Sturdy safe, very pleased
Solid safe, perfect for storing a laptop and other small valuables. You can enter a code and then keep the backup keys somewhere hidden (but not inside!). You can attach it with provided screws into situated holes for either floor or wall installation – I chose bottom of wardrobe. Perfect for a run of the mill safe for some basic valuables as if you have a lot of super high value items you should spend a lot more money than 50 on a safe! 🙂
Fixings are made of f**$$^g chocolate apparently.
After listening to my husband ranting expletives from the cupboard under the stairs for an hour whilst trying to install this safe I can only conclude that the screws are not man enough for the job. Once fitted with replacement screws it is a very good piece of kit.

Good value for money
Good value for 40, comes with 2 keys and you can set a passcode. Seems reasonably sturdy but is small and light enough to be stolen so I suggest bolting it to a wall. Saying that, if someone really wanted to steal it then it wouldn’t put up much of a fight.

Does the job but not fort knox
This is a nice functional safe. Let’s be honest it isn’t worthy of securing your diamond tiara but if you want something to centralise some valuables, out of sight in a cupboard it does just the job. Rather than leaving your car keys on show from the kitchen window you can throw them in here. Make it a bit harder for the thieving gits. I’m happy but appreciate it isn’t fort knox
Solid and safe
Good solid safe for jewellery etc. draw back is ore position holes which can make fitting awkward depending on where you want to position
Instructions for changing code are poor (fixed with quick YouTube video) but does what it says on the ti
Works Well
I had issues with the safe that the seller failed to tell me about after i constantly tried to contact them. I’d advise putting your own new battery’s into it as the ones i got sent didn’t work but it still made a noise so was hard to work out that it was the issue
Delivery- fail supreme.
Good for its price….But the guy delivered it and the box was not concealed. So all my neighbours saw a big yellow yale box bring carried to my door….I now just keep it as a decoy with old papers inside.
Not 100% happy
Box was damaged looks like it had been in water,on the handle side the box was torn
so took it out of box to check for damage and found that the handle and lock system
was working on and it was also found one corner was damaged. and scraped down to
metal the time and inconvenience to get this collective I decided to paint the corner and
it looks ok.This was obviously damaged at warehouse and not inspected prior to dispatch
If the band are preloaded for the driver he would not have seen the damage .
ok but Amazon to sort out own handling of customers goods

Perfect for the job
Nice little safe for keeping documents, spare house keys, spare car keys, passports, credit cards, removable hard drives/memory sticks, gig tickets and any cash you have knocking around all in one reasonably secure place you can find them when you need them. You wouldn’t put the crown jewels in it but then that’s not what it’s meant for.

Good, but...
Good product as stated by others.
But…….
I had the same damage on one corner as well
It also came packaged in it’s own box with a big security case written all over it.
That’s why I gave it a 4 star.
If you can let them few things go its definitely a safe to go for.
I didn’t bother contacting seller cos I thought there was no need , overall it’s a good safe for the price.
Oh yes one more thing , when you push buttons on keypad the sound is quiet loud. Not good when you don’t want kids or others to know you’ve something that beeps in whatever place you have it !

Ok for the money
The case seems to be sturdy, but I think this could easily be lock picked. I am also concerned that the use of plastic for the key pad and handle could allow defeat of the locking mechanism. Would probably deter most opportunists thiefs. The lock mechanism has a lot of play in i

Nice size and easy to use/fit.
We like our new safe. Easy to set up a combination of up to 8 numbers. Sturdy and a nice size. Has key & spare, just in case.
Sturdy and secure
Liked the streamlined shape and the excellent finish of this item. This was a gift for my grandson to take to University to keep his personal belongings secure. It is performing exactly as expected and is perfect for the purpose it was bought for.
Excellent safe - user friendly!
This is an excellent home safe at this price point: very sturdy, a good size and so simple to use. Setting your own key- code is very easy and the added option of back-up keys adds further peace of mind. Very pleased!
Sturdy, functional, affordable home or office safe. 👍
It was just what I was looking for. Large enough to store plenty in but not so big that it takes up a lot off space.
Good and secure but rubbish instructions
Instructions are rubbish! You tube showed me the “handle wiggle” needed after closing the door. Once learned, works a dream with flexibility to use 4 to 8 numbers as your pass code. Needs better wall plugs and screws to fix to wall or floor, but again, once done, good and secure. Gives me good piece of mind, but come on Yale, better instructions needed.

