Great Yale quality.
It’s a great little thing. It’s a little tricky to figure out initially. A manual is provided with diagrams only and no instructions. It is of very good quality and was purchased for my daughter as a present.
Brilliant little safe
Brilliant just what I was looking for happy with my purchase does the job
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.
Great safe
Fab item! Very spacious and just what we needed. Set up was so straight forward and installation was easy too. I think it looks great and I’m very happy with this product.
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 bit of ki
Good piece of kit.. small enough to be put discreetly away, and big enough t hold important documents
Peace of mind
A good product for basic security of small items whilst not home
Small safe easy set up
Seen a lot of bad reviews about this but I found it very easy to set up instructions not the best but a little common sense
Excellent product for the price!
I like this product because it has one of the leading names in locks. It’s nice and sturdy easy to operate five digit code. I use it for passports my will insurance and other important documents. I’m not saying it will foil a serious safe breaker but it will deter the average burglar.Exell
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.
Sturdy
You know what your going to get with Yale, feels sturdy!
I recommend
Really good and easy to instal. It keeps all stuff well safe and it fells medium sturdiness. Overall I would recommend
Good stuff
Got this to store my late Mum’s medicines for her home care. Sturdy and safe, did the job of keeping the medicines safe. Was easy to set up, and easy to use.
Good size locke
Its a pretty good safe with security features. A perfect medium size.
It doesn’t feel quite sturdy product though with low quality door.
Perfect for the cupboard and much bigger inside than what i though
Perfect for the cupboard and much bigger inside than what i though
Good enough for my purposes and good value
Nice simple safe. Fairly light so would be easy for burger to get away with but not necessarily to break into. Solid enough to keep out the kids!
The installation instructions leave A LOT to be desired
The safe itself seems sturdy and well made, the keypad, which is powered by 4 x AA batteries (the ones supplied seemed cheap so I binned them and used Duracell batteries) is very responsive and it is easy to adjust the combination to your personal code, the safe comes with 2 override keys incase the batteries die or you forget your combination code. I read in other reviews about a flaw that if you wiggle the latch and bang on top of the safe it opens, I tried this and Im pleased to say it stayed locked.
The installation instructions leave a lot to be desired all they state is that you need a drill (no mention of what size bit, I used a 10mm) and a spanner to tighten the coach bolts that hold the safe to the wall/floor (there are pre drilled holes for either option) again I used a 10mm spanner to tighten the coach bolts. The Safe appears to be held securely and has my personal code programmed in. All in all it too approx 20mins to install and I’m happy with it.
Simple to use home safe
Cheap, easy to use safe for low/mid value items.
No idea why some people found it difficult to set up, you literally press the set button and key in your chosen code then ok… Couldn’t be simpler.
As others have mentioned, where you bolt the safe is the crucial bit and if you have really high value items they should really be stored at the bank
great value
Very sturdy and heavy for the price. Not sure whether it could be opened once the keypad was ripped off though. But it is not meant for storing high valuables at that price anyway. Very pleased with it for what I want it for.
Great value and easy to use
Cant fault it, does its job what more can you ask for? Very easy to set up and use also.
Your safety and security
It was what I needed and is sturdy so gave me peace of mind.
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.
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.
Very good and very easy
Great item, feels very secure, easy to set up and use.
Lots of room but also compact enough to be installed out of the way of beady eyes.
good for what it is
at this price a good product but battery life /usage lets it down a bit. overall its worth i
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.
Great value for money
Decent build quality, took me all of 30 seconds to open the box and set it up.. only downside is the cheap branded batteries it comes with, not a big issue though, doesn’t use a lot of power.
Great quality does exactly as it says and easy to follow instructions 👍
exactly as described and when secured to a floor or wall there’s no getting it off i wanted the next size up but that was my mistake plenty of room and it serves its purpose well with clear instructions i wouldnt expect anything less from yale great quality.
Keep your things safe
Its so great and useful
Plus its a great size that means it can fit anywhere
strong
perfect for i wanted it for just to store passports and small items.
Good!
Great value for money, door rattles a bit but what can you expect from the price. Guess you can say its rather safe?
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 buy
Great safe idea for your home or if you have a holiday home. That you might rent out.
Great Value Safe
I like everything about this safe…the size, the ease in mounting, and the sturdiness are exactly what I needed. The only thing that is a little less than perfect is the locking handle, it feels a little loose and not very sturdy. However, I’ve had no issues with it other than how it feels. Everything works as it should.
Good quality, fair price.
The quality I expected at a fair price. I would buy again.
Strong/Sturdy
Good for keeping important documents safe, as well as other collectibles and small investments. Can be bolted onto floor. Could do with having a light of sorts in there.
Smaller than I imagined
It’s too small ok for a few little items but won’t fit A4 paperwork in i
Good safe
Good safe , ideal for use at home for cash and important documents
Good produc
Great product and a great fast service. Does the job!
Solid safe
Good solid safe and easy to install. A must for personal valuables
Great yea
Can fit my lap top, 2 keys pin choice available good size great quality
brillia
Great safe and very simple to install and straight forward to program. Brillia
Worth the Money
I do like this safe, well worth the money, setting the key pad up was easy and the fact that you have a precautionary key if the batteries run out to open it makes it even better. Plus you can screw it in at the base as well as the back.
I checked out a few different manufacturers but I’ve always trusted Yale and that’s why I went for this.
Safe
Very good safe you can put it on the wall very easily very good code lock
Very secure.
Easy to use with keypad or key, well made and very secure
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.
Product good, manual
Great product but user instructions to set the combination are very poor. YouTube will bail you out though. This is why I haven’t given 5 stars.

