An easy and reliable security device
I was looking for a place to store all of our valuables and sensitive documents with my partner as we have recently moved into a new house and so far this has been the perfect security device for what we need. This safe is clearly designed for home use and for that it is perfect, able to fit most small items and documents in it. In fact, at 34 litres in size it is a touch bigger than I initially expected, but this isn’t necessarily a downside as it can store everything my partner and I need with more room for the future, but just be aware of the dimension if you were looking to fit it in a specific space.
In terms of safety, just to look at the safe it looks incredibly sturdy and is well made from thick steel, with two large steel bolts to lock the door of the safe; it is certainly not the lightest item to have to move around but this provides the needed protection from theft should the worst happen. If need be, there are also a series of bolts provided to be able to bolt it into the wall or a stand which, while I haven’t utilised this feature, is a nice touch and adds extra security options.
The digital lock can be customised and set to a code from 4 to 8 digits, and this is a very simple process to set up. However, if the worst were to happen and you forget the code, there are two keys provided that can manually override and open up the safe door. There is also an emergency power-pack/battery supplied with the safe that allows you to power the keypad if its battery runs out so you can easily change/recharge batteries. Personally though, I would just use the master keys instead as this is an easier option, but both work. I also tested out the alarm for if the code is input incorrectly and it is loud enough to be heard through most of our house.
In terms of negatives, for me the only slight let down is that the main handle is made of plastic which diminishes what would have been otherwise great design, and the plastic over the ‘override’ lock can be really difficult to get out. Also, from descriptions online, it is not fireproof or waterproof, which could be a deal breaker for some. But for me this has been a really good device to keep things safe. I think that for the money it is pretty well priced for the level of quality and comes with enough features to warrant the cost. Overall I would recommend for home owners wanting to keep a small amount of items safe.
Strong and secure ...
This really is a very good safe, security wise it has a lot going for it.
This safe measures 38 cm in width and 30 cm in height and depth. It is quite heavy at 13 kg and is very well made from a black alloy steel.
It comes with everything required including for expansion bolts which allows you to secure it to a solid wall. Two master keys and two emergency keys are also supplied as well as easy to read and follow instructions.
Inside the safe is a shelf which is removable.
The keypad is operated with AA batteries.
To lock and unlock the safe you have a couple of options … keys or electronic keypad. If you enter the key code wrong 3 times you will hear a very loud warning beep.
My husband has fixed our safe to an internal outside wall, this wall is made of solid stone so we feel confident at the safe will not easily be removed.
Pleased with this safe and I have no problem in recommending it.
Thank you for reading my review and I hope you have found it useful.
Grea
I was after the home safe for some time now and was very happy to receive the invitation to review this one.
From the first glance, this one looks solid enough, not the bank type obviously, but more decent than the regular shoebox. The safe size is pretty much the same as you would have in a decent hotel. Looks and works very similar to those too.
Inside you have two shelves and some soft felt. It is roomy enough for most household items to be stored in a safe place.
Because it is light enough for a person to carry, it must be secured to the wall to stop being lifted. The anchor bolts are included, but I have chosen to use some heavier bolts for this.
I have misplaced the manual; therefore, I had to find a youtube video on how to set my password. It is very easy to do once you have the default password.
The safe can be unlocked with a set of keys also, but a digital lock is more convenient. This one requires 4x AAA batteries (not included). There is a little device to power up the digital lock if batteries lose charge.
My only beef is the digital lock itself. The safe is made from decent and strong steel, but the digital lock looks a bit flimsy. I do not think that if you knock that of, you can open the safe, but still. Even if it had rubberised edges, it would look stronger and better made, thank it looks now.
Overall, 4.5 stars. Safe is great, but the lock needs refining
Solid little safe
This is a great little safe. You can either unlock it with the two keys provided or use the keypad and just one of the keys. There’s also an emergency battery that you can use incase the battery inside the unit has died. The display is nice and easy to read and the buttons easy to press. You will need a key either way so you can’t just use the keypad as entry. I guess you could just leave the key in it though if your not so keen on having to find the key each time you want to open it.
It comes with all the fittings needed to fit it to a wall or floor and it’s a very solid little safe. Sure your probably nit going to want to keep your millions in there as someone would easily get into it with a decent amount of time, but perfect for small items and it’s nice and small so it can be hidden away. I use this in conjunction with a fire wallet so all out personal documents are safe and secured in the event of a fire or theft.