This review is written bearing in mind the rather modest cost. This is the sort of safe suitable for home use and would be useful against an opportunist thief.
I doubt it would stand up to a sustained attack from a determined thief who had time and tools.
I was a little disappointed to see no predrilled holes in the floor. Meaning you can only bolt this to the wall. I’d rather do both just to be sure. I’m sure it wouldn’t have added much to the manufacturing cost. I’ve deducted 1 star for that. I just think there’s no reason to scrimp on this bit.
I managed to set up the PIN code without looking at the instructions. So that’s a good thing. The safe uses 4xAA batteries. There are some included but I’ve chosen to put in better alkaline AA’s instead.
The handle is plastic and doesn’t feel sturdy. I suspect the plastic handle would snap before the lock. Meaning if it were attacked, that’s the first bit I’d expect to be broken.
Overall for 40 I can’t grumble at all. It’ll be fine for our use.

Safe enough!
Very good unit for a small safe – easy to install in a small space, and stores all my papers etc securely. Never going to be as secure as a built-in safe, but sited in the right place, you’d have a job to get it off the wall without a long crowbar, and before my Dobermanns wake up! I’d rate this highly for a home for low to medium value items and documents.
Ideal for home
I’ve been searching for a while for something like this. For me this product fits perfectly in my desired storage space, very durable and strong product. Space inside is quite generous for the size of the safe, has a shelve too for dividing the safe into two parts. It comes with mounting screw fittings. Overall very satisfies and a very good product for the home.

Good product and price
Very heavy and bigger than I imagined.
Looks the part.
Only got for keeping medication away from little hands.
Easy to set up and install.
Easy to operate to open etc.
Comes with two keys in case of battery failure.
I went for this as the brand name reassured me.
More than happy.
Safe
Easy to set up with easy instructions, 4 x AA batteries included plus mounting screws. Looks smart and sturdy (would need mounting as lightweight and easily carried away).
Able to programme and 9 digit code and comes with 2 fail safe keys. Bleep is a bit loud, would be advantageous if it allowed you to lower volume or turn it off completely.

Very strong safe with useless instructions.
Good little safe after finally managing to unlock the door after spending ages with the USELESS INSTRUCTIONS I ended up going onto You Tube just befor I gave up and returned the safe for a refund.I found out that to set your PIN this has to be done IMMEDIATELY after pressing the RESET BUTTON while the GREEN LED IS LIT. There is nothing in the instructions about this and I only found out on the web before I returned the safe.

Delivery was 7 p.m. at night. Delivery was advised as being firstly Wed / Thursday then they changed it to Tuesday so cancelled appointment i had, then got message being delivered on Monday. Delivery company just dumped on door step at about 7 p.m. As others say no middle shelf as shown in photographs. But otherwise as expected. BUT the useless screw and raw plugs provided would not be a challenge to anyone wanting to remove from a wall.. Had to get expanding wall bolts as I have on my other safe. real bad these screws. Given the reviews Amazon needs to sort this Yale safe out..

Good value
The Yale Locks safe is ideal for my use however the bolts supplied were poor quality steel. I obtained better quality bolts from a well known hardware store. Good idea to bolt both through the back wall and the floor. Socket set required to access the bolts within the small compartment. Apply PVA adhesive to bolt hole/wall plug for firmer hold.
Its okay
Safe is okay after you work out how to get it shut and opened again. The leaflet supplied is not much use. Id asked for the safe to be sent wrapped when I ordered it as it stated it arrived in the original box showing what was inside. It arrived UNWRAPPED even though Id ticked the “wrapped please” while ordering. BLAZONED on the 4 sides of the box were HUGE photos of the safe inside…….. everyone that saw of handled my package knew exactly what was inside the box….. not amused.

Mostly ok might seem a bit harsh, but you have to keep in mind what its for and how much it cost. Its not a rip-off to purchase, but neither is it likely to deter anything other than a chance thief. An experienced scum-bag will get into this with a crow bar, angle grinder and a little time, but what do you expect for less than 50.00 sterling. If you want something more substantial that will take longer for an experienced crook to open you’ll need to spend 10x the cost of this box.

