    I bought this as a present for my granddaughter, to be given to her in the future when we have all contributed something for it, like a commonplace book. Locked diaries were ubiquitous once; this is a good substitute, because you can’t open it so easily.

    Ideal box for securing paperwork or in our case tablets for my Mum who has memory problems.

    Very handy and sturdy box – great for keeping documents and certificate in. It’s not going to take much to open it by force but for storage it is great of you want to keep everything together. Got a couple of these and they are very handy.

    Good quality but the price is a lot of a little bit of metel, the lock is just a 3 cm piece of metel that goes up and down as you put the key in so that makes it easy to picklock.

    Bought this to keep the weeks takings safe cos the banks have been gash during lockdown. Works great. Pretty big a4 size. Drilled it down into some shelves so you would have to nick the shelves to nick the box

    Advertised as an A4 security box, you will not be able to lie A4 flat in the box. It works if you have A4 papers that don’t need to lie flat. If you have stiff A4 paper or card that needs storing then this probably wouldn’t work.
    The papers that I keep in it don’t need to be kept flat so it works for me. The box is sturdy and can be used as a portable case, as it has a handle. It can also be fixed to the wall if needed as there are holes for the fixings, and fixings are supplied.

    Not much good as a secure security box to hold cash etc in. The lock is no good – it works, sure but it is not actual thief proof in any way. It could also be easily ripped form a wall if you used the tiny screws and plugs provided. I did not buy the box for this purpose. Mine will be buried and the nicely finished, solid metal of the box itself and the hinges will do well down below.

    Not robust enough for a safe but does a good job of keeping medication away from children and adults with dementia.
    Would also hold A4 docs to same level of safety.

    This was bought to keep blister pack medication in.
    Can hold 2 blister packs and loose bottles and packets of medication.
    Had to be lockable for safety.
    Suits this purpose well.

    Good thinner sized lockable A4 box for my mothers medication. Other box files are so big and are designed for many files. This was perfect for her blister medication pack which no longer went missing.

    Golden Review Award: 8 From Our UsersReally sturdy! Great quality. Comes with spare key. I bought this box as we needed to fit in the ‘dossett boxes’ that come from the chemist pre filled with the weeks tablets, so it needed to be big enough. This box is perfect for that, I fact there’s enough spare room in to fit a couple of table boxes in and a few papers. We are very happy with it!
    Quite expensive but all these boxes tend to be.

    Bought this for my mum in law. She has set it up in a safe place. She’s more than happy with build quality and the standard of lock. Came ready supplied with floor anchor bolts. For the money really happy with this item.
    I have noticed one flaw though in this box. For total security you really need to screw/bolt this to floor or a solid surface. I tested it while just in hands and it’s possible even when locked to move top and bottom in different directions and it will release the lid. It’s then possible to close it again same way. Whilst this is a great box you definitely MUST secure it down.

    Very strong and sturdy security box, We bought it some years ago to keep our important documents in. It is made very well with good quality, And it is still being used in our home today! There is no wear or tear or dents that you would expect after years of use, So i give it the thumbs up. We did however sadly loose the key a couple of years ago, And we could not find the spare.

    I Love it , I had it ordered from US and had to pay a lot more for the shipping. but I still give it 4 stars. first off it wont fit the A4 size paper but letter sized fits perfect but I rather could put my documents in a manila envelope and keep them so it would need an inch more, it should have been 33 x 28x 8.8 cm, because lets face it no one would want to dump their deeds or whatever they will at least put it in an envelope or some protective sheet.
    any how I knew exactly what I was getting and I couldn’t find anything bette

    Pretty much as appears in product image. Cheap lightweight lockable tin. Wouldn’t class it as “secure” as its relatively easy to bust open should anyone need too get into it without the keys.

    Only-just accommodates single sheets of flat, unfolded A4 paper due to the rounded safety edges on the tin design.

    Reasonably priced for what it is and what you should therefore realistically expect from it.
