This is a very high quality locking case. That was the first thing I noticed when I picked up it. It feels solid and perfectly made. The large size holds a Ruger EC9S with an extended magazine as well as two additional magazines. I would highly recommend this to my friend. I personally have already purchased another one with the combination lock. I consider my purchases and reviews to be of utmost importance so I devote considerable time to reviewing everything I purchase on Amazon for personal or business use, in order to assist other people purchasing that particular item.

I use this locking box in my backpack often for the purpose of locking prescription medications with roommates and family, high street housing, and its street value. It would be close enough to keep away children or addicts. I got this because my medicine went missing. It comfortably fits four medium or normal size 60 capsule pill bottles, four MedL Bottles, and my daily pill separator. I did take one of the foam insets out. They come with a top and bottom form inset to hold the valuables in place, which is very nice. Almost all people can pick firesafe locks. If someone wanted to do so without me noticing, then they would not without the code, randomize it to a significant number, parents age, or something that other people have no clue about. I have had numerous safes and lockboxes but I have paid well. However, bypass keys bypass those types of safes and defeat the purpose of a keypad combo as they could just open it right up if they found the bypass key(s) which was exactly what I wanted. It is cheap enough that if I really forget a three digit code and desperately need it, I could pry it open most of the way, saw it open but it would obviously be demolished. I recommend it to anybody who wants to keep things safe and in a safe location. The heavy duty steel tension cable carries strong wire, and the slot on the side is to connect it to metal frames, beds, or other structures. The gun store sells the screws to mount it to the wall, shelf or drawer.
I really like this case and the price. It seems fairly sturdy, and includes either a cable to lock it up, or holes in the bottom to install a screw in it somewhere. The lock seems like the numbers are backwards, but that is not a big deal. I have never had a problem with locking, unlocking, latching, or unlatching it. I purchased the XL but found it to be a little smaller than I expected. I have attached a photograph of it containing my SW shield. I would have problems fitting a 1911 size. I was tight for comfort, especially since you need to give clearance for the latch. It is nice that it is California DOJ certified. The foam appears nice, and maintains the gun position even when it is being transported vertically. I would recommend this to anyone who would like to keep a gun safe in their car, drawer, etc.
I had purchased several cases similar to this from a large distributor. I have been searching for one because they discontinued the item. I was surprised to receive this one. It has many different improvements over the previous one. The first is there is a heavy duty metal lip on the inside that prevents the case from being pried open. Secondly, the cable is superior in every way. It has a metal lug on one end, which works nicely in the slot when the case is closed. It is a heavier cable that has a nice cover over it. I am familiar with the lock and latch system. I had a number of key versions of cases that were difficult to track. The combination lock seems to be fitted upside down. This is perfect for travel due to its size and functionality.
This will be rated 5 stars because it performs well and is designed to be used for what it was intended to be. As a delivery driver, I spend quite a bit of time in my vehicle in a city, and sometimes I have a good amount of cash tips on me. I purchased this for all my money that I do not immediately need, including spare house keys, medication, credit cards, etc. while I am on deliveries in sketchy parts of town, sometimes after the bars close. I'm not a paranoid person, but a little peace of mind never hurts. The box itself feels very well built and solid. It's soft and quiet, but durable. I noticed that if something is placed too close to the mechanism, the safe is impossible to lock. If you scoot it away just an inch it works perfectly. I could see this causing some serious frustration, if you were to somehow get it locked this way, then have it become stuck in the locked position. Something to keep in mind. I have read that the dials are difficult to read. The other issue, which I find tone more neutral, is that the foam on the inside of the safe does not stay put inside the housing. It almost always falls out when you open it. I believe that a strength exists from this. On the positive side, you can store things underneath the foam if you really want to, and with some adhesive backed Velcro, you can have it both ways. I will absolutely be buying another one of these if I ever find myself in need of a second one.

I got a safe to lock up some personal products from the wrong hands. I hadn't even considered mounting it, so it was nice that it had the option to do so. It is very simple to use and understand once you read the instructions. Setting up the initial pin was quick and simple. It will walk you through the first steps and you will be ready to proceed. It comes with a set of keys that you can input after removing a cap, which was also a nice way to hide the key entry on the safe. The safe itself is very sturdy and can survive a beating. This is an excellent option due to the cost however, the size is smaller than you think it should be.
I paid 40 and the quality is very much worth the money. I am not expecting to see anything of the top quality or the bottom of the barrel. It is a very good value. I really like my new safe. I need something to store passports and other important documents in order to prevent damage, and this item is sufficient. It was inexpensive, and had enough room inside for a pistol. A criminal can break off with the whole safe. Once I decide on where it is best, I will be bolting it down with the provided screws. It is difficult to get in, therefore I feel quite confident in leaving valuables inside. It comes with two keys, four batteries, and instructions. It is a simple question and answer. You will be satisfied for the money you spend. I was looking at safes worth 800. They are designed to last. The most important requirement is fire protection. Hopefully, I will not have to discover if this is as able to truly withstand fire. I was impressed by the responsive keypad and the ease of setting the code. I did not like the inexpensive battery that came with it. I did not purchase the batteries. In the pictures I have ten passports, about fifteen documents, and a pistol. Its size can be seen compared to a Hot Wheels car.