Overall it’s a great little safe and perfect for so many uses.

I’ve got to be honest this is a bit of a crazy safe. Even though it’s strong and sturdy and well constructed you do need patients to set it up.. I would strongly recommend this safe. And definitely good value for money. The one good thing about this safe it doesn’t really matter who knows your code they still can’t get in you still need a key to open the safe. Just a quick note tried to get hold of of customer service two asked about. Additional keys to the safe if didn’t want to know no. It was like the Spanish Inquisition so please don’t rely on customer service because there isn’t any
Small safe
This little safe is for putting small valuable or documents. The safe is heavy, with its heavy door and two strong locking bars for high security.
Although it is heavy it is still liftable, so it is better to fix it on a concrete wall. The safe came with with bolts for attaching it to wall.
The safe has two ways to unlock, one with the key and password, or if forgot about the password, you can also open it with a key and an emergency keys. It will create sound when you press the buttons or you can also change it to silent mode so it remain silent when pressing. If the safe is experiencing a violent vibration, or wrong passwords have been entered 3 times, that it will activate the alarm system, it can be stopped by entering the correct code, it not the sound will last for 60 seconds.
Inside the safe there is an removable shelf which can be taken out if you need to put larger item into the safe. The soft inner linings offers protection for your valuables from scratches or damage.
Overall, it is a good safe, but you must find a place to securely fixed onto or it will be taken away by thieves.

SAFE As Houses - But HANDLE With Care...
This Smarthive Digital Safe is a pretty chonky affair; a very sturdy 38cm x 30cm x 30cm Alloy Steel box weighing in at a hefty 12Kg, the door securely locked with two impressively thick steel rods.
For further security, there are pre-drilled holes in the rear and base, along with the requisite bolts to affix the safe to floor or wall, be it concrete or wood. With this puppy locked and bolted in place I imagine it would take some pretty hefty power-tools and some time to remove without the combination or keys, so it is very secure.
Of course it is a security safe that requires a password input, and being digital rather than mechanical, it relies on a power source, which in this case is 4 AA batteries in a compartment safely placed on the inside of the door.
The big drawback with this of course is that it the batteries are not replaced before they fail, the digital lock is unusable.
That potential problem can be countered however, by the use of an emergency portable battery box that can be plugged in to the digital lock and re-activate. Like giving a vehicle with a flat battery a jump start. I must confess that my concern was always about the possibility of power failure, but this emergency box is a very neat solution.
Here’s a tip though; don’t keep it – or indeed the spare key – inside the safe. I know it seems obvious but any of us can have an absent-minded moment, so do ensure the Keys and battery box are in a safe and separate location!
The safe has a 34litre capacity, so unless you’re an annexe of Fort Knox it should have plenty of space for your valuables. It also has a metal inner shelf that can be used or removed as required.
One aspect of this Smarthive safe does give me pause however – the container itself is rugged and made from steel, but the handle is plastic and exhibits a worrying wobble from just a little pressure. It would be rather problematic were that handle to break off, and while I don’t think its a realistic likelihood just from regular use, it nevertheless seems to present a clear weak point.
Having said that, while such a breakage would present difficulties in accessing the safe, I don’t think it actually compromises the security, so it would represent more of a nuisance than a calamity.
That being said, as in all other respects I find the Smarthive digital safe to be very impressive, I’ll just make remark upon it here but I don’t think it impacts significantly enough to remove a star.
p.s. I must commend the secure protective packaging; it’s not quite as sturdy as the safe itself but it ensures it arrives in perfect shape.
We already have a safe, but have a,ways found it a bit too small, and as such it never quite fitted the house deeds in and for them to remain totally flat. They are over 100 years old so not a regular modern sizing, but now with this larger safe that matter is now resolved and the documents can lie nicely flat.
This safe operates in much the same way as my previous one, with keypad security and an override key, which we’ve stored somewhere secure and that we know exactly where it is if needed.
You can easily change the code for one of your own, which is issue tail, please don’t use the factory setting! The only drawback with this safe, as opposed to a mechanical one, is that’s it is battery powered, and requires 4 AA batteries to operate. I haven’t used the back up supply, which takes a further four batteries, as it has the key override, so if you do it needs 8 AA batteries, nine of which are supplied, which is a shame given the price point.