Firstly – the safe itself.
“Does what it says on the tin”. Well made, sturdy but small enough to hide away – so it doesn’t look like a safe.
We bought some fireproof wallets to put any cash in – because, fireproof this isn’t. To be fair, it doesn’t advertise as fireproof.
I would have given this 5 stars if not for one GLARING error!
I was wondering if these come with a big “Valuables Inside” board you can stick outside your house (or maybe “Criminals Welcome”).
Why oh why does this have to arrive in a bloody great box emblazoned with “Yale Home Safe” all over it? If, like us, you live on a warden controlled estate, everything arrives at the main office – meaning everyone who went in the office this morning now knows we’ve got something worth stealing!! Already I’ve been asked “what do you need a safe for then”?
I’d much rather have kept that detail quiet from all those who now know we keep valuables at home.
To me it is just plain daft – and it costs them money to print!!!
I would have thought in this “risk averse” society they could have just printed a model number on a plain box instead of everything but the instructions!!
Just a bit silly in my book – so – only 4 stars from me.

Quality/Price
Excellent value, and very secure. Instructions, 1 fold out page, are extremely poor. I had to use the Amazon forum to reach out to other buyers to be able to set everything up.
Note, it will not contain an A4 page, one would have to buy the next bigger size, but, otherwise, I am well pleased.
A nice looking safe.
This does exactly what you would expect and comes with the parts to screw it in to your wall. We use this as a medical safe (to keep tablets in there) and have an 8 digit code on the lock. The kids have no real chance of bypassing this and even if it decides that the code-pad has had enough, you have two keys which can open it anyway. The physical lock is hidden and so even that isn’t obvious to those who needn’t be in the know.

A real quality safe, and outstanding value for money! I’d highly recommend it.

It’s pretty good, but could be improved
Nice and secure – but only if you are convinced by its looks. The locking mechanism could’ve been made a lot stronger as the only thing keeping it locked is a tiny bit of magnetic metal.
That being said, to reset the password you have to already have the safe unlocked and remove the battery cover – so no more bypassing the lock by pushing the button via the back holes!
I think this is secure enough for a home environment, but the security could be made a lot better that what it currently is.

Strong safe, perfectly mounts on the wall with the screws and plugs provided, simple to set your code. Amazed at the bad reviews from people saying it’s hard to setup, you would have to be a complete idiot if you cannot setup the simple steps. Slot the batteries in, press the red button, and enter your desired code, how hard is that? Duuhhh!!
Got this for my poor dear friend , its great! Easy to use and she is delighted with it !
Only one gripe … why on earth do you advertise what the item in the box being delivered is ????
Surely it would be more prudent to dispatch in a plain box. … for security .

Decent safe
This is a quite decent home safe and good value for money too. I’ve installed it using the provided bolts and it’s solid. Had it a couple of months now and so far it is holding up well with frequent use. The keypad is easy to use if you mount it in an awkward place thanks to fairly large keys.
bought this for safely storing the car keys and some cash...good produc
Really good safe. There are people saying that if you hit them or slap them that you can open them but I bolted them on the wall using the screws provided and I can say that its super steady and looks strong enough for the job.
Just righ
We needed a safe for keeping our car keys in following a spate of electronic cloning thefts from neighbours cars whilst they were in the house! It is also useful for keeping the ‘Crown Jewels’ in of course! Unlike other reviewers we did not find that the keys were locked inside the safe on delivery and fitment was easy with the plugs and coach screws provided. The quality of construction is what you expect for this level of cost and is pertinent for our uses. Yale make better grades at higher costs for people that have things of high value to store.
We tested the Faraday Cage effect for the electronics and given its location works fine for us.

This safe is very heavy, which is a good thing. It comes with screws in case you want to wall mount it. It can be opened with a combination of numbers and with keys. It is quite spacious inside and I think it is a very good product. Please remember to never leave the safe keys inside it as those are useful in case you forget the combination or the batteries run out. I’ve had it for 6 months and so far I’m extremely pleased with it!