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.
Banging safe
Good safe makes a bit of a rattle but oh well my valuables are protected
Ok
The self was broke but still using and works ok
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! 🙂
007
Fantastic product. Room enough for all important documents and items. Easy to set up. Attractive. A steal for 33.99.
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.
No fuss, well made and good looking.
It looks well made and in my opinion it is. Look wise it is very sharp. Spacious but no inner shelf. Not a problem for me. Easy to set up and mount.
well worth the money easy to install recommend and family and friends to invest in 1
Nice and easy to install no problems whatsoever really pleased with the product and would recommend one 2 family and friends
Keeps things "safe"
Just what we needed to keep the important items all togethe
Good for the money
It is what it is; a medium security box. At the price I can’t fault it; fits into the bottom of a wardrobe a treat.
BUT as others note the fixing bolts supplied are crap so I bought my own.
Good sturdy produc
Took a while to work out but great for my needs
Decent safe for the price
Worth the money,
You can’t expect the highest security for the price. Happy with the quality
Cheap but sturdy
First class little safe and right for purpose,in a home environment.
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
Its secure & it works, plenty of space.
I liked the price, the sturdiness & the size. It locks & unlocks with the code.
With spare keys just incase.
Batterys are included. similar to the ones u get on holiday.

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
It's really good to save your important documents
It’s fantastic with a key but I really don’t still understand how to do a password thank you Amazon.
Yale safe
Good product. Struggled to set a code but once had worked it out is fine
Great safe
This safe is fantastic,it’s study,easy to use,has two keys if you don’t want to use digital,but digital is easy to set up and use.would buy again.
Secure safe for things like keys, cash and expensive goods
It’s a safe that can hold money, iPads/phones and keys. Not the sturdiest in the world nor the securest but it gets the job done for domestics
It’s secure
Works fine…although it took me ages to set up the code!
Dad seems happy with i
Since it was a birthday present I’m not sure how it is but my dad seems very happy with i
Great produc
Great product. Very easy to set up and had no problems.
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
Bargain product very happy
Haven’t used it yet but it looks and feels like a bargain I’m very happy
Quite good
It’s really quite good. For what I paid, it’s a pretty decent safe. It does what it says on the tin really. It’s heavy, if that helps. You might’ve seen this type of safe in hotels before.

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.
Compact sturdy easy to mou
Compact unit seems sturdy enough, just using as a key safe
Great value for money
Great little safe, it can be screwed to the floor if needed, otherwise is like the usual hotel safe. Perfect to keep my private documents private, away from certain roommates.

Good quality product and value for money
Great product. I wasn’t expecting it to be so good considering how reasonably priced it was. Plenty big enough for money, personal documents and other valuable items.
Ours was bought for our daughter to use as a bit of fun rather than use a money box, but actually this is a good quality product and we have started using it too.
Just the job
This is easy to install and a great size for home use
Quality and Value for Money
Good quality and value for money. Four fixing holes on the back to make it easy to attach to a wall. Key pad lock but with a key overuse just in case.

It is what it is.
Basic home safe, paint finish could be better. Has all the features of more expensive safes. Overall a good purchase.
Great value.
A great product, good value for money. I am sure it wont stop a determined thief but it will definitely make it more difficul
Safe
Only had it a short time but looks good and safe
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 !
Great safe great price
This Is a great little safe that I have attached to the wall with the bolts provided. Easy to set up and for this price pretty sturdy too, if you’re looking for a entry level home safe, this is grea

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
Amazing safe
Does what it says on the tin really good safe
Fast delivery
Only for money not as strong as i would like but ok for day to day safety
It’s a safe bet !
It does exactly what it says . I would recommend i
Good quality
Upgraded from a key safe to this. Decent and strong for the money. Perfect price too compared to main shops.