Overall this is a sturdy larger than average safe box. It comes with security bolts, which are a must to install, or it’s a bit pointless if it can be removed (even with the alarm going). If you’re going to invest, make the effort to secure it properly for piece of mind. Price wise, it currently has 25% off, which makes it a reasonable 75 ish mark, it’s not bad for that, but I wouldn’t pay the full price. Four stars from me overall.
I'm happy with it.
I always wanted to buy a safe. I think that when you mature you gain more valuable or precious thaings and you realise that some things need to be protected.
We got this safe mainly for jewellery and important documents like deed for our home.
It is not fire proof but you can just buy fireproof pouches.
The safe is standard size, we have hidden our in the pantry as this is not an obvious choice like wardrobe.
The internal shelf is removable. Safe comes with screws to fit to the back wall
It is very easy to set up and instruction is easy to understand.
It will beep loud if you enter wrong code 3 times or if you remove key when opened.
Personally I prefer safe with handle & 1 key rather than 2 keys but it’s not a huge difference in use. Safe is quite heavy.
The keypad is operated with use of AA batteries . And is very well responsive.
Great product overall, I would buy again and I would recommend
I hope my review and photos were helpful

A Solid Household or Small Business Safe – A Little Quirky In Use
Whilst we do not have a great deal of jewellery or hold much if any cash around the house these days, we do have ownership documents and policies that are important. This looked like an idea solution to keeping them in one place and out of harms way.
Ordered the safe and it was delivered the next day in a chunky, honeycombed box, it comprises the safe itself, two sets of keys, a plug in battery holder pack (no batteries supplied) and mounting kit. The safe measures 38 x 30 x 30 cm and weighs 13 Kilograms, it has mounting holes at both the rear and on the bottom so you have options of securing to a solid floor or wall — I would suggest that fixing to a wardrobe or plasterboard wall is insufficient to prevent it being easily removed. The safe reminds me of the type you get when in hotels on holidays abroad, though unusual in the respect that they are generally a key, a card or a digital keypad — not a combination of two of them like this safe. The large or master key acts as the normal users key and also as a handle to open the door, quite an odd choice for a safe I felt. Inside the safe there is a shelf, the rear mounting holes for the wall and a felt cover for the base, underneath which you will find the mounting holes for the floor if needed. On the door a small light on the rear of the door provides a little illumination in the safes interior — useful in the dark, whilst on top of the door is the battery holder resided under a pop off plastic cover for 4 x AA sized batteries (not supplied) and a reset button is also located here.
To use the safe you first gain access by inserting the small key in the right hand side lock beneath a small slide cover, and turn it clockwise, and the large master key intoi the left hand side lock beneath its small slide cover and turn anti clockwise. Now insert the batteries in the aforementioned top of door compartment, this will initialise the digital keypad ready for use. You must now change your master code and user code to those of your own choice (remember these) and you are ready to use it in anger — you can gain access in emergency using the emergency battery pack and keys. Be aware that there is an alarm in the safe which is triggered by vibrations such as attempts to move the safe, or by three incorrect attempts to open it using the keypad. If the alarm is triggered it will sound for 60 seconds — or until a correct code is entered on the keypad. You can set a date and time on this safe, and thus you have the ability to check for previous unlocking records, however since it seems anyone can override the date and time that is set I do not see the value in it. I have attempted to contact Tiger King who have a listed email address on the documentation to discuss this without success. The safe digital display is quite clear, though you do have to look at it head on / from the side as from above or below you get a background washed-out display of all zeroes making it harder to see whilst entering digits.
I must admit I had not thought about a safe for important documents, bits of jewellery and a couple of items that we hold dear to us even if not of high value, but now we have it I feel a lot better knowing that they are secure. The safe is practical, strong and whilst it is fairly big and takes up a whole shelf in its location, it is a welcome addition to the homes security. At nearly 140 it is a bit more than I would wan to pay, but there are vouchers offered on this at various times of between 20 and 50% so watch for them.

Great Safe with a few quirks
So let’s get right to the good parts, the safe looks brilliant! The blue backlight and LCD is clear, fail safe has 2 keys, both keys need to be used for the door to open which is better than the safes with only one, comes with bolt fixings aswel, plenty of room for bigger items.
Things i did not like was the poor instructions, and the buttons on the keypad let down it’s otherwise good looks.