Really like the product, but the reason for 1 star less is it makes loud beeping noise when you press the numbers, no need for everyone to hear that I’m opening up a safe
Personally i love this safe
Personally i love this safe, despite the other negative reviews, it’s actually very easy to set up, if you’re unsure just ask somebody else a bit more mechanically minded.
As for the design it’s very sturdy and simplistic to use, the small size is enough space for money and some other valuables, perfectly fine for me.
Would recommend.

Good quality. As expected
Really pleased with this. It’s got bolt holes on the base and the back to secure it where you eventually decide to put it. Easy to enter a code. Comes with 4 AA batteries since it’s a digital lock. Two override keys that you need to keep somewhere safe.
Arrived quickly and is as described. Good size for valuables. Instructions took a little while to follow but managed to figure it out without swearing too much!
Good produc
i am impressed with my purchase of this small yale safe, for the price it’s a well made and sturdy, and the fitting instructions are simplicity it’s self, and once it’s anchored to the floor or wall or I suppose if you wanted to both you will have in my humble opinion a good and secure little safe to keep your valuables i
I was so nervous about getting this safe after I read the reviews about the difficulties with the key and the Yale sticker being difficult to come off, along with the issues with setting up the keypad and the battery compartment.- but I decided to take a risk-given the price.
On arrival I was expecting all of these issues and was ready to write my reviews to add to all the others- BUT the safe proved me wrong it was sooooo simple to set up and everything worked perfectly. In my head I was thinking surely it can’t be this easy if people have had issues with it. But it was. For what I need it for it is PERFECT! It’s sturdy for something so small and works just fine for me! I’m very pleased!

Almost certainly as good as you will get for the price...
I saw some negative reviews for this product, but honestly cannot understand why. My experience was good, the safe arrived promptly after ordering, it was in new condition and everything was there as described. I didn’t particularly like the wall fixing (plastic-plug type with screws) so bought some more robust wall bolts (under 5) which I preferred. Nothing wrong with the fixing supplied, but wanted something better for my peace of mind. The safe was easy to instal and works as described. It isn’t going to be a Fort Knox for the price, but the wall thickness and an 8-digit combination should deter most attempts at illicit entry. Nothing is absolutely secure, but this at least gives me the reassurance that I have taken all reasonable steps to safeguard my valuables.
Just the job. We keep our car keys inside ...
Just the job. We keep our car keys inside at night to solve the problem of remote scanners connecting to them and the cars being stolen.
Very simple to fit although I drilled bigger holes to accommodate expansion bolts to fasten to the wall. The combination lock can take up to eight digits so it’s very difficult to work out a combination.
This is a good quality and medium sized safe perfect for home use. My only negative feedback is that the instructions are hopeless! They are pictorial only and I had to search for written instructions on the internet. Once I had these is was very easy to set up and use-Please include written instructions for future!!

What a great product, I have no hesitation in giving this 5 stars.
I had moment of panic after ordering when I checked the dimensions again but it’s turned up and its perfect, it’s like the holiday safes you get in a hotel room. We wanted it to house a few valuables and important documents.
The safe is quite weighty, really well built and solid. It comes with simple picture instructions, batteries, two override keys and some fixing bolts, it has fixing holes in the base and the back of the safe, I think I’ll use both for additional security.
At just over 25 I think this represents very good value for money.

Handy little home safe.
Does what it’s supposed to and a reasonable size. Supplied with the batteries needed and it’s not too heavy. One thing we came across though was when moving the safe, the batteries and cover tend to come dislodged easily and you’ll need the key to get back in and reseat them.
Bolts are supplied if you want to floor fasten, but that seems too much effoert – well for me anyway !
Great safe
This safe is just what I expected for the price the instructions could be clearer as there is a knack to the locking/unlocking method but when you get used to it it’s a simple procedure I would have given it a 5 star rating but for the instructions the fixing screws should be more substantial but purchase 4 concrete rawl bolts if fixing to a wall or floo
Have had this a few weeks now and it’s seems to do the job. I bolted it to the wall and the top of the cupboard it sits on and it is very secure, I did add big washers to the fixing kit to improve things. Have tried banging the top whilst trying to turn the handle as stated in other reviews and I can confirm that mine doesn’t open. big enough to get all of our documents in. Very easy to set up

I love this safe. I’d seen the negative responses, and when it came, I could tell it was well built. I tried banging the top of it and turning the latch as people had suggested it opened it, but it doesn’t. I don’t see how it would either. It’s solid steel cylindrical bars that lock horizontal, there’s no way banging the top of it can unlock it.
Good size, good build and good usability.