I really enjoyed the size of this safe. The size is comparable to the size of safes at resorts, hotels, and cruise ships. My husband frequently has a fair amount of cash on hand. It always made me nervous being in random areas of the house that were not secured. We now have a safe so we could keep spare cash as well as passports, fine jewelry, and other valuables. It is very easy to set up and use once you read the instructions. Setting the initial pin was simple and it also comes with a set of keys to use if needed. I like that the safe is small and light weight, to where we could grab and go with it out of the house in the event of an emergency, fire, etc. This safe is not large - check the dimensions for what you are needing.
It was ideal for my personal needs to be stored securely and properly. I used to have a safe years ago, but I never felt like it was enough to protect my valuables. This is a safe, and I needed to be sure that my items were secure. I keep watches, money, and a few jewelry items in it. I am able to be very forgetful, and so I really like the key feature in the event I forget the code. The setup was very simple, with the option to elect my own codes, which I find to be much easier to remember. This safe is recommended for anyone looking to be confident when planning to store valuables.
It is not a secure solution to extremely valuable objects. It is a sensible option for people who do not want their keys to be in plain view like house and vehicle keys, wallets, identification cards or sunglasses. If all that is routinely locked into the little safe, then you know where it is. You do not have to do anything. It takes a few seconds but once you become accustomed to doing it it becomes easier to do. It is better to break it down so that a casual thief can not break it up and take it. I have noticed that they're going to look quite unattractive if they take the entire desk.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
Recently I recently did a lot of research to find a home safe. I am sure my decision is correct. This high quality safe is really heavy duty and reliable. The exterior material is very sturdy. It is perfect because of the internal structure and its high capacity requirements. Also, it is user friendly and easy to setup. The mini safe inside the box enhances the safety. I also tried the anti theft alarm. I do not like it at all, but I did enter incorrect passwords multiple times. It is a perfectly safe to use. I highly recommend this to all those who are looking for the safe box. 50 off is a great deal.
It is for personal use and to store important documents. The size is perfect for fit in the changing room. I like that it has a top lockable box inside. That would be great for wallets and passports. The password was set easily without trouble because the user manual is easy to read and it's easy to assemble. There is a downside, and it is heavy. The weight is approximately 40-50 pounds. I hope it can be a little heavier.
The safe is heavy duty. Assembling it was quick and easy. It would be easy to remove the adhesive in the bottom part of the box. The safe is better than I expected, besides the key racks and pocket on the door it actually has another locked chamber inside that has a separate pair of keys. I could accommodate my valuable jewelry and engagement ring, which would have taken up more than half the space previously available. I have been able to secure all my other valuables inside, including a camera and purse. The safe comes with two sets of keys. One pair for the chamber where you lock up the most valuable things. For double security, one pair is safe. I am pleased with my upgrade because it comes with a keypad.
WHAT WE LIKED MOST:
There are two shelves that may be used inside, if so inclined. It is easy to program security pin numbers and those are allowed two. It might be one for employees, but also one for the manager. In either case, I do enjoy the fact that there are two security pin numbers which can be programmed into the device. The safe is accessible using ACE barrel keys, and other appropriate tools, besides pin numbers for emergency access. I chose the safe because it is very roomy inside. I am not storing gold or money or jewelry, but I am storing documents that are important to me. I am pleased with the purchase.
I am comparing this product to the StackOn PS-20B Biometric Safe. I have purchased two of the stack on safes. This model is better quality, heavier, and has three locking bolts. It is also cheap. I will not know for awhile whether or not the electronics are solid. StackOns Locking Mechanism kept losing power. If you are considering safes, you should realize that this level of safe is not very secure. Someone can open a safe with a crowbar if they want to. A drill is ideal, they can surely accomplish it if they understand where to make the single hole. If you are looking to protect valuable items, you might consider a fireproof safe. They are solider and would endure abuse more easily. You should not just connect it to the drywall. There is no denying that Athivers can break it loose and carry it off. This Paragon safe is a better buy than any similar Stackon model. Do not buy any Stack On Biometric Model.
I searched Amazon for the correct safe. I used this one, and it still was in perfect condition. I also showed my wife it, and she also works it with ease. The only thing that was difficult was the spacing when the door is bolted locked. I took foam door seal and it worked perfectly as the picture shows. I recommend buying this if you would like to purchase a quality and safe wallet.
My experience has been uneventful in the first couple of months, so I am rating it five stars. The safe arrived in good condition. I was able to install the batteries and set the combination with no problem, by following the enclosed instruction. The safe opens and closes as expected, and has plenty of room for items. This safe is not one of those with inches thick sides that weigh several hundred pounds. It is made of steel and can be cut through by blow torch without too much difficulty. It could be picked up by a reasonably strong person, at least when empty. If you are looking for something to deter a determined burglar, you are going to need to spend more than this safe costs. It does not have an insulation, so it does not withstand fire for long. However, it serves as a useful deterrent of keeping valuables away from the children or opportunistic encounters. Its appearance is large enough, to make it easy to leave. I can live with those limitations, so it gets five stars.
The locks make sense and are functional. I recommend that you get one used, as the price is too high, otherwise. If someone breaks into your house, they would likely not feel that they had the time to open it. It doesn't matter what safe you have if they did have the time.
