Pros

Quality safe, comes complete with hold down bolts. Batteries mount on outside so can be changed if you accidentally let them go completely flat. Comes with neat slide out trinkets tray and adjustable shelf too.

Cons

Only thing, we've added felt to the otherwise unprotected internal surfaces to stop it scratching any jewellery put inside. It will hold unfolded A4 documents too, but folders even only a few mm larger than A4 are too big.

Pros

This safe is perfectly fit for my needs. It has a solid built quality and has sufficient space inside.

Cons

The coded lock system is plastic and is placed on the front which can easily be sabiotaged. My only concern is that if this is damaged there would be no way to access the inside of the safe.

Pros

Useful shelf & tray.

Other than minor issue with depth of interior (see "Con" below), plenty of space for papers and computer media.

No problems (so far) with setting & using the combination lock.

Cons

Could do with being 5-10mm longer from front to back ; only just takes A4 sheets.

may not be feasible

The instructions need to explain that there is no coded sequence for locking the closed safe, you just shut the door and rotate the handle till it clicks. This is different from most hotel safes where you have to enter the code to lock it as well as to open it.