Can’t fault it. It’s what you pay for! Not sure how so many people struggled to understand instructions! On the paper is really obvious. When setting you pin make sure you press reset button that beeps, while door open still type you made up code and press enter! Close your safe making sure your keys not inside the safe, then type code you made up and set then press key button!

It's really nice and fits folders perfectly
It’s really nice and fits folders perfectly. Quite stylish look.
The screws supplied though are quite poor quality, one sheared off when screwing into the rawlplug…
This is a good safe. But like all safes the key is where you install it. Don’t put it in your bedroom or kitchen (apparently the first places burglars look). Do use the included screws and fix it to a wall. I opened up the chuck of my drill and fitted the bit into that – this safe is not going anywhere – unless they want to take some of the wall with them.

Good safe shame about the handle (plastic) The lock mechanism seems fine and the pass code is easy to set ,Make sure you securely fix it down Don’t use the screws provided Too weak, Shear too easy

Not quite as sturdy feeling as I was hoping, but for our use it is more than adequate. Ideal for storing documents, passports, jewellery etc in. Easy to program and can be bolted down also for added security.
Does it's job!
Very pleased with this purchase, looks exactly as shown in the picture. It’s big enough to store money, passports or any important documents. Comes with screws if you wish to screw the safe anywhere. The key hole is covered with a yellow YALE plastic thing which you need to pull off completely, (it took me a while to take the plastic thing off, i had to use a knife.)
However, the only issue i had was that the instructions were illustrations without any use of words which I found a bit confusing when setting my code. Nevertheless, I love this safe and i will purchase a larger version in the nearby future if required.

