Yale YSV/390/DB1 Large Value Safe, Digital Keypad, LED Light Indicators, 15mm Steel Locking Bolts, Emergency Override Key, Wall And Floor Fixings, Black Finish, 40 Litre Capacity 39 x 35 x 36 cm

It’s a safe safe!
I wanted a small safe to store backup data drive, passport etc. It’s never going to defeat a determined thief but it will protect them more than leaving things on view. Good value for a strong metal box with decent locking mechanism and digital key pad (with keys for backup). Easily bolted to the wall with supplied bolts. The other benefit is I know where these things are rather than wondering where I left them! Exactly what I wanted and expected. Pay a lot more for more security but it’s relative to how secure you need valuables to be.

Great Safe
A great safe, though took us a while to figure out how to get the cap off the key cover. Drawing on instructions not very clear. Broke a nail trying to remove it. Once we figured it out, it’s a great safe for what we need it for.

Perfec
Perfect for what I use it for, easy to install very sturdy I would recommend this to all X

Good product but came damaged
Safe came in a standard cardboard box. Upon opening I discovered a few dents and scrapes, mainly to the corners. The plastic cap from the bottom of the handle was missing but I did find it in the corner of the box. The package had obviously been very poorly handles and thrown around, I think some better packaging and even rigid plastic corner protection would be the minimum required.
I have it bolted to the floor hidden away but if it was out and seen then I would have returned it.
Apart from that it seems a well made safe & quite happy with it. Not fire or flood proof so I bought pouches to keep important documents and cash safe inside it.

Nice little safe
Looks the part. I havent read the instructions yet, but managed to set the code easily.

Pop the yale logo off the front, and underneath you’ll find a keyhole to unlock the safe, i assume if you forget the code, you get x2 keys with the safe.

The handle thatnopens the door is a bit plasticy.

The battery pack inside the door looks and feels a bit cheap, but there are 4 batteries include to put in it.

I bought the small safe, my good lady said it was like one fromba hotel room, i think she is right, its that sort of size.

Word of warning. I had this on my chest of drawers before i fitted it. Opened the door, and the door is so heavy the whole unit fell forward, luckily i caught it, of i hadnt would have been broken toes i think, but that is my fault.

This is a safe for 30. Looks good from the outside, it wont be the most secure safe you can buy, but for 30 i think its worth the money, and would certainly slow a thief down.

Security
Great product , perfect for me , however I have reservations having so many to see labels promoting what it is ? This is to secure my home .. not to put a spot light on it .. maybe rethink advertising to all what it is … thanks

Item does what it says…!
Good product for the cost, exactly what you need to keep some stuff more secure in you home or office.

Brillia
This is a brilliant little safe. I’m using it to keep documents and old photos in and any other little things that I want to keep safe. I’ve not used the key pad and prefer to use the key.
Would definitely get another.

Value for money for small laptops, but not top quality or fireproof / waterproof
A value for money strongbox, rather than a safe which is fireproof or waterproof.
“You get what you pay for.”

The width of the opening is 13 and three quarter inches (35cm), so laptops wider than this will not fit.
This will fit a 13 inch laptop screen or smaller tablet only.

It is a budget strongbox, rather than a thick walled safe.
It is not waterproof because it has gaps in the metal joins.
It would be fire resistantfor a short period of time, but again, with gaps in the metal joins, it is not fireproof to a great extent.

I recommend searching on youtube for instructions how to set the code.

To set the code –
1.) Put the batteries into the panel.
2.) Open the safe door.
3.) Take the key out of the lock.
4.) Set the lock handle to “open position”.
5.) Press the red button on the battery panel for two seconds until it bleeps twice.
6.) Enter the code you have chosen between 3 – 8 digits.
7.) Press “Enter”
8.) Turn the lock handle to “Closed” position”.
9.) Press the “Key” button on the keypad.

works
he safe works a bit fiddly to get the combo lock to work. I cannot see Why people struggle in getting it to work if you get it wrong first time remove a battery replace the battery press the reset button ear a beep retype you code press enter your code set easy. good strong safe for what I want it for. well worth the money

Bought as a gif
My daughter loses everything and leaves money and other valuables lying around. Bought this so she could keep her valuables in one place and out of sight! Hopefully no more lost bank cards or passports! Excellent value and ideal for keeping small valuables locked away.

Great Safe For The Price
I bought this safe to store my crypto ledger wallets. I also store our passports, cash and jewelery.

What a great little safe for the price.

Really east to install, comes with 9mm screw bolts and is really sturdy. EAST ENOUGH to set it up althouth the instructions dont really tell you much. I had to watch a youtube video to set it up, but it was very easy to follow the video only took about a minute

Decent small safe for the money
It’s about the size of safe you normally get in a hotel room and is the perfect size for keeping cash, small valuables and documents in. It seems secure enough – but is only as secure as the surface you attach it too and the bolts you use to do it. It’s probably not going to stop someone absolutely intent on stealing it, but it will stop people being able to just find your stuff and swipe it without any protection.
The numeric keypad is easy to use and the locking mechanism feels ‘chunky’ and secure. It comes with a back-up key in-case you forget your PIN or the battery dies, which is quite handy – but obviously you don’t want to leave that anywhere easy to find!

It's a deterrent, not Fort Knox
For the price this is a reasonable home safe. The walls are single skin, sheet metal – perfectly adequate but not exactly indestructible. It is not water or fire proof, but what can you expect for the price. The base plan will accommodate anything up to and very slightly larger than A4 format. There is no shelf supplied. It’s a good deterrent as much as anything and unless fire, water and the Hope diamond are a concern, it should serve its purpose.

