bought 2 and both broke in less then a year
The key hole gets stuck and you can not ok or open the safe. Bought another one thinking it was just a defective product and it happened again.

Secure File
I like that I can sort my important documents in hanging file folders for easy access instead of piling them in a regular safe.

A Great Safe with Good Storage
This is a strong safe for important documents. I like that it has the edges inset to hold hanging folders. All we need to store for 4 adults fits inside. A suggestion to the company is to make the product more enticing by including a set of hanging folders, tabs, and labels much as Noc-Box does. That would really put this product over the top.

Necessary purchase
Needed a safe to store vital documents especially from possible flooding. This is perfect. Just follow instructions and this works.

Perfect Personal Fire Safe File
I've had one of these for over 20 years now, and it is a great fire safe for your most important documents, such as wills, birth certificates, passports and insurance papers, etc. etc. I just bought another one for my daughter to start filing her own personal papers. Paperwork is unfortunately a fact of life here in America, and keeping those papers safe is vital. Mo...

Fire File 1170
Years past, I need large documents, e.g. trusts, titles, etc.. One handed, I can't handling ~100lbs safe. However, a file box fire proof good solution. Yes, I carry it one handed - but it is cumbersome. I hope no never will started or engulf fire my home, but if .... Maybe little lager, 9"x12" envelopes fit .

Fire file that won’t lock and key is stuck
The fire file is fine but the lock was bent and is jammed in and the key cannot turn it.

do not mistake the fact that this has a key for security. one drop on the corner and the lid comes off locked or not. the rear hinge is plastic and only protrudes in to the recess 1/2in.