Safe as described and excellent for the price. Whilst accepting that it may not deter all ‘professional thief’s’, with the tools and time for the job, it will stop any opportunist thief.
Contrary to some previous reviews: the safe was fitted on the floor against a wall easily enough using all four supplied bolts. Maybe obvious but memory tells me that the depth of the holes for the bolts needed to be deeper than the supplied rawlplugs (which may account for previous reports of bolt heads snapping off?). The inner shelf had been secured to stop any rattles and potential scratching during transit. The setting up of the keypad was straightforward.
Not built of the thickest steel in the world but when bolted to a solid wall it’s certainly solid enough to deter any opportunist thief. Certainly makes us a lot happier about leaving valuables at home. Heaps of room inside with a dividing shelf. Two keys in case you forget the code you put in.
Great small personal/family safe
This is surprisingly light! I had thought all safes were supposed to be very heavy so I was alarmed when I got the package – but I need not have feared, the security in terms of lifting the safe out of your property is handled by the option to bolt it to floor or wall. There are only 2 bolts supplied (you are supposed to choose floor or wall)but I picked up 2 more and screwed it to both floor and wall. I will need to take the wall out if ever loose the keys and code!
The code is easy to program and operate, and the 2 spare keys are reassuring. We had it working within minutes – very happy with the simplicity and security of the device.
The size is small though, as seen on the description – for jewelerly, passports travel tickets etc it does the job perfectly.
GREAT
Good Build , It was hard to get the clip off the back of the code door but once off, batteries in and if instructions followed the code took me a while to put in but once that is done , it is done and if you make a mistake don’t worry you have TWO backup keys(so keep them safe) to open the safe and its a secret but the key slot is behind the Yale golden circle :).
But it keeps alot of things in there and i think the small size is good enough for most users that just want a safe to put a few important items in .
This safe was the second ordered in a couple of days as the first one turned out to be faulty. I had picked this safe after trawling the internet because of 1) the price 2) the larger size 3) security offered by Yale.
The instructions are very poor and are in pictures with a one line of instructions on right hand side of the piece of paper. We followed them intently but try as we may for 3 hours we could not open the safe after inputting our security code. The key would open the safe but our numbers wouldn’t. We tried many times to reset as you would any hotel safe and inputted new numbers but to no avail, we even took the batteries out left it for 20 mins and put them back and started again! No still wouldn’t work so we had to concede defeat and pack it up again to send back as faulty. The process for returning is easy as always with Amazon.The same evening I once again trawled the internet for a new safe but came back to this one so with trepidation ordered another. We were even worried opening the box!
No need to worry this one works first time with no problems what so ever so last one definitely faulty! I like the size of the safe as it will hold an A4 file and other items. I also like having a key in case batteries fail, and the security of the Yale label.It does feel quite lightweight but I have that other safes seem so flimsy they could be opened with a crowbar! Now need to secure to the wall and probably need stronger screws than those supplied but a minor problem. If you cant understand the pictures somewhere there is a review of this item with their written instructions!
Perfect home safe
I noticed I had accumulated a lot of individual high value items, cameras binoculars laptops phones ornaments etc which could attract burglary so I bought this and it is ideal for my needs. Larger than a hotel type safe but small enough to conceal. Not only that I now know where everything is stored.
Well worth the money for piece of mind.
I would have given five stars except for the packaging – this is a Yale issue and not Amazon. As previous reviewers have stated the shelf is just thrown inside and was scuffed in transit together with the floor covering having detached itself. The screws etc had broken free so quite a rattle!
The instructions are sparce but fitting the safe was fine, and setting the code was simple.
It is a sturdy unit and should deter a would be burgular unless (s)he was alone in the house for a period of time and was able to strip it from the wall. On this note, as previously stated, purchasing more sturdy fittings would be advisable.
The real thumbs up is for Amazon; the safe was was ordered Friday night and delivered Monday morning – free supersaver delivery at its best.
The safe arrived very promptly. I ordered the bolts as suggested by other customers but am still waiting for those and they should have arrived before the safe. Naturally, they will be returned! The safe was well packed and unmarked on arrival and 3 days before expected which was excellent. I used the bolts and fittings supplied by Yale. They weren’t brilliant but I managed to fit them with a bit of effort. It was a bit fiddly screwing bolts and screws in a confined space, but this is no fault of the safe just the space in which I was operating. The only problem I found with setting it up was down to my inability to follow a diagram. When setting the code it is necessary to locate the reset button on the inside door of the safe at the left of the battery box and press it. The mechanism will sing to you and a green light will come on. Whilst the green light is on press between 3 and 8 numbers and press enter. To close the door move handle to left. This will lock the mechanism. To open press code and enter. The mechanism will sing and you can move the handle to the right and the door will open. To open the door with the key, insert key press the key symbol and move handle to the right. I include this information in case other purchasers are as stupid as I am when following diagrams. It must be a girl thing!! Other than that, the safe is a good size and will accommodate A4 file boxes plus loads of other stuff. It represents excellent value for money.
Reassuringly safe as houses.
After reading a number of reviews this safe had more pluses than any other taking into account the price. Easily installed though I did use larger, more substantial bolts than provided. The supplied fixing bits had been cannibalised so it was down to improvising, no problem, in fact an improvement. The instructions suffer the ‘chocolate tea pot syndrome’. Have a glance and then work it out for yourself, it’s less stressful.
The size is just about right for our needs, it’s robust, well finished and has the advantage of key back up. Setting your personal number couldn’t be easier.
Overall, a very good purchase though I hope it never gets challenged by undesirables.
Good for what it is. It’s. not fireproof and you could open it if a burglar came reasonably tooled up. Nevertheless arrived promptly easy to operate and decent value. Would recommend i
The safe has (small) scratches on it when I unpacked it, and a screw was missing.
The overall quality is not very good, but the price is unbeatable.
Will do what it is made for.
The safe arrived on time and contained all the necessary components for installation. I fitted the safe in a confined space which was a bit fiddly but that was because the space was small and not the fault of the safe’s design. Once installed and the batteries added to the locking mechanism, it was child’s play to use and has worked first time, every time since. The safe has separate keys which override the code which also work first time every time. I recommend this product and as I am very critical of products that do not live up to my expectation (my Dell computer for example – I shall not be purchasing a Dell again) I must think it good!