Excellent safe, good value for the money.
Good size and value for money.
Easy to use.
I would highly recommend i

excellent little safe
Solidly built and compact, yet big enough for a household’s needs. Very easy to mount on the wall. one small issue — the batteries supplied, and needed for the electronic lock, were dead! Put new ones in and it works a treat.

Very good product would recommend.
Very good product even come with batterys which is unusual.
Very good product, good quality easy to use and set up comes with screws to bolt it to the wall or were ever.
Very happy.
Good price and fast delivery.

Yale YSV/200/DB1 Budget Safe Review
Yale’s YSV/200/DB1 is an affordable and compact home safe, ideal for protecting small, medium value items. Insurance approved to protect up to 1,000 with an easy to use digital code lock, this home safe offers everything most homeowners could need in a compact safe. But is this enough to satisfy our team of security experts? Get the lowdown on the pros, cons, and overall quality of Yale’s budget safe with our expert review.

What’s good
Price
Everyone likes a bargain and this safe is certainly competitively priced, offering great value for money.
Electronic lock
A keypad is always my preference over basic key locking because you can change the code to something that only you will know.
Ease of use
Locking the safe is straightforward and the door feels quite sturdy with a reassuring clunk when you close it. You can set a PIN code with 4, 5 or 6 numbers which you can change as often as you like and don’t worry if you forget the code or the batteries run flat, the Yale Budget comes with 2 back up keys for instant access. Be careful not to lock keys in the safe!
Fitting
There are pre-drilled fixing holes in the back as well as the bottom so you can secure the safe to the wall or floor. Take a read of our ‘How to install a Home Safe’ Guide for more info.
Reliability
For such a low price point we receive a surprising low number of faulty units and rarely need to send replacements. A 12 month warranty is included as standard although more expensive safes offer 2 years or more.

What’s not so good
Back up keys
I know I said earlier how useful these can be but they are often misplaced, accidentally thrown away with the packaging or more commonly locked inside the safe. I speak to someone everyday who has locked the back-up keys inside their safe — for safe keeping!
Fixing Bolts
Although included I would prefer something a bit sturdier. They will happily secure the safe to the wall or floor and you might find them more than adequate but replacing them with longer bolts would be my advice.
Security
This is certainly not a high security safe and with the right tools and time, eventually it could be opened. The thing to remember is this will keep out most opportunist thieves.

Verdict
The Yale Budget is one of our best selling safes for two reasons; it’s cheap and it’s made by Yale. Let’s not kid ourselves; you get what you pay for. I wouldn’t recommend it for expensive jewellery but it’s great for storing your passport or maybe a birth certificate — ideally the sort of stuff you need to keep safe and in one place. If you are looking for something that’s cheap and cheerful then you really don’t need to look much further than this excellent little safe by Yale.

Good value for money!
This is a compact, and well built little safe. Battery operated with clear instructions and two fail-safe back up keys provided.

Constructed from medium-gauge, pressed steel sheet, this little safe – if well secured, will deter all but the very well-equipped or determined burglar.

However, it’s worth pointing out that the rawl-plugs provided aren’t that great, and I chose to buy my own wall fixings in order to ensure this safe was as securely fixed as possible.

Any decent M10 sleeve anchor or rawl-plug will suffice, and as the safe’s made of mild steel, drilling additional clearance isn’t an issue.

This isn’t a fire-proof safe, so it won’t protect anything stored within in such situations. It’s also quite a small safe, and this is perfect, if like me, you only want to secure important documents and a few items of jewellery.

However, if you’re looking to secure gold ingots with Fort Knox levels of security, this is not the safe for you.

protect your belongings
simple to use. you also get keys with it. well its a safe. you put things, lock it and leave it. have holes to secure to the wall or floor. havent tried to open with force but looks tough. would buy again.

Safe and secure !
Great little safe to store valuables.
Would recommend securing to a solid wall with the supplied long screws and obviously hidden out of sight.
Once secured it would be extremely difficult to remove.
Feel rest assured my valuables are safe once locked with bolts.
No problem setting up at all with code.
Comes with 2 override keys in case of flat battery.
Do spend a fortune…this will do the job.

Just right for the job.
This may be described as a large domestic strongbox, perfect for storing valuables and collectables.
It’s simple to set-up, and large enough to store several wooden boxes, in fire-resistant bags. The shelf is easily removed, to accommodate these larger items.

Strong and good security
I’ve bought this safe lock for my best friend birthday present
She told me about she find it very useful.
She is very happy with it.
I’ve got a safe lock same this safe lock for putting my valuables and kept it safe.

Great Value
You get fabulous value for money with this safe. Looks good and looks sturdy. More importantly it is. Easy to bolt down. Very easy to set combination. also to use getting in and out.
Highly recommended

Decent a d great for the price.
Lighter than I expected but seems sturdy enough. Just like the type of safes you get in a hotel. Does the job. I agree with other reviews though, plain packaging please, there’s no need to advertise to the world that you’ve just bought a safe. Especially now we have contactless delivery and boxes are left on the doorstep for the neighbours to see.

Good basic secure box
Meets all my requirements for a small secure box to keep documents and small valuables safer in the house. It’s security depends on where you place it as I suspect it would not prevent a determined thief from gaining access. I placed it in a position where it can’t be moved or permit easy access.
Only negative comment is why oh why are the 2 keys (for use if you forget your security number) embossed very clearly with Yale in a bright colour? Any burglar will find one of them and know there is a safe to look for in the house.