Vary safe; safe
The safe does remind me of a hotel Safe, with its heavy door and double bolts the safe is very safe. The safe is very heavy
I love how it comes with bolts you can attached it to wall ( please make sure its a Cement wall not plaster board. thieves will just rip your plasterboard.
The safe has multi ways to unlock, you have the keys, the keypad (battery powered) and emergency keys.
I feel the valuables are going to be kept safe, providing you find a secure place to mount it
I recommend this safe
Pros
– Multiple ways to gain entry
– Mounting kit included
– Heavy.
– Similar to hotel safe
Cons
– Need to be attached to concrete wall
– Bit chunky to hide

A very good safe.
It arrives very well packaged.
It’s easy to get it all set up and working.
It’s very sturdy and heavy.
I dislike the fact it doesn’t have an actual handle of the door, you’ve got to hold the key to open it.
Overall though, for the price of it..it’s a good safe at a very reasonable price.

Smarthive Security Home Safe: This safe comes well boxed and protected, it has 2 moulded handles to assist movement as it is quite heavy and is a bit of a lug on your own. The safe is a good size, approx 15″x12″x12″ and is just a little less internally with a removable middle shelf.
The safe has 2 keys and a hidden key hole, this consists of a plastic removable disc, so no fear you can always access safe in an emergency despite a digitalised locking system.
Setting-up the codes isn’t complicated, however advise that anyone doing this reads through the instructions properly first, unlike me who tried to do it step by step and set the alarm off twice (the alarm is very annoying but not so loud your neighbours will scream, but definitely audible in the house). The key thing is to use the pre-set code 1234 first then press reset button to enter your code of choice, then do the same to amend the master code. Once complete this all works well and is simple to use.
The battery box to power the digital system is internal to the safe and requires 4xAA Batteries (not included), which means it cannot be disabled from outside. The safe offers a warning when battery life is low, but if this is missed the keys will still open the door.
We’ve not wall mounted this safe at the moment, however the hardware provided (4 very sturdy bolts) looks like it will provide good support, instead we have this on a secure shelf due to the weight. The safe is a reasonable price, currently 85, however my main issue is that it isn’t fire or waterproof so any important items and documents might be lost. We have a small lockable box which is both fire and waterproof so the ideal solution is to lock important stuff in this then lock the box in the safe – doubly secure.
Very secure and value for money
The safe is delivered in a very sturdy cardboard box. It weighs around 12.5kg. 4 heavy duty screws and plugs are provided so that it can be secured to a wall. There is a small instruction booklet which contains an email address should you have any problems with it. Also 2 master keys and 2 emergency keys plus an emergency battery box which is used if the batteries in the safe run out whilst it is locked. 4 AA batteries (Not supplied) are required and put inside the safe at the back of the keypad to start using it.
The instructions are clear and tell you that it is pre-set at 1234 and the master code is 123456 and to set your own codes up to 8 digits but it doesn’t say that you have to use the same first 4 digits again in the master code. (took me half an hour trying to set a master code up before I realised this fact). An alarm sounds when the wrong code is put into the keypad and this takes a full minute to stop unless you use both keys.
There is no handle on the safe so one of the big keys has to be used all the time to open it. The time and date are input into the LED display but I still haven’t worked out how to change the ‘day’ on it. The safe can log up to 14 opening records which is another good security feature. There are two ways to open the door, one is to use the keypad and the other is to use two keys.
The safe is a good size for domestic use and holds large documents in A 4 envelopes. There is a removeable shelf for any larger items and it will hold a 14″ laptop but no larger.
The price at time of review is 130.89 which is about average for the size of the safe but it is very good quality and value for money in my opinion.
The only thing I don’t like about this safe is that the numbers on the key pad are a silver colour and difficult to see unless at eye level and the key pad only allows 10 second to input your code. Other than that, I like this safe and can recommend it.

The time and date are input into the LED display but I still haven’t worked out how to change the ‘day’ on it. The safe can log up to 14 opening records which is another good security feature. There are two ways to open the door, one is to use the keypad and the other is to use two keys.
The safe is a good size for domestic use and holds large documents in A 4 envelopes. There is a removeable shelf for any larger items and it will hold a 14″ laptop but no larger.
The price at time of review is 130.89 which is about average for the size of the safe but it is very good quality and value for money in my opinion.
The only thing I don’t like about this safe is that the numbers on the key pad are a silver colour and difficult to see unless at eye level and the key pad only allows 10 second to input your code. Other than that, I like this safe and can recommend it.
