Paragon Digital Depository Safe - Lock & Safe Electronic Drop Box for Secure Storage

For the people.: 1 star is to many! WHAT A P.O.S.... DO NOT BUY! I bought for my wife's shop and she had it 3 months when it fell apart! The lock and.key pad don't work, and the bolts are busted off on the hinges. Cant righten because they are all rounded from an impact used on a soft material and over torque. I looked for a way to return to the manufacturer, warranty but no info is given here or in the manual.. You
can download and see for yourself. I'll try to update with pictures tomorrow.

myokay: This is a high quality safe, we needed a place to put money for our schools PTA/PTO and this is perfect
Pros:
- heavy enough that someone could not run away with it
- solid steel construction
- door at top Allis for deposits to be made without having to unlock the door
-digital keypad entry allows authorized officers to access the deposits

Cons:
- the front keypad and door switch are made of plastic and feel cheap, however it is not so concerning that I would take away a star

Great product, would highly recommend

Lanie: This safe is perfect for small, valuable items. It is listed as being fire resistant, not fire proof. There is a difference between the two! We keep all of our car titles and important papers in this safe but they are safely tucked away inside of fire proof bags that we also purchased on Amazon.

It is not going to be water tight either. There are holes in the bottom so the safe can be bolted to the floor, which for me is a plus.

The main reasons I love this safe are:

- It is perfectly sized for home use and can be easily hidden out of sight.
- There is an adjustable shelf on the inside which allows you to put more things in there without having to pile everything on top of each other.
- You can bolt it to the floor or to a wall.
- It has BOTH key and touchpad opening.

We looked at safes for a few weeks before deciding on this one. It is heavy but doesn't require two buffed out grown men to carry it. That was also important to us because when it was delivered, WE had to carry it in the house and put it into place.

It's perfect for what we needed and I'm very glad we bought it because it gives me peace of mind that...

JW: This appears to be a recurring problem. The safe is fairly heavy, and the packaging isn't up to protecting it. The styrofoam packing material was broken, and the front right corner of the safe was noticeably dented - to the point where it would not be acceptable if it were to stand alone. Amazon was willing to work with me and allowed a reasonable rebate. So rather than return it, I built it into a closet cabinet and trimmed it out to cover the damage. The safe gets five stars for function. It works exactly as advertised. It's easy to set the combination, the lock works smoothly and dependably. Can't vouch for its fire characteristics or resistance to break in. Seems very secure, and I know there's no way I could break into it - don't know about a pro. Fit and finish are where it loses a star. As noted by a few reviewers, the door is very loose and flops around a bit when it's locked. However it is easily tightened up with a few (four) rubber drawer bumpers. Took about a minute (Paragon might consider including them). The safe appears to be cast and is not perfectly flat across it's face. Therefore, the trim necessary to disguise the damaged corner...

Dallen8212: This fire proof safe arrived and performs exactly as indicated in the Amazon ad. Let me provide more details.

First off, the packaging wasn't the greatest. The box looked like it have been through a lot and wasn't in the best of shape. Once I cut the box open (from the bottom) I lifted it up and away from the safe. I cleared away the packing material (which was somewhat crumpled) and examined the safe. It was NOT damaged in any way. Its not cracked, dented, or scratched at all. The bottom is not bulging and the safe sets perfectly flat on the floor.

The door does "rattle" in the closed position (just a very little) but no more than what you'd expect. I don't think adding weather stripping to resolve that problem is necessary; as its not a problem. I didn't have any problems storing 2 different combinations in the keypad, the key pad works fine. I also tested the lock out feature by entering the wrong combination (on purpose) and the lock out feature worked. It beeped continuously for 3 to 5 minutes. When the beeping stopped, the keypad was reset and ready to enter another code. The keypad does beep with each key stroke; that doesn't...
