Pros & Cons
Pros
This safe saves critical time and is one less step between you and an intruder. This isn't a flimsy aluminum safe that could easily be breached. My only quibbles are the a) there is only one sliding pin that locks the door of the safe.
A simple rectangle covering 1/3 to 1/2 of the area is sufficient. Use thinner wood or shims for snug fit if needed to finish. Cover back up after.
Cons
The piece that broke is a very flimsy piece of metal.

Buy a cheap chinese electronic one if you want, but get this if you want it to work when needed

Internal and external box appeared fine, but product was damaged.
I wanted an in-wall lockbox (this isn't really a safe) for our new townhouse.
Also, make sure you review the interior dimensions of the box, since the available storage space is limited due to the thicknes... Read More

Although it is well built i believe it is quite a high price relative to the other competitor offerings.
Although pricier than the el-cheapo models, it's constructed much better, and it's american made.