A serious uni
This is a hefty unit weighing in at 13kg and should be easily big enough to keep those important documents safe and maybe your laptop (14″ or less) or important jewelry when you’re away for a period of time and intend to keep the safe somewhere hidden.
It doesn’t say it’s fire proof but it should survive anything but the worst situation. You can secure this to a wall with the included wall mounts but obviously, this is only as secure as the strength your wall permits. Someone determined enough will get this off an internal wall so if you are using it in your house, you’re going to want to tuck this away out of sight as its very appearance suggests you have something of value.
It arrives in a very substantial box which you can use for storage later which is quite nice — recycling and all. The instructions are not the best due to the language but it’s easy enough to work out. Use the keys to open it, insert the batteries and set up your code. If you put the wrong code in, it give a nasty loud noise which may deter someone from having another go. Input your code to turn the alarm off. The alarm is obviously battery dependent, as is the internal light.
If your batteries run flat or you forget your code, you can use the two keys provided to get back in. You need one of each — see pic. I suggest you leave a set with trusted friends or family if you are using this for your wills. That way if you lose your set, you can still get in.
Listed at 130 this is not a cheap item but I see it has a 50% voucher until the end of January which is a substantial voucher and if you manage to buy it at half price then you have a serious bargain.

SMARTHIVE - Digital Security Safe Box 35L
The SMARTHIVE 34 litre is a nice little safe that is ideal for home use to secure your important items and is made by The Tiger King Safe company, that have produced a vast range of lockable security boxes for over 20 years.
This particular model is a nice size, measuring approximately 38cm x 30cm x 30cm (WxDxH) externally and internally is approximately 24cm deep (allowing for the depth of the door) x 37cm wide x 28cm high.
The whole safe is made from steel, which as you would expect feels very strong and has quite a weight to it. It also features 2 steel bolts that lock the door and the body has nice rounded edges.
On the door is a round control panel with 12 push buttons that is used to enter your unlock codes and a small LCD display that is illuminated.
A small input socket is located just to the left of the keypad and can be used to attach the external backup battery box (included), should the internal batteries run out before you get chance to replace them.
Next to the control panel is a small removable plastic cover that can be prized off to reveal the emergency key hole, to enable you to unlock the safe using one of the 2 supplied keys, should you forget the codes or the battery runs out of power.
Finally, on the far left of the door is a plastic handle used to wind the security bolts back to open and forward to lock.
On the inside of the door is a plastic cover that unclips to reveal the battery compartment which requires 4 x AA batteries (not supplied). If you look carefully, you will also see a red button that is hidden away on the inside edge of the door, which is used to change the unlock codes.
Inside the safe is a removable shelf, which is handy to help organise your belongings but being removable is a huge bonus as it means you can store larger items by taking it out. On the bottom surface is a layer of soft material to help protect items from damage.
The rear of the safe has 4 mounting holes which you can use to secure the box to a wall whilst the bottom has a further 4 mounting holes allowing you to secure it to the floor.

2 x Emergency Keys
1 x User Guide
4 x Mounting Bolts
1 x External Battery Box
***** Installation / Usage *****
Installing the safe is pretty straight forward, as long as you are competent enough to use a drill.
Simply place the safe in your desired location, mark where the mounting holes are positioned and then drill the holes. Place the plugs into the holes, reposition the safe and then use a socket to tighten the bolts and secure it into position.
You can set 2 different codes to deactivate the lock — a user code and a master code.
To set the master code, open the door, press “#” to activate the display and then the “0” button on the keypad twice followed by a press of the red reset button on the inside of the door. Now enter your new code using the keypad (3 to 8 digits) and then press the “#” button to confirm.
The user code is set by simply opening the door and then pressing the red reset button before entering your new code and confirming it with the “#” button.
When you shut the door and turn the handle, the safe will lock and can then be opened by pressing the “#” key to turn on the display and then inputting either the user or master code and then pressing the “#” button again. You will hear a beep, see a the word “open” on the control panel and then hear the mechanism unlock, allowing you to turn the handle and open the door.
If you enter your code, but then do not open the door it will lock itself again after several seconds.
If an incorrect code is entered you will hear a series of beeps and the display will show “Error” if this is done 3 times in a row a siren will activate for 20 seconds and the keypad will be locked for 3 minutes.
