Gardall Horizontal Microwave Safe

4 Stars for product. It seems solid and works as advertised. Didn't give it 5 stars as I felt the included documentation could have been more better. I would give Wayfair 5 stars for handling the transaction as it arrived very quickly and they had the best price around!

Shipping was within 7 days. No damage. It is roomy and allows for several envelopes packed with papers of all sorts. Easy to use.

PROS: Eeay to program the 6 digit code Two codes per safe Batteries accessable from outside Seems to be good protection against Included inside shelf Hole to anchor to floor/shelf CONS: No backup key system (only electronic lock) Pictures shows to locking bolts on left side, but right side has only one fixed bar

Safe arrived in good shape. No problem in changing combo. Can't say how it will do in a fire and hopefully will not have to put it to the test. It is perfect for what I was needing.

Great small safe

Delivered quickly. Very easy to install. Large enough to fit documents and other valuables. Only complaint and it is a minor one is that the instructions for opening were not written very well.

This item is, by far, the most solidly built, secure safe you'll find for the money. The only thing preventing me from giving a 5-star rating is the instructions that accompany the safe. They are just awful. It took me about 10 tries to open the door for the first time. READ THE INSTRUCTIONS VERY CAREFULLY. The combination lock on this safe is not like the old Master brand combo paddlocks we used in school! The difficulty comes in deciphering the number of rotations required to dial in the next digit. For example, the instructions read: "Turn the dial to LEFT three times. pass through the first two times and next set the number at notch." It should say: "Turn the dial to LEFT, pass through twice, then set the number at the notch." Once you understand the correct number of rotations for each digit (three for the first, two for the second, one for the third, and none for the fourth), it's fine. However, if this sounds confusing, you may want to consider spending the additional $$$ for the digital keypad. Note that the key is not an over-ride for the combination lock â" BOTH are required to open the safe. One additional comment: the instruction sheet for mounting looks like a 6th generation photocopy. The illustration is useless. C'mon guys. It's not that difficult to provide legible, clear instructions these days. Hire a free lance tech writer and buy a $100 laser printer! Despite my criticism here, I would recommend this safe to anyone looking for a low-cost, well-built, secure fire-safe. Reading some of the reviews associated with competing brands scared me away -- many mentioned questionable workmanship that resulted in lock failure and/or damage during shipping. Gardall is a solidly-built, no-nonsense product that does what is claims.

I'd rather not have to worry about batteries and electronics on something that's holding my important documents, so this 'old-fashioned' safe suited me well. It seems to be a very solid safe. It's sized large enough for full sheets of paper. The combo lock and key seem sturdy and haven't given me any trouble yet. I also like that it includes the hardware needed to attach it to a concrete floor. The included tray is nice as well, but it would have been nice to have more than one. Some hooks inside the door for hanging keys would be a nice addition too.

Use as home safe - easy to bolt down - my error - not quite big enough for my needs, but great for cash & small documents.

safe arrived in a timely manner and w/o damage. fits conveniently in the home closet for keeping documents and small valuables. more economical and convenient than bank safety deposit box. could use a second shelf for better use of space.
