this safe for my daughter to keep her valuable items safe at college. However, I don't think I will by anymore Honeywell products. I was disappointed with both the sloppy packaging that Honeywell did with their product and the actual assembly and poor quality assurance testing.
Poor Packaging: The batteries, battery cover, keys and hardware was allowed to tumble around the inside of the safe rather than using even a simple cardboard insert to secure those items.
Poor assembly: The wiring pin connectors were put together so poorly that one of the leads came out of the connector (at the time of assembly) that prevented the new owner from ever being able to reset the combination to something different from the factory default. Had I not had the experience of being able to diagnose and repair electronic equipment, we would have missed the deadline of getting this to my daughter's school 1500 miles away.
Poor Quality assurance: To verify that the safe was operating properly, it would have been extremely simple for Honeywell have a person push the reset button to verify that the safe was operating properly. It was painfully obvious that the safe was slapped together and never completely tested. Something as simple as even the mat that covers the bottom of the safe doesn't even fit properly.
Conclusions: Given the discount and sale price, it was not a complete loss. I was able to open up the internal electronic lock system and repair it to make the safe usable, but Honeywell has forever lost this customer and possibly others who might otherwise have considered buying a Honeywell safe because it carries the "Honeywell" name. Don't be fooled, the name mean nothing.
The best part of this experience was the great service from Amazon. I got the safe much earlier than expected even with using their super saver shipping. I had a narrow window of time to get the safe in time before my daughter's departure half way across the country and amazon's great service made sure I got the safe in a timely manner.
Customer Review: really good safe
Summary: 5 Stars
it is a really nice safe.you enter a code in the keyboard then you turn the key to open it. alot of people dont like that you have to turn a key and type in a code but i do. it is really spacious inside i love that it comes with an extra shelf to put more stuff on. you would want to bolt it to the ground if you dont want it carried away (pretty light). but i do have a complaint its light doesnt help at all but overall its a good safeCustomer Review: junk

This safe worked fine for a few months. I had only opened the safe about 8-10 times and then the keypad stopped working. Replaced batteries etc. I then had to use the override key. Then the key got stuck and won't come out. So now the safe is totally useless. I guess you get what you pay for. I'm going to purchase a higher quality safe that opens with a combination lock. Please don't waste your money purchasing this safe.Customer Review: unhappy

the safe itself is ok but the digital lock material is junk it took several phone calls to tech help and customer service to get every part relaced until the digital lock mechanism would work very lucky it has a key override I would not advise anyone to purchase this item unless you are capable of electrical repair I would never buy it againCustomer Review: MOUNTING IS DECEPTIVE WITH NEWER MODELS
Summary: 1 Stars
I purchased a 2072 safe over a year ago and it could be mounted to a wall (four holes in the back of the unit) or shelf or the floor (four more holes in the bottom of the unit) securely with a nut and bolt system. I just purchased a new 2072 unit and found that the newer unit only had four holes in the BOTTOM of the safe. Further the mounting system is such that you can only mount to a shelf (so no floor or no wall mounting, which contradicts how this safe is advertised on Amazon and on [...] ) with the screws provided. And the kicker is, if you don't put your torque wrench in the safe, all someone would have to do is unbolt your safe from your shelf to walk away with all your valuables. Also, the door of this safe is not as heavy or secure feeling as my old safe.
The bottom line, I would no longer recommend this safe to anyone, ESPECIALLY if you planned on mounting it to a wall. But even if you mounted it to a shelf I don't feel the design is that secure. The older model was WAY better. This unit seems way cheaper and not worth the money.
Buyer beware.