Once you have locked the box, you can also activate the vibration alarm, so that a siren will activate for 1 minute if the safe is knocked. This is done by pressing the “*” key on the pad.
***** Conclusion *****
I think the size of this particular model is great for home use and the internal space is large enough to store a good amount of items, even when you take into account the thickness of the door.
The product feels nice and strong, which is of course the whole point of the item and the locking mechanism works very well. It also has a bit more weight to it than my old one, which was slightly smaller in size.
I like having the option of a user code, as well as the master code as it means you can temporarily give the user code to somebody and then change it again when they no longer need to access the safe.
I also really like that you have 2 emergency keys, as it would be a complete nightmare if you forgot the unlock codes or the batteries ran out before you had chance to change them, leaving you unable to access your items inside. The external battery box is also a nice feature, although I would probably just use the key and change the batteries inside.
It is also worth mentioning that you can use between 3 and 8 digits for your codes. Being able to use 8 digits increases the amount of possible codes immensely, making it extremely unlikely that somebody would be able to guess the correct code, especially when combined with the 3 minute lockout, so another thumbs up here.
Overall, I think as a simple security safe for home use this is a great product but if you wanted to secure higher priced valuable items then I would probably look for something insurance approved, as well as fire and water proof.
The current full price of 125 is probably a little over-priced when compared to other similar products, but with the current 50% off voucher, I think it offers good value for money.
Hotel Room Safe for Home Use
Anyone who has stayed in a hotel bedroom with a safe will be familiar with this item. The construction feels robust and well engineered. The design allows for both keyed and keyless entry and it has a number of good features to protect access. There are four holes drilled in the rear with supplied bolts for fixing to a wall. I have some mixed feelings about using a safe in your own property. It is ideal if the house is unoccupied and you’re protecting valuables from a opportunist burglar. However, if you were confronted by a determined intruder who demanded access to the safe, would you divulge the code if threatened with violence? For myself, I will fix it to the wall inside a fitted wardrobe to make it less visible. That way I feel our valuables will be secure if we’re away from home for any period of time.

Good size, very secure and easy to install. Master keys provided!
SMARTHIVE Security Home Safe
This safe is packaged in what must be the strongest cardboard box that I’ve come across, the safe is certainly well protected during shipping. When this arrived I was quite surprised by how big it was measuring 38 x 30 x 30 centimetres. It appears to be strong and well made from heavy gauge steel, it is also quite heavy for it’s size.
This can be fixed securely to a wall through the back panel of the safe using the supplied anchor bolts, it can also be screwed down through the base if you prefer.
Although clearly strong and well protected from theft, the safe is not fireproof or waterproof due to it’s single walled frame. This can easily be overcome by using a fireproof document bag for any important papers. The safe does seem to be designed to make breaking into this very hard, the heavy gauge door is set deep within a recess making it difficult to prise open. The door is secured by 2 large steel pins that should never bend or break under any sort of pressure a thief might put on them.
The safe has a large shelf that can be placed halfway up, or if you wish, the shelf can be removed. On front of the door is a large digital display with push buttons. Also on the front is a removable cover where a master key can be inserted (2x keys provided), the keys are designed in such a way that they cannot be easily copied. I doubt very much that this type of key lock could be picked either due to it’s unusual design. It does appear that the master key is unique to each safe as it has a key number stamped on the side.
The digital keypad and display are powered by 4 x AA batteries which are inserted on the inside of the door. The master code can be easily changed to whatever you wish, the code can consist of 3-8 digits. Also included is a separate battery holder that has a single 3.5mm jack plug attached, this can be plugged into the front of the keypad. The purpose of this is to power up the keypad in the event that the batteries fitted inside the safe become drained, which is possible if the safe were to be left locked over long periods of time. If the keypad ever fails or you forget your code then the master key can be used to open the safe.
Overall, this is a very strong, good sized, substantial safe for the money. It is a shame that it’s not fireproof, but I suspect if it were then the asking price would be much higher.
If you want to keep some cash or important documents safe from theft or prying eyes then this will be ideal. Purchase a couple of fireproof document holders and you are sorted – Highly Recommended!

Thank you for reading my review, I hope you have found it helpful.
Quality, Steel Alloy, Two Bolt Lock, Digital Keypad Safe Box
The Smarthive Safe and lock box, judging by its credentials, will thankfully be a bit of a tough nut to crack, or in this case, safe. There are two 20 mm locking bolts set into the door of this safe to ensure what’s locked in there, stays there until you retrieve it.
Initial access to the safe can be achieved by inserting the smaller of the two keys (the emergency key) into the right hand lock as you face the door of the safe and turn this anti-clockwise, and the longer of the two keys (the master key) into the left hand lock and turn this one clockwise.
Once inside of course, you can then set about inserting four ‘AA’ batteries into the battery receptacle on the top of the door. This will then give you the power necessary to drive the digital keypad where you will enter your access codes. A low battery light will indicate when you should change the batteries and a small LED light can be found at the back of the door assembly to light the inside of the safe. The included manual will walk you through the above, step by step.
At a weight of some 13 kilograms, this alloy steel safe could still be quite easily removed simply by lifting it, which is why there are four bolts included in the pack. These four anchors will allow you to secure the safe to any immoveable surface you can gain access to, thus eliminating the possibility of a grab and run event. The safe also has a smart warning system in which any violent vibration or three incorrect attempts on the digital keypad will set of an alarm of 60 seconds duration, however, this can be halted by entering the correct pin code.
You will find, inside the safe, a battery container which you will only have to use in an emergency, so obviously best to keep this stored in a secure location. You will need this to open the safe in the event that you let the internal batteries run out of power while the safe is locked. A dividing shelf is also present within the safe which is removable should you wish to store larger valuables.
In summary, although I have yet to decide where I intend to site the safe permanently, I’m absolutely delighted with the quality of this product, and once I have it anchored down, as are my intentions, I’ll feel reassured that my valuables will be secure.
The first thing to appreciate is that is a home safe, you wouldn’t keep the Crown Jewels in it, but for home use, this is a superb, well-made safe, with excellent features, and constructed VERY robustly.
The safe is very strong, with large steel shooting bolts (not motorised, hence handle) locking the door, and the whole thing very heavy duty with no seams to jemmy etc.
Size is decent, and the safe can be bolted to a wall or floor, with bolts supplied.
The safe can be programmed with a number between 4 and 8 digits, which is good, with great features like privacy so the number isn’t displayed when you enter etc. You can have a user code plus master code.
You can over-ride with the master key (thereby opening mechanically — 2 x keys supplied), so good fail-safe. In addition, if the batteries have exhausted (although you will get low battery alert in advance), you can connect an emergency battery pack (provided — just add batteries to this). I will say though, the included instructions don’t say where you plug into, and it took a few moments of head-scratching before noticing it is in the front, to the left of the keys! Obviously if you have the over-ride keys to hand, you wouldn’t need the battery pack option, just open and replace batteries inside.
Overall, this is a really good home safe, with lots of great features such as 3 x minute lock-out after 3 x incorrect entries, audible alarm under strong impact (trying to force open etc) and more. Unfortunately, it isn’t fire or waterproof, so any important documents should be kept in a suitable fire retardant box within. Great quality, decent value.
I hope this has been helpful.
This combination safe comes in a protective box and it is heavy (15kg+). It comes with two user keys, two master keys, external emergency battery box and expansion bolts for installation onto the wall.
The plastic used on the battery casing and the key pad does look a little tacky, but then the price of the safe does reflect this.
There are three ways to open this safe:
user key + master key
user key + user combination
user key + master combination
This safe cannot be opened without the user key (long one). The user key also act as a pulling handle as the door has no handle.
Setting up, such as changing the user and master combinations, is simple, just need to follow the instructions booklet. Combinations consists of maximum of 8 digits.
The safe measured to about 34L in capacity. There is a removeable shelf inside. Ample room for a few A4 folders with the shelf removed.
There is a small light on the door that will turn on briefly once door opened and turn off by itself after a 30sec or so. You will be able to see the content briefly in the dark.
You may set the date and time in the key pad, the safe will then record up to 14 unlocking records. So you will know if someone has opened the safe without you knowing by checking the unlocking record.
There is an external battery pack that can be plugged into the underside of the keypad in case of the installed batteries ran out, a good thought-through.
Could not find the instruction on how to turn off the beeping sound when key is pressed, I am still trying to figure it out but I am sure there is a silence mode.
The instructions are written by google translate, but you will know what it is trying to say.
Overall, I think this safe is great for people who likes a physical key access. This is also good for offices in the situation that you want the safe to be opened only if two people are presence simultaneously, one person can hold the key whilst the other will set the combination.
